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.
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 Boston University course teaches biochemical concepts online,
covering the fundamentals of chemistry, biology, and related disciplines. Key
areas include major molecular components of life, thermodynamics, proteins,
enzymes, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates. The course also elucidates
the functions of vitamins and coenzymes in metabolism. It interlinks various
scientific fields with biochemical principles and their applications in medicine
and research. Thus, this makes it an important resource for those aspiring to be
professional biochemists.
This PDF by K.K. Wagh Agricultural College, Nashik, has
focused the most critical topics in biochemistry related to the structure and
function of organelles in a plant cell, biomolecules, carbohydrates, nucleic
acids, and lipids. It includes discussion topics like proteins, amino acids, and
biochemical energetics related to the functions of living organisms. Developing
the molecular constituents considered significant for life, these notes have
been prepared as a basic text that will help increase the understanding of
biochemical processes together with their applications in agriculture and
biological sciences.
