{"product_id":"9781119965244","title":"Functional Biochemistry in Health and Disease","description":"\u003cb\u003eFunctional Biochemistry in Health and Disease\u003c\/b\u003e provides a clear and straightforward account of the biochemistry that is necessary to understand the physiological functions of tissues or organs essential to the life of human beings. Focusing on the dynamic aspects of biochemistry and its application to the basic functions of the body, the book bridges the gap between biochemistry and medical practice. \u003cp\u003eCarefully structured within five sections, each biochemical, physiological or medical subject that is covered in the book is presented in one complete chapter. Consequently, each subject can be read and studied in isolation although cross-sectional links between the subjects are included where necessary. Background material, both biochemical and medical, that is necessary for an understanding of the subject, is included at the start of each chapter and clear, relevant diagrams enhance students' understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFocuses on medically relevant aspects of biochemistry written from a physiological rather than a chemical perspective.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClear presentation that minimises the use of jargon.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEach chapter contains boxes on related topics, relevant diagrams and a brief glossary.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCoverage includes athletic performance, apoptosis and the immune system.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKey historical developments are included to show how modern biochemistry has evolved.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy linking biochemistry, medical education and clinical practice this book will prove invaluable to students in medical and health sciences, biomedical science and human biology taking an introductory biochemistry course. In addition it will appeal to biochemistry and biology students interested in clinical applications of biochemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073896399088,"sku":"9781119965244","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781119965244_p0.jpg?v=1763697255","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781119965244","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
