Reviews
"What distinguishes this book form some others is the thoroughness and breadth of its treatment of subjects, its authority, its academic approach, and the sense of excitement that it engenders." ( Annals of Biomedical Engineering , June 2006) "...is true to the fundamentals and recent developments in metabolic research and points the way to future, deeper convergence of metabolism and genetics." (A merican Journal of Human Biology , July/August 2005) "...this book offers a wide menu of interesting biology...it is a highly recommended read for anyone interested in integrative biology." ( Clinical Biochemistry , June 2005) "Storey and other contributors...have created an exceptional volume, looking at this process and its effect on living beings." ( E-STREAMS , April 2005) "...valuable reading for students and researchers alike. It established an essential integrative and comparative mentality...and is an encyclopedic source for researchers..." (T he Journal of Experimental Biology , March 2005)

Synopsis
In the post-genome era, questions concerning gene products, enzymes, and metabolism are returning to the forefront of life science research. Genetic information on its own does not fully account for an enzyme's kinetic and regulatory properties or for the behavior of the enzymes within its particular cellular milieu. Unanswered questions about the regulation, integration, and adaptation of metabolism have led to a resurgence of interest in protein, enzymological, and metabolic research for understanding biological processes. Functional Metabolism: Regulation and Adaptation provides a comprehensive survey of metabolism. It includes an in-depth examination of the regulation of carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids, and approaches to the study of enzyme regulation, signal transduction, and control of transcription and translation. The contributors an internationally recognized group of researchers also cover: The metabolic basis of diabetes, obesity, and blood disorders Oxidative stress and antioxidant defenses in health and disease Novel perspectives on biochemical adaptation to environmental stress Application of metabolic knowledge to developments in organ preservation and understanding the origin of life From the basics of metabolic regulation and adaptation to the latest relevant advances in the genetic, proteomic, and enzymatic basis of how cells regulate their functions, Functional Metabolism: Regulation and Adaptation offers the most exhaustive treatment of the subject currently available. It is an essential text for students and practitioners in biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, and biomedicine., Functional Metabolism of Cells provides the first comprehensive survey of metabolism, offering an in-depth examination of metabolism and regulation of carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids., Functional Metabolism of Cells is the first comprehensive survey of metabolism, offering an in-depth examination of metabolism and regulation of carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids. It provides a basic background on metabolic regulation and adaptation as well as the chemical logic of metabolism, and covers the interrelationship of metabolism to life processes of the whole organism. The book lays out a structured approach to the metabolic basis of disease, including discussion of the normal pathways of metabolism, altered pathways leading to disease, and use of molecular genetics in diagnosis and treatment of disease. It also takes a unique comparative approach in which human metabolism is a reference for metabolism in microorganisms and plant design, and presents novel coverage of development and aging, and human health and animal adaptation. The final chapter reviews the past and future promise of new genetic approaches to treatment and bioinformatics. This, the most exhaustive treatment of metabolism currently available, is a useful text for advanced undergraduates and graduates in biochemistry, cell/molecular biology, and biomedicine, as well as biochemistry instructors and investigators in related fields.

    SO UNBELIEVABLY SATISFIED WITH THIS SELLER They made sure the TV was in clean/working condition, answered any questions I had promptly and in great detail, shipped this package FAST and it was almost comical how much care he put into making sure there would be absolutely no damage when I got it lol im talking about 30 or so different types of fragile stickers, inflating packing foam so it didnt move an inch, taped everything up nicely, everything came as described. Absolutely worth the money
