How it begins

Un tratado médico-científico exhaustivo sobre los mecanismos moleculares y las adaptaciones metabólicas celulares que gobiernan el estado nutricional humano. Comprende desde los intrincados intercambios placentarios y la programación metabólica embrionaria, hasta la fisiopatología celular de la resistencia anabólica, la dinapenia, la senescencia biológica y las intervenciones enterales de alta complejidad en…
