Research group launches book on nutrition physiology

Starting this month, nutritionists, nutrologists, gastroenterologists and clinicians can count on one more reference work. The book ‘Fisiologia da Nutrição na Saúde e na Doença: da Biologia Molecular ao Tratamento’ (Nutrition Physiology in Health and Disease: from Molecular Biology to Treatment - so far only published in Portuguese), produced from the initiative of IEA’s Nutrition and Poverty Research Group, will be launched on June 20.

The launch will take place during the ‘Nutrition Physiology Symposium: from Molecular Biology to Treatment’, which integrates the program of ‘Ganepão 2013’ – a traditional meeting organized by Ganep Nutrição Humana, a company specializing in nutritional therapy -, which happens from June 19 to 22 at Fecomercio Event Center.

Edited by Ana Lydia Sawaya, coordinator of the research group, in partnership with Dan L. Waitzberg and Carol Góis Leandro, the work counted with the collaboration of 85 authors. Altogether there are 36 chapters divided into three parts: Physiological Mechanisms of Feeding Behavior; Pathophysiology of Nutritional Disorders, and Interface of Nutrition Physiology and Clinical Practice.
