In the fifth edition, authors David Nelson and Michael Cox combine the best of the laboratory and best of the classroom, introducing exciting new developments while communicating basic principles through a variety of new learning tools - from new in-text worked examples to data analysis problems. The fifth edition has been updated to include major advances in biochemistry, new biochemical methods, more medically relevant examples, and a focus on understanding metabolism through obesity and diabetes. The book is accompanied by a Companion Website offering a study, lecture and presentation tools, as well as a full range of student and lecturer supplements.
