This book by KV Aleksandrova delves into
the intricacies of hormone biochemistry, mechanisms, and types. The book covers
peptide hormones, pancreas hormones, pituitary hormones, parathyroid secretions,
derivatives of amino acids, thyroid hormones, hormones of adrenal medulla, and
steroid hormones, focusing on biological importance and the regulatory function
in the body. The text of the book is a rich source of knowledge on the influence
of hormones on physiological processes and also their impact upon health and
disease, so it is an essential resource for students as well as professionals in
the fields of biochemistry and related disciplines.
This extensive
PDF by Charles University addresses pertinent questions with regard to clinical
biochemistry, covering the influence of pre-analytical factors on the situation
within laboratory examinations and the determination of reference values. It
comprises analytical properties, quality control, and diagnostic sensitivity in
a broad range of tests-from kidney function to plasma proteins and assays for
electrolytes. The book deals with the metabolic functions of calcium,
phosphorus, magnesium, and trace elements and emphasizes thyroid and adrenal
hormones. Additional topics discussed include acid-base disorders, lipids in
blood serum, and their significance for atherosclerosis and free radicals.
Authored by Rodrigo Valenzuela Baez, this book gives a general
view of contemporary research related to lipid metabolism. All international
authors' contributions are collected to discuss the latest findings and trends
in lipid biology. The text discusses various topics concerning the metabolic
pathways, regulatory mechanisms, and implications of lipid biology for health
and disease. Opening new avenues of research as well as encouraging new ways of
understanding lipid function and metabolism, it is indeed a treasure trove for
the researcher and student seeking to pursue in-depth knowledge of lipid
biochemistry.
This
educational note from Annamalai University deals with the basic concepts in
biochemistry: carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, nucleic acids, lipoproteins,
and lipid metabolism. It stresses biological properties of proteins, metabolic
pathways by fats and proteins, and functions of enzymes. The material structured
in understanding biomolecules will explain the significant principles of
biochemistry and how the principles are applicable in biological systems. This
book resource is apt for the beginner biochemistry student; it is simply so
solid and foundational that once grasped, the concepts can take students further
in the field.
