Written by carefully selected global experts, practicing
physicians, and educators in the various sub-disciplines of
biochemistry, Medical Biochemistry, 6th Edition, offers a unique
combination of research and clinical practice tailored to today's
integrated courses. Covering clinically relevant topics in greater
detail than other texts, this outstanding resource provides a
strong overview of traditional areas in medical biochemistry along
with state-of-the-art coverage of today's latest developments.
You'll learn basic science concepts alongside clinical cases that
describe patients likely to be encountered in clinical training, as
well as how to use laboratory tests to diagnose and monitor the
most important conditions. Thorough yet accessible, this clinically
focused text is useful from medical school to clinical practice.
Features a strong clinical orientation, emphasizing the relevance
of biochemistry to the daily practice of medicine. Highlights the
latest developments in regulatory and molecular biology, signal
transduction, age-related chronic disease, epigenetics, and
bioinformatics and the "-omics," as well as important global
medical issues such as diabetes mellitus, obesity and malnutrition,
cancer and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and nutrition
and exercise. Emphasizes clinical evaluation, maintenance of good
health, and disease prevention, as well as translational medicine
and the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Contains organ-focused
chapters addressing the biochemistry of the bone, kidney, liver,
lungs and muscle; and system-focused chapters on the biochemistry
of the immune and endocrine systems, neurochemistry and
neurotransmission, and cancer. Includes clear, colorful icons and
illustrations that help you easily navigate the text and understand
the material. Provides online features such as challenging "Active
Learning" questions for independent study, relevant websites that
reinforce or supplement chapter content, 150+ multiple-choice and
