The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry

The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry is devoted to advancements in nutritional sciences and presents experimental nutrition and clinical nutrition research at the interface with biochemistry, molecular biology, physiology, and toxicology. Its scope includes in vivo and in vitro studies of mechanistic aspects of nutritional sciences, with preferred manuscripts focusing on nutrients and bioactive compounds with nutritional value derived from diets or whole foods as they relate to biochemistry, molecular biology, toxicology, immunology, physiology, and human health and disease.
