EXCELLENT USMLE BOARD REVIEW!Emphasizes the metabolic pathways (carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids) and their diseases. For medical students and other health professionals. Includes a large color map of "Biochemistry Land" (an amusement park in which clinical biochemistry can be visualized as a whole). Medical students often complain that their biochemistry courses do not focus on clinical relevance. This book, while not a reference book or a dissertation on all aspects of biochemistry, selects the most clinically relevant material that every clinician should know, and presents it in a way that enables the student to quickly see the subject as a conceptual whole. For biochemistry courses.
