INTEGRATION AND CONTROL OF METABOLISM

About the Book

Fully understanding the complex process of the integration and control of metabolism in cellular organisms requires knowledge in several fundamental concepts. Drawing on nearly two decades of innovative studies, Doctors Naa Adamafio, Laud Okine, and Jonathan Adjimani specifically target the intricacies of metabolism and provide a comprehensive approach to the subject.

The text is divided into three essential areas of study:

• Fundamentals of metabolic control-dealing with the basic concepts of metabolic control and the role played by regulatory enzymes
• Control of cellular metabolism-including the regulation of the metabolism of major biomolecules, such as carbohydrates, lipids, and compounds containing nitrogen
• The integration of metabolism-observing the methods in which various metabolic pathways within and between tissues and organs are integrated

Whether you are an undergraduate student in biochemistry, a medical student in your preclinical years, or a teacher in the subject area, Integration and Control of Metabolism is a valuable medical resource.
