As a student of a Bachelor of Health Science studying Nutrition- (and it was a prescribed text)- I found this easy to read and understand. The headings were clear and distinct and added to my understanding of the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Human Metabolism 101 - a great book
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2006
Professor Frayn did an awesome job to discuss & present a subject as dry as the human metabolism in a way which is easily accesible not only to biologists and medical doctors, but to educated layman as well.

The approach taken by the book is fully integrative, and discuss human metabolism in context of human physiology. This is what sets this book apart!! Its not yet another biochemistry text which study the metabolic pathways , its so much more.

Personal trainers , athletes , individuals interested in human performance and sport physiology will find this book very atractive and usefull in understanding key concepts of metabolism and metabolic pathways, organism repsonse to various nutritional plans, extremes like starvation & the metabolic changes during intense physical exercise. Human metabolism is a important component of sports and training, and by reading this book, many of its mysteries will be revealed.

Very good value.
