| Summary |
Thoroughly updated and in a new two-color format, this well- respected text presents the fundamentals of biochemistry and related topics to students pursuing a one- or two-semester course in pre-med biochemistry or medical programs. The second edition is equally applicable to other health-related fields such as clinical chemistry, medical technology or pharmacology. Medical Biochemistry, Fourth Edition, focuses on the foundations and clinically relevant applications of normal human biochemistry and pathology. Abundantly illustrated with four-color plates. Revised chapters on molecular biology reflect the latest research in the field Two color throughout with four color plates Reference quality appendices include practical information on clinical lab parameters used to diagnose a range of diseases. |
