Book 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. 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.
