Publisher's Synopsis
Metabolism and Practical Medicine: V1, The Physiology of Metabolism by Carl Von Noorden is a comprehensive guide to the study of metabolism and its practical applications in the field of medicine. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of metabolism, including the chemical reactions that occur in the body, the role of enzymes, and the regulation of metabolism. The author provides a detailed explanation of the various metabolic pathways that take place in the body, including carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism. He also discusses the importance of hormones in regulating metabolism, as well as the role of the liver and other organs in maintaining metabolic balance. In addition to the theoretical aspects of metabolism, the book also emphasizes its practical applications in the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions. The author provides examples of how changes in metabolism can be used to diagnose diseases such as diabetes and liver disease, and how drugs can be used to modulate metabolic pathways in order to treat these conditions. Overall, Metabolism and Practical Medicine: V1, The Physiology of Metabolism is an invaluable resource for medical students, researchers, and practitioners who are interested in understanding the complex processes that govern metabolism and its role in health and disease.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
