Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry: A Clinical Approach
Author:Michael Lieberman, Alisa Peet
Edition:5th Edition
Biochemical pathways are presented through a clinical lens, linking molecular processes to human physiology and disease. It emphasizes metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins while integrating gene expression, enzyme regulation, and hormonal control, helping explain how disruptions in these systems lead to medical conditions.
