The aim of this book is to concentrate on the role of physical training in the regulation of serum lipids in healthy man.

Reasons for the study of tissue materials are discussed.

It is hoped that the material presented in this book will provide the reader with a detailed description of the published research pertaining to the metabolic effects of dietary fructose, will define future research needs, and will stimulate interest in further research aimed at evaluating the advisability of the intake of fructose by humans.

This book provides an authoritative and comprehensive source of information on the biochemical an metabolic aspects of digestion and absorption of different dietary fats and other lipids, with minimal discussion of the physical chemistry of the process, which has been covered in great detail in previous reviews.
