"This book presents a clear and precise discussion of the biochemist ry of eukaryotic cells, particularly those of mammalian tissues, relate s biochemical events at a cellular level to the subsequent physiologica l processes in the whole animal, and cites examples of abnormal biochem ical processes in human disease. The organization and content are tied together to provide students with the complete picture of biochemistry and how it relates to human diseases"--Provided by publisher.
