Overview
Gender Differences in Metabolism: Practical and Nutritional Implications is the first book to successfully integrate nutritional science, exercise physiology/medicine, and metabolism to examine both male and female subjects in light of recent scientific evidence that male and female athletes exhibit different metabolic responses, hence have different nutritional needs that require different nutritional advice. Anyone interested in good health, exercise, and nutrition will find this book a valuable resource.

Reviews
an excellent resource for the exercise physiology or nutrition researcherThe contents of this book will stimulate cutting-edge research -Journal of the American Dietetic Association interestingwill lead to further research in the field of gender differences in metabolism and human biologyThe book is a full three-course meal for the brain. Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism, Vol.,11, No. 7, 2000 This book would be very useful for someone involved in research on exercise or metabolism because it presents a good deal of experimental data in animals and humans. It is also extensively referenced. -Cathy Kapica, FUHS/The Chicago Medical School
