Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This book organizes information in a framework appropriate for medical students. It presents important events and concepts in the context of their biological function rather than as chemical entities. It features useful two-colour illustrations that focus on mechanisms rather than chemical structures. The primary focus of the book is to foster an understanding of the events and processes that are occurring at both the molecular and macro levels of physiologic regulation, clinical effects, and interactions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Textbook, December 26, 2001
By Jeremy Reeves (Memphis, TN United States) - See all my reviews
The author, Dr. Meisenberg, actually teaches Biochemistry at the medical school I attend. I found the text very well formatted and the illustrations extremely helpful. I personally read this book from cover to cover and along with the BRS, I think Biochemistry doesn't have to be a painful experience. Meisenberg integrates metabolism and other important subjects into several chapters to re-emphasize key points over and over. Many elaborate illustrations and graphs make learning hard to remember facts easier, and with the help of pertinent biochemical clinical facts you'll soon find relevance in a clinical setting far from the classroom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great MEDICAL Biochemistry Textbook, May 9, 2007
This review is from: Principles of Medical Biochemistry: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access (Paperback)
This book is designed to educate medical students. It is easy and if you do the questions at the end of the chapters it helps you have a sound foundation of medical biochemistry. It is CLINICALLY oriented!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so great, September 21, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Principles of Medical Biochemistry: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access (Paperback)
This book was required for my biochem. course and I would not recommend it for someone who it learning the information for the first time or who has not had a biochemistry course. It is highly condensed and would probably be great if studying for the USMLE, COMLEX etc b/c it is more of a review. A lot of details that are needed to understand the basic concepts are left out.
