Medical Biochemistry, Second Edition is supported by over forty-five years of teaching experience, providing coverage of basic biochemical concepts, including the structure and physical and chemical properties of hydrocarbons, lipids, proteins, and nucleotides in a straightforward and easy to comprehend language. The book develops these concepts into the more complex aspects of biochemistry using a systems approach, dedicating chapters to the integral study of biological phenomena, including particular aspects of metabolism in some organs and tissues, the biochemical bases of endocrinology, immunity, vitamins, hemostasis, autophagy, and apoptosis. The field of biochemistry continues growing at a fast pace. This second edition is revised and expanded to cover the current knowledge, with all-new chapters and added sections on bioenergetics and metabolic syndromes; antioxidants to treat disease; plasma membranes; ATPases and monocarboxylate transporters; the human microbiome, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism; autophagy; virology and epigenetics; non-coding, small and long RNAs; protein misfolding; signal transduction pathways; vitamin D; cellular immunity; and apoptosis. Additionally, the book has been updated with full-color figures, chapter summaries, and further medical examples, to improve learning and illustrate the concepts described in the book and their clinical significance Integrates basic biochemistry principles with molecular biology and molecular physiology Illustrates basic biochemical concepts through medical and physiological examples Utilizes a systems approach to understanding biological phenomena Fully updated for recent studies and expanded to include clinically relevant examples and succinct chapter summaries
