This book presents a clear and precise discussion of the biochemistry of eukaryotic cells, particularly those of mammalian tissues, relates biochemical events at a cellular level to the subsequent physiological processes in the whole animal, and cites examples of abnormal biochemical processes in human disease.

This new Seventh Edition maintains the qualities that have distinguished the text since Albert Lehninger's original edition—clear writing, careful explanations of difficult concepts, helpful problem-solving support, and insightful communication of contemporary biochemistry's core ideas, new techniques, and pivotal discoveries.

Van adrenaline tot dopamine: neurotransmitters beïnvloeden elk aspect van ons leven. Ze bepalen wat we ons herinneren en hoe we beslissingen nemen. Ze beïnvloeden van wie we houden en sturen honger, angst en slaap aan. Wetenschapsschrijver Ginny Smith neemt je aan de hand van aansprekende voorbeelden uit haar eigen leven mee langs vragen als: waarom worden we ‘hangry’? Hoe beïnvloeden hormonen en neurotransmitters onze romantische relaties? Welke rol spelen cortisol en adrenaline bij h...

The ?eld of sensory science has grown exponentially since the publication of the p- vious version of this work. Fifteen years ago the journal Food Quality and Preference was fairly new. Now it holds an eminent position as a venue for research on sensory test methods (among many other topics).

Hundreds of articles relevant to sensory testing have appeared in that and in other journals such as the Journal of Sensory Studies. Knowledge of the intricate cellular processes in chemoreception, as we...
