Metabolic Regulation in Mammals

Metabolic Regulation in Mammals presents the basic principles of metabolic control, based on investigations conducted during the past 20 years. It explains the impact of recent advances in cell biology, molecular biology, and genetics on the field. This text covers all angles of metabolic regulation, including blood caloric homeostasis, cardiac and skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and liver metabolism. Review questions, summary sections, and worked examples help break down the complexity of the subject, and details of metabolic pathways are provided for each body system, along with accompanying charts. This text is ideal for undergraduates in biological and health science disciplines.
