Medical Biochemistry: Molecules to Disease

This unique book explains medical biochemistry and its applications to other basic medical science courses, such as physiology and pharmacology, in a simple and enjoyable step-by-step manner. Many features that enhance the learning process, such as the use of an informal writing-style, stories and abundant (non-intimidating!) diagrams, repetition of important concepts, review of only necessary basic chemistry, and logical layout have been included. The first seven chapters present the foundations of medical biochemistry. Chapters 8 and 9 show how basic biochemical concepts are applied to physiology (physiological chemistry) while the last two chapters apply biochemistry to disease (clinical biochemistry). Together with the question book “Medically Relevant Biochemistry Questions (with detailed explanations)”, these two books will give you an excellent understanding of the molecular aspects of the human body in health and disease, a topic that is of utmost importance for the future healthcare professional!.
