Preface
revising a text geared primarily toward medical students, the authors always struggle with new advances in biochemistry and whether such advances should be included in the text. In this text, the authors include only advances that will enable the student to better relate biochemistry to medicine, and future diagnostic tools. Although providing incomplete, but exciting, advances to graduate students is best for their education, medical students require a more directed approach, one that emphasizes how biochemistry is useful for the practice of medicine. This is a major goal of this book
Introduction
we will provide an overview of various types of dietary components and examples of the pathways involved in using these components. We will describe the fuels in our diet, the compounds produced by their digestion, and the basic patterns of fuel metabolism in the tissues of our bodies. We will describe how these patterns change when we eat, when we fast for a short time, and when we starve for prolonged periods. Patients with medical problems that involve an inability to deal normally with fuels will be introduced. These patients will appear repeatedly throughout the book and will be joined by other patients as we delve deeper into biochemistry. In order for students to be able to remember the patients as they progress through the book, the patients have been given names that reflect their condition. This is not meant to demean the patient or the condition, but rather, to allow the student to better follow the progress of the patient throughout the book
