In contrast, SFCA  are not normally present in the diet. During the past 15 years SFCA  have attracted considerable interest in human nutrition, physiology  and pathophysiology as a result of the realization that SFCA represent  an important mechanism for carbohydrate and calorie conservation and  may play a role in various types of colitides and possibly in colonic  neoplasia. In addition, SFCA, produced in large amounts by ruminants  and other herbivores, have long been the province of veterinary  physiologists. \u003cbr\u003e  This book is based upon the presentations at the 73rd Falk Symposium  held in Strasbourg, France, September 8--10, 1993, which brought  together researchers and clinicians from five continents. It provides  an excellent statement of the present state-of-the-art knowledge of  SFCA. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1994-03-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792388494\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 288\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541620846732,"sku":"9780792388494","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792388494.jpg?v=1771517788","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792388494","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
