Metabolism at a Glance is a complete review course of metabolism in health and disease and offers a unique approach to the study of this difficult discipline.Metabolism is a complicated subject involving complex molecules and interrelated pathways. These metabolic pathways are usually taught separately with the result that the student develops a detailed but compartmentalised approach to metabolism and frequently fails to see the overall picture and its physiological significance.Using the at a Glance format, the book takes the student through a complete course in intermediary metabolism in an integrated manner. The same chart is repeated throughout the book with the individual pathway under study highlighted.The book is an ideal text for introductory biochemistry courses and has established itself as an enormously popular book amongst lecturers and students alike. This third edition is fully updated and includes five new chapters to mirror those topics currently taught at undergraduate level:1. Metabolic Channelling2. Glucose homeostasis and Reye's Disease3. Pentose phosphate pathway and the prodcution of NADPH4. Tryptophan metabolism in health and disease5. Tyrosine metabolism in health and disease

Harperova biochemie podává stručný, avšak nezkreslený výklad principů biochemie a molekulární biologie. Poskytuje také četné příklady toho, že znalost biochemie je imperativem pro pochopení dějů potřebnými pro udržování zdraví a pro pochopení příčina racionálního léčení mnoha chorob, což jsou dvě hlavní oblasti zájmu lékařů a jiných zdravotnických pracovníků.
