Summary: "Carbohydrates are a vital part not only of metabolism, but are implicated as key coding molecules in a host of subtle biological events. The exploration of the role and the manipulation of this wonderful class of molecules is an exciting and ever changing field. Biochemistry is essential for this purpose, but it would be almost impossible for a student to survey on his own the massive body of existing knowledge, constantly augmented by a remarkable torrent of brilliant discoveries. The purpose of the book, then is to organize our knowledge into something that can be comprehended in a relatively short time and still convey a reasonable complete picture of the chemical structure and function of man. Readability without sacrifice of coverage has been a prime goal. An important device in gaining that goal is to keep attention constantly focused on function, with repeated use of rationalization to show that the chemical facts are not isolated, but part of a whole. Disorders of carbohydrate metabolism occur in many forms. The most common disorders are acquired. Acquired or secondary derangements in carbohydrate metabolism, such as diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar coma, and hypoglycemia, all affect the central nervous system. Many forms and variants of peripheral nerve disease also are seen in diabetes. The remaining disorders of carbohydrate metabolism are in the rare inborn errors of metabolism (ie, genetic defects). The aim of this book is to present a core of biochemical knowledge that is desirable for students and also those involved in the field of medical, microbiology, biotechnology and pharmaceutical. Every attempt has been to keep abreast of the advances in the subject and at the same time to include the fundamentals."--Back cover
