Description 1 online resource (xxvii, 669 pages) : illustrations (chiefly color) Contents Part I -- The molecules of life -- Introduction: Life is made of molecules! -- The chemistry and physics of life -- The families of biological molecules -- Part II -- The interplay and regulation of metabolism -- Introduction to metabolism -- The regulation of metabolism -- Energy conservation in metabolism: the mechanisms of ATP synthesis -- Catabolism of the major biomolecules -- Metabolic responses to hyperglycemia -- Regulation and integration of metabolism during hypoglycemia -- Regulation and integration of metabolism during physical activity -- Control of body weight and the modern metabolic diseases Summary "This book covers in detail the mechanisms for how energy is managed in the human body. The basic principles that elucidate the reactivity and physical interactions of matter are addressed and quantified with simple approaches. Three-dimensional representations of molecules are presented throughout the book so molecules can be viewed as unique entities in their shape and function. The book is focused on the molecular mechanisms of cellular processes in the context of human physiological situations such as fasting, feeding and physical exercise, in which metabolic regulation is highlighted. Furthermore the book uses key historical experiments that opened up new concepts in biochemistry to further illustrate how the human body functions at molecular level, helping students to appreciate how scientific knowledge emerges"--Publisher's description Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from resource home page (ProQuest Ebook Central, January 13, 2022) In Springer Nature eBook Subject Clinical biochemistry.
