Basic Medical Biochemistry

Now in its second edition, Basic Medical Biochemistry continues to provide a unique clinically based approach that is perfect for medical students. Patient vignettes throughout the book emphasize the importance of biochemistry to medicine. Patients have unique and humorous names that serve as mnemonics to help students remember the vignettes. Pathways are also emphasized and are described in relation to the body's overall physiologic functions. The result is a clear, clinically oriented, and easy-to-read text that helps medical students understand the all-important role the patient plays in the study of biochemistry.
