Trophology is essentially the science of nutrition and the study of the biological functions related to the process of nourishment. It involves understanding how nutrients and food impact physiology and health. Some of the key aspects of trophology include:

1. Biological Function of Nutrition: It encompasses the processes by which organisms take in, assimilate, and utilize nutrients¹.

2. Metabolic Disorders: Trophology is linked to various metabolic disorders such as atherosclerosis, where improper nutrition can lead to pathological conditions².

3. Evolutionary Perspectives: It considers the evolutionary development of nutritional functions and how dietary practices affect health over time³.

4. Interconnectedness with Other Biological Functions: Trophology is connected to other biological functions like homeostasis (maintaining internal stability), endoecology (cleanliness of the intercellular environment), and cognitive functions⁴.

5. Preventive Measures: Knowledge in trophology is used to develop preventive measures against diseases caused by dietary habits, ensuring nutrient balance and metabolic health⁵.
