Book Description
Abstract: This book reviews the current understanding of essential fatty acids and their role in human nutrition. It is intended to serve as a major textbook and reference source for students, dieticians, specialists in internal medicine, biologists and biochemists in this field. Topics include: dietary lipids and malignant tumour development; factors influencing fatty acid chain elongation and desaturation; the role of fats and EFAs for energy and cell structures in the growth of fetus and neonate; metabolic and nutritional aspects of long-chain fatty acids of marine origin; the significance of fish and fish-oil enriched food for prevention and therapy of ischaemic cardiovascular disease; the role of fat in the treatment of Diabetes Mellitus; and Vitamins E and A.

Book Description
Abstract: A Joint FAO/WHO Expert Consultation on the Role ofDietary Fats and Oils in Human Nutrition addressed the implications of dietary fats and oils on human nutrition in light of positive and negative effects. Two considerations were discussed: 1) importance of fats in foods; 2) safety aspects. Dietary fat has five important functions; 1) energysource; 2) cell structure and membrane functions; 3) fatty acid source for cell structures and prostaglandin synthesis;4) a vehicle for oil-soluble vitamins; 5) control of blood lipids. Fat contributes to food palatability and is important in cooking and food processing. Safety factors revolve around fat-deficient diets and conditions caused by overconsumption. The synthesis of papers covers current knowledge of fat as an energy source, fat's use in adult andchild feeding, essential fatty acids, developmental role of fatty acids, fat in disease prevention, nutritive values, consumption patterns, and food production issues.

Book Description
Dietary fats and carbohydrates represent some eighty to ninety percent of food energy uptake in man; fatty acids play a critical role in human development, health and disease. In affluent populations high fat consumption contributes to heart disease, obesity and type II diabetes mellitus, while in non-affluent groups, the generally poor nutritional state found in young children can be partially attributed to a low fat intake.This book reviews our current understanding of essential fatty acids and their role in human nutrition. The topics addressed include the analysis of dietary fatty acids, dietary fats and fish oils in health and in the prevention of heart disease, linoleic acid in the treatment of diabetes, and the role of essential fatty acids in early human development.
