Riguardo questo articolo

Neuware - 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.

Informazioni sull?autore

Ken Storey?is a Professor in the Institute of Biochemistry at Carleton University and holds the Canada Research Chair in Molecular Physiology. His research focuses on the molecular adaptations that permit animals to survive severe environmental stresses and his work has explored the many intriguing ways that animals alter their metabolism, modify enzyme function, and regulate gene expression to endure deep cold, oxygen deprivation and water restriction, or meet the multiple demands of muscle exercise metabolism. The author of over 450 research publications and the editor of 5 other books, Dr. Storey has lectured on biochemical adaptation on every continent and has done research in places as diverse as the Amazon jungle and the Antarctic ice shelf. He has received multiple fellowships and awards and is an elected fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
