Emphasizes the metabolic pathways such as 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.Excellent for Biochemistry courses and USMLE Board review.
