Metabolism is a complicated subject which is usually taught one pathway at a time. The result of this is that the detailed knowledge of each metabolic pathway which the student acquires is not seen as part of an overall picture. This book uses the "at a glance" approach to take the student through a complete course in metabolism in an integrated manner. A series of large two page spreads treat each metabolic process in turn. On every left-hand page throughout the book appears a complete metabolic chart, on which different pathways are higlighted in turn, with accompanying text and more diagrams on the right-hand pages.
Introduction to metabolic pathways: biosynthesis of ATP. Part 1 ATP: the molecule that powers metabolism; biosynthesis of ATP. Part 2 The respiratory chain, and inhibitors and uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation: the oxidation of cytosolic NADH+H= - the malate/aspartate shuttle, and the glycerol phosphate shuttle; metabolism of glucose to give energy; metabolism of one molecule of glucose to form 38 molecules of ATP; metabolism of glucose to glycogen; anaerobic metabolism of glucose and glycogen to yield energy as ATP; 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) and the red blood cell; metabolism of glucose to fat (triacylglycerol); metabolism of glucose to fatty acids and triacylglycerol; the pentose phosphate pathway and the production of NADPH+H+; mammals cannot synthesize glucose from fatty acids; metabolism of triacylglycerol to provide energy as ATP; the ornithine cycle for the production of urea - "the urea cycle"; biosynthesis of the non-essential amino acids; catabolism of amino acids. Part 3 Catabolism of amino acids; metabolism of amino acids to glucose in starvation and during the period immediately after refeeding; metabolism of protein to fat; disorders of amino acid metabolism; amino acid metabolism, folate metabolism, and the "l-carbon pool"; purine biosynthesis: amino acid metabolism, folate metabolism, and the "l-carbon pool"; pyramidine biosynthesis: glycogen metabolism; glycogen metabolism; glycogen metabolism; regulation of glycogen breakdown: glycogen synthesis; regulation of glycogen synthesis; regulation of glycolysis; regulation of the Krebs cycle; regulation of gluconeogenesis; regulation of fatty acid oxidation; mobilization of fatty acids from storage in adipose tissue; regulation of fatty acid oxidation; the carnitine shuttle; the ketone bodies; ketone body utilization; B-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids; peroxisomal B-oxidation; elongation and desaturation of fatty acids; metabolism of ethanol; sorbitol, galactitol, glucuronate and xylitol; fructose metabolism; biochemistry of diabetes.
