Description
NEW EDITION!!!
This new edition contains updated illustrations, charts, and tables in color!
EXCELLENT USMLE BOARD REVIEW!
Emphasizes the metabolic pathways (carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids) and their diseases.
For medical students and other health professionals. Includes a large color map of "Biochemistry Land" (an amusement park in which clinical biochemistry can be visualized as a whole). Medical students often complain that their biochemistry courses do not focus on clinical relevance. This book, while not a reference book or a dissertation on all aspects of biochemistry, selects the most clinically relevant material that every clinician should know, and presents it in a way that enables the student to quickly see the subject as a conceptual whole.
For biochemistry courses.
