Book Description
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: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
Customer Reviews:
great view of the big picture.......2007-01-05
Metabolism at a Glance helped me in an advanced metabolism class: it shows all the inter-relationships between the different metabolic pathways, and overall is very complete. I purchased it on recommendation by one of my professors. I imagine that this book will be helpful to anyone in fields such as nutrition, exercise physiology, biochemistry, and at the very least is a good companion to any graduate level biochemistry/physiology textbook or class. The text can be small despite the oversized nature of the book, but then again, there's not much that can be done to resolve that given the number of enzymes, substrates, etc. involved in these pathways. I highly recommend this book.
Is this good one to study biochemical pathway?.......2000-10-12
Actually, to memorize whole pathways of metabolisms is time-consuming work and easily worn out. So sometimes we think something good material connected the entire pathways should be needed. First of all, this book is hard to carry in your bag because this is over-sized shape, although the weight is light. Something to be desired is horrible pathways should be more inter-connected each other. Regulations on each pathway should be more added.
Excellent, Concise, and Thorough!.......1999-02-20
This large format book reveiws basic metabolism in an easy to understand manner. Specific segments of the metabolic pathway are summarized within two pages. Each face-page gives an overview of the entire metabolic pathway, with an outline of the specific topic discussed within that section. Far easier to comprehend than the metabolic pathways as described in those well known Biochemistry tomes, where the entire metabolic pathway is spread over 100 or so pages!
Superb diagrams; required reading for all biochem students.......1998-10-19
The above is adequate. I'm a biochemistry student and have no time for writing reviews :)
Metabolic pathways??? - Brilliant!.......1998-06-17
As a biochemistry student I found this book to be the perfect partner to Albert Lehninger's "Principles of Biochemistry". An excellent overall picture of how each pathway interacts with other metabolic components.

The Cardiovascular System at a Glance is a concise and accessible systems-based textbook. Updated throughout, the second edition uses an integrated approach to take the reader through the basic anatomy, physiology, histology, biochemistry, pathophysiology, and clinical aspects of the cardiovascular system.

Four clinical case studies at the end of the book reinforce the integrated systems-based approach to this subject. Additionally, two new chapters covering Revascularisation as well as Emerging Concepts and Treatments have been included.The second edition of The Cardiovascular System at a Glance is an ideal resource for medical students, whilst students of other health professions and specialist cardiology nurses will also find it invaluable.

I found the book to be very helpful. It provides a simplified but very in depth look at various renal processes/topics. I used it a lot in my graduate renal physiology class.
