Medical Biochemistry: Human Metabolism in Health and Disease

Miriam D. Rosenthal,Robert H. Glew

Description

Metabolism includes various pathways of chemical reactions; understanding these pathways leads to an improved knowledge of the causes, preventions, and cures for human diseases. Medical Biochemistry: Human Metabolism in Health and Disease provides a concise yet thorough explanation of human metabolism and its role in health and diseases. Focusing on the physiological context of human metabolism without extensive consideration of the mechanistic principles of underlying enzymology, the books serves as both a primary text and resource for students and professional in medical, dental, and allied health programs.

About the Author

Miriam D. Rosenthal, PhD, is Professor of Biochemistry and Course Director for Medical Biochemistry at Eastern Virginia Medical School. Dr. Rosenthal has extensive experience teaching and developing curricula for both medical and allied health students.

Robert H. Glew, PhD, is Emeritus Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of New Mexico Medical School. Dr. Glew has taught medical biochemistry at three medical schools in the United States and a medical school in West Africa.

Features

Emphasizes clinically relevant information, helping readers understand the link between metabolic pathways and the causes, preventions, and cures for human diseases
A separate chapter is dedicated to each of the fifteen key metabolic pathways that constitute human metabolism - each chapter features a six-part structure that facilitates a clear understanding of the metabolic processes
Throughout the text, simple figures help readers understand how metabolic pathways and reactions work
Easy-to-follow approach helps readers understand and appreciate the functions, constituent reactions, and regulatory aspects of the core pathways that constitute human metabolism and are responsible for maintaining homeostasis and well-being in humans
Unique chapter structure for medical biochemistry book - takes a six-approach and promotes emphasis on metabolic processes rather than types of molecules per se. Chapters are organized as follows: 1) major function(s) of the pathway, 2) tissues in which the pathway is active, 3) physiological conditions under which the pathway is most active, 4) the reactions that comprise the pathway, 5) regulation of the pathway, and 6) examples of human diseases related to the pathway
