Appendix A: Nutrition Methodology B: Cloning and Dot Blots
* Integrates biochemistry and nutrition in a case-oriented
method
* Emphasizes a hands-on approach to learning - case histories and
clinical and research data illustrate all major points
* Places emphasis on metabolism - metabolic pathways, enzymology,
nutrient requirements (including RDA values)
* Reveals the benefits of the Mediterranean diet, the biochemistry
of exercise, the cell signaling pathways, how nutrition can
influence the development of cancer, and the anthropometry and
genetics of obesity.
Dr. Tom Brody received his PhD from the University of California at Berkeley in 1980, and conducted postdoctoral research at University of Wisconsin-Madison and also at U.C. Berkeley. His 20 research publications concern the metabolism and pharmacology of folates, cloning an anti-cancer gene (XPE gene), and the structure of an antibody (natalizumab) used for treating multiple sclerosis. The author has 15 years of pharmaceutical industry experience, acquired at Schering-Plough, Cerus Corporation, and Elan Pharmaceuticals, and has contributed to FDA submissions for the indications of multiple sclerosis, melanoma, head and neck cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, and hepatitis C.
