Trang 8W hy an encyclopedia? The original Greek word means ‘the circle of arts and sciences essential for aliberal education’, and such a book was intended to embrace all knowledge That was the aim of thefamous Encyclopedie produced by Diderot and d’Alembert in the middle of the 18th century, whichcontributed so much to what has been called the Enlightenment It is recorded that after all the authorshad corrected the proofs of their contributions, the printer secretly cut out whatever he thought might giveoffence to the king, mutilated most of the best articles and burnt the manuscripts! Later, and less controver-sially, the word ‘encyclopedia’ came to be used for an exhaustive repertory of information on some particulardepartment of knowledge It is in this class that the present work falls.
In recent years the scope of Human Nutrition as a scientific discipline has expanded enormously I used tothink of it as an applied subject, relying on the basic sciences of physiology and biochemistry in much thesame way that engineering relies on physics That traditional relationship remains and is fundamental, but thefield is now much wider At one end of the spectrum epidemiological studies and the techniques on whichthey depend have played a major part in establishing the relationships between diet, nutritional status andhealth, and there is greater recognition of the importance of social factors At the other end of the spectrum
we are becoming increasingly aware of the genetic determinants of ways in which the body handles food and
is able to resist adverse influences of the environment Nutritionists are thus beginning to explore themechanisms by which nutrients influence the expression of genes in the knowledge that nutrients areamong the most powerful of all influences on gene expression This has brought nutrition to the centre ofthe new ‘post-genome’ challenge of understanding the effects on human health of gene-environment interactions
In parallel with this widening of the subject there has been an increase in opportunities for training andresearch in nutrition, with new departments and new courses being developed in universities, medical schoolsand schools of public health, along with a greater involvement of schoolchildren and their teachers Publicinterest in nutrition is intense and needs to be guided by sound science Governments are realizing more andmore the role that nutrition plays in the prevention of disease and the maintenance of good health, and theneed to develop a nutrition policy that is integrated with policies for food production
The first edition of the Encyclopaedia of Human Nutrition established it as one of the major referenceworks in our discipline The second edition has been completely revised to take account of new knowledge inour rapidly advancing field This new edition is as comprehensive as the present state of knowledge allows,but is not overly technical and is well supplied with suggestions for further reading All the articles have beencarefully reviewed and although some of the subjects are controversial and sensitive, the publishers have notexerted the kind of political censorship that so infuriated Diderot

Trang 10T he science of human nutrition and its applications to health promotion continue to gain momentum Inthe relatively short time since the release of the first edition of this Encyclopedia, a few landmarkdiscoveries have had a dramatic multiplying effect over nutrition science: the mapping of the human genome,the links between molecular bioenergetics and lifespan, the influence of nutrients on viral mutation, to name
a few
But perhaps the strongest evidence of the importance of nutrition for human health comes from the factthat almost 60% of the diseases that kill humans are related to diet and lifestyle (including smoking andphysical activity) These are all modifiable risk factors As individuals and organizations intensify their efforts
to reduce disease risks, the need for multidisciplinary work becomes more apparent Today, an effectiveresearch or program team is likely to include several professionals from fields other than nutrition For bothnutrition and non-nutrition scientists, keeping up to date on the concepts and interrelationships betweennutrient needs, dietary intake and health outcomes is essential The new edition of the Encyclopedia ofHuman Nutrition hopes to address these needs While rigorously scientific and up to date, EHN providesconcise and easily understandable summaries on a wide variety of topics The nutrition scientist will find thatthe Encyclopedia is an effective tool to ‘‘fill the void’’ of information in areas beyond his/her field ofexpertise Professionals from other fields will appreciate the ease of alphabetical listing of topics, and thepresentation of information in a rigorous but concise way, with generous aid from graphs and diagrams.For a work that involved more than 340 authors requires, coordination and attention to detail is critical.The editors were fortunate to have the support of an excellent team from Elsevier’s Major Reference Worksdivision Sara Gorman and Paula O’Connell initiated the project, and Tracey Mills and Samuel Coleman saw
it to its successful completion
We trust that this Encyclopedia will be a useful addition to the knowledge base of professionals involved inresearch, patient care, and health promotion around the globe

Trang 12Structure of the Encyclopedia
The material in the Encyclopedia is arranged as a series of entries in alphabetical order Most entries consist of severalarticles that deal with various aspects of a topic and are arranged in a logical sequence within an entry Some entriescomprise a single article
To help you realize the full potential of the material in the Encyclopedia we have provided three features to help youfind the topic of your choice: a Contents List, Cross-References and an Index
1 Contents List
Your first point of reference will probably be the contents list The complete contents lists, which appears at the front ofeach volume will provide you with both the volume number and the page number of the entry On the opening page of anentry a contents list is provided so that the full details of the articles within the entry are immediately available.Alternatively you may choose to browse through a volume using the alphabetical order of the entries as your guide Toassist you in identifying your location within the Encyclopedia a running headline indicates the current entry and thecurrent article within that entry
You will find ‘dummy entries’ where obvious synonyms exist for entries or where we have grouped together relatedtopics Dummy entries appear in both the contents lists and the body of the text
Example
If you were attempting to locate material on food intake measurement via the contents list:
FOOD INTAKE see DIETARY INTAKE MEASUREMENT: Methodology; Validation DIETARY SURVEYS MEAL SIZEAND FREQUENCY
The dummy entry directs you to the Methodology article, in The Dietary Intake Measurement entry At the appropriatelocation in the contents list, the page numbers for articles under Dietary Intake Measurement are given
If you were trying to locate the material by browsing through the text and you looked up Food intake then the followinginformation would be provided in the dummy entry:
Food Intake see Dietary Intake Measurement: Methodology; Validation Dietary Surveys Meal Size and Frequency
Alternatively, if you were looking up Dietary Intake Measurement the following information would be provided:
DIETARY INTAKE MEASUREMENT
Contents
Methodology
Validation
Trang 132 Cross-References
All of the articles in the Encyclopedia have been extensively cross-referenced
The cross-references, which appear at the end of an article, serve three different functions For example, at the end ofthe ADOLESCENTS/Nutritional Problems article, cross-references are used:
i To indicate if a topic is discussed in greater detail elsewhere
See also: Adolescents: Nutritional Requirements of Adolescents
Anemia: Iron-Deficiency Anemia Calcium: Physiology Eating orders: Anorexia Nervosa; Bulimia Nervosa; Binge Eating Folic Acid:
Dis-Physiology, Dietary Sources, and Requirements Iron: Dis-Physiology, DietarySources, and Requirements Obesity: Definition, Aetiology, andAssessment Osteoporosis: Nutritional Factors Zinc: Physiology
ii To draw the reader’s attention to parallel discussions in other articles
See also: Adolescents: Nutritional Requirements of Adolescents
Anemia: Iron-Deficiency Anemia Calcium: Physiology Eating orders: Anorexia Nervosa; Bulimia Nervosa; Binge Eating Folic Acid:
Dis-Physiology, Dietary Sources, and Requirements Iron: Dis-Physiology, DietarySources, and Requirements Obesity: Definition, Aetiology, andAssessment Osteoporosis: Nutritional Factors Zinc: Physiology
iii To indicate material that broadens the discussion
See also: Adolescents: Nutritional Requirements of Adolescents
Anemia: Iron-Deficiency Anemia Calcium: Physiology Eating orders: Anorexia Nervosa; Bulimia Nervosa; Binge Eating Follic Acid:
Dis-Physiology, Dietary Sources, and Requirements Iron: Dis-Physiology, DietarySources, and Requirements Obesity: Definition, Aetiology, andAssessment Osteoporosis: Nutritional Factors Zinc: Physiology
3 Index
The index will provide you with the page number where the material is located, and the index entries differentiatebetween material that is a whole article, is part of an article or is data presented in a figure or table Detailed notes areprovided on the opening page of the index

Introduction
The role of white adipose tissue (WAT) in storing
and releasing lipids for oxidation by skeletal muscle
and other tissues became so firmly established
decades ago that a persistent lack of interest hindered
the study of the extraordinarily dynamic behavior
of adipocytes However, disentangling the
neuro-endocrine systems that regulate energy homeostasis
and adiposity has jumped to a first-priority
chal-lenge, with the recognition of obesity as one of the
major public health problems Strictly speaking,
obesity is not defined as an excess of body weight
but as an increased adipose tissue accretion, to the
extent that health may be adversely affected
There-fore, in the last decades, adipose tissue has become
the research focus of biomedical scientists for
epide-miological, pathophysiological, and molecular
reasons Although the primary role of adipocytes is
to store triglycerides during periods of caloric excess
and to mobilize this reserve when expenditure
exceeds intake, it is now widely recognized that
adipose tissue lies at the heart of a complex network
that participates in the regulation of a variety of
quite diverse biological functions (Figure 1)
Development
Adipose tissue develops extensively in
home-otherms with the proportion to body weight
varying greatly among species Adipocytes entiate from stellate or fusiform precursor cells ofmesenchymal origin There are two processes ofadipose tissue formation In the primary fat for-mation, which takes place relatively early (inhuman fetuses the first traces of a fat organ aredetectable between the 14th and 16th weeks ofprenatal life), gland-like aggregations of epithe-loid precursor cells, called lipoblasts orpreadipocytes, are laid down in specific locationsand accumulate multiple lipid droplets becomingbrown adipocytes The secondary fat formationtakes place later in fetal life (after the 23rd week
differ-of gestation) as well as in the early postnatalperiod, whereby the differentiation of otherfusiform precursor cells that accumulate lipid toultimately coalesce into a single large drop percell leads to the dissemination of fat depotsformed by unilocular white adipocytes in manyareas of connective tissue Adipose tissue may bepartitioned by connective tissue septa intolobules The number of fat lobules remains con-stant, while in the subsequent developmentalphases the lobules continuously increase in size
At the sites of early fat development, a cular morphology of adipocytes predominates,reflecting the early developmental stage Micro-scopic studies have shown that the second trime-ster may be a critical period for the development
multilo-of obesity in later life At the beginning multilo-of thethird trimester, adipocytes are present in the mainfat depots but are still relatively small Duringembryonic development it is important to empha-size the temporospacial tight coordination ofangiogenesis with the formation of fat cellclusters At birth, body fat has been reported to
