Molecular, Genetic, and Nutritional Aspects of Major and Trace Minerals (Molecular Nutrition)

__Molecular, Genetic, and Nutritional Aspects of Major and Trace Minerals__ is a unique reference that provides a complete overview of the non-vitamin micronutrients, including calcium, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sodium, and zinc. In addition, the book covers the nutritional and toxicological properties of nonessential minerals chromium, fluoride and boron, and silicon and vanadium, as well as ultra-trace minerals and those with no established dietary requirement for humans. Users will find in-depth chapters on each essential mineral and mineral metabolism, along with discussions of dietary recommendations in the United States and around the world. * Presents the only scientific reference to cover all of the nutritionally relevant essential major and trace minerals * Provides a broad introductory chapter on each mineral to give readers valuable background and context * Clarifies the cellular and molecular aspects of each mineral and its genetic and genomic aspects * Includes coverage of all nutritionally relevant minerals―essential major trace minerals and ultra-trace minerals * Underscores the important interactions between minerals so readers learn how metabolism of one mineral influences another

"In an increasingly interconnected world Communication Networks Economy provides the rational understanding necessary to provide universal access to communication means in an efficient way. This book presents the principal elements of the economics of a network as it stands today, taking into account experiences of technicians in the field. The author gives a simplified picture of the current situation in terms of structures and architecture of a network, bearing in mind the necessary quality of service and the profitability of investments, accompanied by references to recent economic works. An overview is given on the general themes of regulation and tariff principles, and the relations between supply and demand, from the perspectives of professional and residential users and network operators. Different aspects of the present situations of networks and the incidence of the Internet on the economy are also presented. In conclusion, the reader will obtain an overview of the most significant issues likely to influence the economics of communications networks as they are today."-- Publisher's web site, Dec. 21, 2016 Front Cover -- Molecular, Genetic, and Nutritional Aspects of Major and Trace Minerals -- Molecular, Genetic, and Nutritional Aspects of Major and Trace Minerals -- Copyright -- Contents -- List of Contributors -- Series Preface -- I - Calcium -- 1 - Calcium-Sensing Receptor Polymorphisms and Human Disease -- INTRODUCTION -- Calcium-Sensing Receptor in the Parathyroid Glands -- Calcium-Sensing Receptor in the Kidney -- Calcium-Sensing Receptor in Bones -- CALCIUM-SENSING RECEPTOR GENE POLYMORPHISMS AND CALCIUM-PHOSPHATE HOMEOSTASIS
