Metabolism of Human Diseases

The scientifi c community has increasingly recog-
nized metabolic alterations as being critical com-
ponents or even drivers of human disease.

Metabolism of Human Diseases discusses the
metabolism and signaling pathways in tissues and
organs known to be relevant for common human
diseases. It thus bridges the existing gap between
biochemistry and physiology textbooks, on the one
hand, and pathology textbooks, on the other hand.
Metabolism of Human Diseases is directed at
advanced students, doctors, and scientists from
all categories of life sciences and medicine (e.g.,

biochemists, biologists, physiologists, pharma-
cologists, pharmacists, toxicologists, and physi-
cians) with an interest in the metabolism and

molecular mechanisms of human diseases, irre-
spective of their specialization.
