Now available for the first time on Kindle, the world's leading PhD expert on Amino Acid nutrition shares this comprehensive look into exciting new field of Amino Acid Nutrition! Dietary Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) are the fundamental building blocks of life as we know it. EAAs are the "active" components of dietary protein and as such are the only macronutrients required for survival, yet the benefits of optimal EAA nutrition are generally underappreciated. In this groundbreaking new book Dr. Wolfe shares the secrets to losing weight, correcting metabolic imbalances and enhancing quality of life through amino acid nutrition. This book takes the latest in cutting-edge nutritional therapy research and makes it easy for everyone to understand. You'll learn how to improve your health, increase your strength, and gain more energy in everything you do. EAASE (Essential Amino Acid Solutions for Everyone) is a lifestyle program designed by Dr. Wolfe which combines simple nutrition and exercise strategies with regular use of dietary supplements of essential amino acids (EAAs) to lose weight, improve health and gain strength. This revolutionary program is based on documented scientific principles of physiology and nutrition. Exercise recommendations to benefit muscle and overall physical health are designed to work together with the nutritional components of the program for maximum benefit. The early chapters of the book contain a basic overview of the role of amino acids in the body. This information is followed by a discussion of the ways in which amino acids maintain the functions of skeletal muscle, brain and liver. The processes by which the body generates energy is described as the foundation for the EAASE program for weight management. Finally, the specifics of the EAASE program for a variety of common circumstances are described. Each chapter concludes with "Essentials", a bullet-point listing of the key points and important facts on each topic to provide reinforcement of ideas and an easy way to reference information.About the Author: Dr. Robert R Wolfe has over 40 years' experience as a PhD researcher at several of the world's top universities and medical centers, including Harvard University. Dr. Wolfe has published over 500 peer-reviewed papers, and is widely respected the world's foremost authority on amino acid nutrition.

Protein has become one of the most misunderstood nutrients. Protein is broken down during digestion and later restructured to make the proteins and enzymes the body needs for life. Protein consists of amino acids, which are used in the construction of neurotransmitters, hormones, muscle and other tissues. This User's Guide demystifies Protein and Amino Acids and explains how readers can use them to enhance their health.

This edited volume comprehensively highlights recent advances in the metabolism, nutrition, physiology, and pathobiology of amino acids in all the systems of humans and other animals (including livestock, poultry, companion animals, and fish). It enables readers to understand the crucial roles of amino acids and their metabolites in the health and diseases of the circulatory, digestive, endocrine, immune, muscular, nervous, reproductive, respiratory, skeletal, and urinary systems, as well as the sense organs (eyes, ears, nose, skin, and tongue). Readers will learn that amino acids are not only the building blocks of protein, but are also signalling molecules, as well as regulators of gene expression, metabolic processes and developmental changes in the body. This knowledge will guide nutritional practices to improve the growth, development and health of humans and other animals, as well as prevent and treat chronic (e.g., obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders) and infectious (e.g., bacterial, fungal, parasite, and viral) diseases. Editor of this volume is an internationally recognized expert in nutritional biochemistry. He has over 38 years of experience with research and teaching at world-class universities in the area of amino acid biochemistry, nutrition, and physiology. He has published more than 625 papers in peer-reviewed journals, 62 chapters in books, and authored two text/reference books, with an H-index of 117 and more than 55,000 citations in Google Scholar. This publication is a useful reference for professionals as well as undergraduate and graduate students in animal science, biochemistry, biomedical engineering, biology, human medicine, food science, kinesiology, nursing, nutrition, pharmacology, physiology, toxicology, veterinary medicine, and other related disciplines. In addition, all chapters provide general and specific references to amino acids in systems health for researchers and practitioners in biomedicine, animal and plant agriculture, and aquaculture, and for government policy makers.

Modern Methods in Protein Nutrition and Metabolism grew out of a series of seminars (Modern Views in Nutrition) held in 1989 at Iowa State University. These seminars and this book were financed primarily through the Wise and Helen Burroughs Lectureship endowment generously established by the late Dr. Wise Burroughs and his wife Helen. This book comprises 12 chapters, and begins with a focus on amino acid analysis in food and physiological samples. Succeeding chapters go on to discuss concepts and techniques on nitrogen balance; determination of the amino acid requirements of animals; and novel methods for determining protein and amino acid digestibilities in feedstuffs. Other chapters cover measurement of protein digestion in ruminants; evaluation of protein status in humans; surgical models to measure organ amino acid metabolism in vivo; and measurement of whole-body protein content in vivo. The remaining chapters discuss estimation of protein synthesis and proteolysis in vitro; isotopic estimation of protein synthesis and proteolysis in vivo; n-glycine as a tracer to study protein metabolism in vivo; and mathematical models of protein metabolism. This book will be of interest to practitioners in the fields of human nutrition and medicine.
