Handbook of Medical Biochemistry Volume 1 : Foundations of Molecular and Metabolic Medicine
Overview
Medical biochemistry explains how molecules and biochemical pathways sustain life and how their perturbations produce disease. This first handbook focuses on core metabolic pathways, enzyme kinetics, intermediary metabolism, and the molecular mechanisms underlying inherited and acquired metabolic disorders. It presents laboratory methods used to measure metabolites and enzyme activities and interprets common biochemical test results in clinical contexts. Chapters discuss metabolic regulation, hormonal integration, and biochemical bases of nutrition and energy homeostasis. Clear diagrams and clinical correlation boxes connect molecular detail to diagnostic clues and treatment rationale. Perfect for medical students, clinical chemists, and trainees seeking a compact biochemical primer.
