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. Metabolism at a Glance uses the familiar "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
Introduction to metabolic pathways; Biosynthesis of ATP, part I. ATP: the molecule that powers metabolism; Biosynthesis of ATP, part II: 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+; The pyruvate/malate cycle 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 I; Catabolism of amino acids, part II; 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', part I: purine biosynthesis; Amino acid metabolism, folate metabolism, and the 'l-carbon pool', part II: pyramidine biosynthesis; Glycogen metabolism, part I; Glycogen metabolism, part II; Glycogen metabolism, part III: regulation of glycogen breakdown; Glycogen synthesis, part IV: regulation of glycogen synthesis (Glycogen metabolism, part IV: regulation of glycogen synthesis); Regulation of glycolysis; Regulation of Krebs cycle; Regulation of gluconeogenesis; Regulation of fatty acid oxidation, part I: mobilization of fatty acids from storage and adipose tissue; Regulation of fatty acid oxidation, part II: 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
