"""Nutritional Biochemistry"" is a comprehensive and insightful book tailored to meet the educational needs of students at Indian Universities pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate courses in foods, nutrition, and related fields.

This meticulously crafted text offers an in-depth exploration of nutrients, delving into their functions, metabolism, storage, and the implications of their deficiencies, as well as treatments. What sets this book apart is its expansive coverage of topics, including the interactions between nutrients and the immune system, the interplay between nutrients and drugs, and the relationship between nutrients and hormones. Additionally, the book provides valuable insights into the roles of antioxidants and the specifics of sports nutrition.

The information regarding nutrients in foods and the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) is sourced from the authoritative ""Nutritive Value of Indian Foods"" manual, published by the National Institute of Nutrition. This ensures that the content is not only accurate but also relevant to the dietary patterns and nutritional needs specific to the Indian context.

A unique feature of this book is its emphasis on the interconnectedness of nutrients within the body. It moves beyond the traditional compartmentalized approach to nutrient study, instead highlighting the complex interactions and relationships among various nutrients. This integrated perspective is a critical aspect of modern nutritional biochemistry, offering a more holistic understanding of how nutrients work synergistically in the body.

Each chapter concludes with a set of questions, making this book an invaluable resource for students preparing for examinations. These questions not only reinforce the material covered but also encourage critical thinking and a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

""Nutritional Biochemistry"" is more than just a textbook; it's a guide that blends scientific knowledge with practical application, making it an essential resource for students and professionals in the field of nutrition and dietetics. Whether you're a student seeking comprehensive knowledge in nutritional biochemistry or a health professional looking to update your understanding of the field, this book is an indispensable addition to your collection."
