Macronutrients and metabolism examine the biochemical pathways and physiological functions of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. This book details energy production, storage, and utilization, along with the hormonal and enzymatic regulation of metabolic processes. It explores metabolic adaptations to fasting, exercise, and overnutrition. Readers gain insights into metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. The material is applicable to nutrition science, sports performance, and disease management.
Camden Steele is a metabolic researcher and biochemist whose work focuses on the interaction of macronutrients with human energy regulation. He has published extensively on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, with ongoing investigations into metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. His laboratory explores molecular responses to different dietary patterns, and he often advises clinical trials in sports and metabolic health. He is also involved in graduate curriculum development related to energy balance and body composition. His areas of expertise include dietary macronutrient modulation, metabolic pathways, and nutrient-gene interactions.
