Amino acids and proteins -- Carbohydrates and lipids -- Blood: cells and plasma proteins -- Oxygen transport -- Catalytic proteins -- enzymes -- Hemostasis and thrombosis -- Membranes and transport -- Bioenergetics and oxidative metabolism -- Function of the gastrointestinal tract -- Micronutrients: vitamins and minerals -- Anaerobic metabolism of glucose in the red blood cell -- Carbohydrate storage and synthesis in liver and muscle -- The tricarboxylic acid cycle -- Oxidative metabolism of lipids in liver and muscle -- Biosynthesis and storage of fatty acids -- Biosynthesis of cholesterol and steroids -- Lipoproteins and lipid transport --Biosynthesis and degradation of amino acids -- Muscle: energy metabolism and contraction -- Glucose homeostasis and fuel metabolism -- Nutrition and energy balance -- Water and electrolyte homeostasis -- Regulation of hydrogen ion concentration (acid-base balance) -- Calcium and bone metabolism -- Complex carbohydrates: glycoproteins -- Complex lipids -- The extracellular matrix -- Role of the liver in metabolism -- Biosynthesis and degradation of nucleotides -- Deoxyribonucleic acid -- Ribonucleic acid -- Protein synthesis and turnover -- Regulation of gene expression -- Recombinant DNA technology -- Genomics, proteomics and metabolomics -- Oxygen and life -- The immune response -- Biochemical endocrinology -- Membrane receptors and signal transduction -- Neurochemistry -- Neurotransmitters -- Cellular homeostasis: cell growth, differentiation and cancer -- Aging.
Medical Biochemistry combines basic science and clinical medicine in a thorough yet accessible, easy-to-read format, and this new edition reflects the latest information on genetic and molecular biology. A new chapter and additional online case studies cover new areas in the field and help clarify difficult concepts. You'll still get the dynamic, full-color design that makes this biochemistry textbook such an effective resource - complete with case histories, advanced concept boxes, and color illustrations. And, as a Student Consult title, it is fully searchable online with a unique image library, case studies, USMLE-style questions, and online note-taking to enhance your learning experience. Demonstrates the relevance of biochemistry to practice through Clinical Boxes integrated into the text. Provides in-depth coverage of important topics in Advanced Concept Boxes on recent research and more
