The Physiology Of The Amino Acids (1915)

The Physiology of the Amino Acids is a book written by Frank Pell Underhill and published in 1915. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the physiology and biochemistry of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Underhill explores the various functions of amino acids in the human body, including their role in metabolism, growth, and repair. He also discusses the different types of amino acids and their chemical properties, as well as their sources in the diet.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of amino acid physiology. Underhill begins by introducing the basic concepts of amino acid biochemistry, including the structure and properties of amino acids, as well as their function in protein synthesis. He then goes on to discuss the different types of amino acids, including essential and non-essential amino acids, and their role in human health.The book also covers the metabolism of amino acids, including their breakdown and synthesis, as well as their use in energy production. Underhill explores the various pathways by which amino acids are metabolized in the body, including the urea cycle and the citric acid cycle.Overall, The Physiology of the Amino Acids is a comprehensive and detailed exploration of the biochemistry and physiology of these important molecules. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of nutrition, metabolism, and human health.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
