riveting. I wasn't sure how the glucose molecule would turn out - would it oxidized to lactate? Would it be stored as glycogen?

Because I wanted to have a more intensive review, I decided to read this book in its entirety. Not only is the book replete with great illustrations, it also presents what one needs to know about medical biochemistry in a concise and easily understandable way. It's a highly recommended reviewer for medical students and medical doctors.

كتاب سيء جداً وأعطيته الكثير من الفرص لكنه في كل مرة يخيب الأمل فيه.
باختصار لو تبي رأيي خذ الصور التي فيه والميكانيزمات والباقي أحرق فيه.

أفضل كتاب لمادة الكيمياء الحيوية قرأته هو كتاب هندي

Książka bardzo się dłużyła, akcji prawie brak, dużo szczegółowych opisów które nie były potrzebne ale ogólna fabuła na 4

لو قال لي أحدهم قبل الدخول لكلية الطب، بأن هناك مادة اسمها البايوكيمستري وشرح لي محتوياتها لما صدقته

لأنني وحتى الآن بعد اكمالها أجد صعوبة كبيرة في تصديقها، هل تريد أن تخبرني أنكم على علم بكل العمليات الحيوية التي تقوم بها الخلية، ليس هذا فحسب بل بكل انزيماتها المُساعدة أيضا!

أنا آسفة لكن لا أصدق هذا الأمر، أحيانًا أشعر بأنني أدرس أشياء خيالية
لكن من ناحية أخرى أنا شخص يحب الخيال، بدأت تروق لي هذه الخيالات في السنة الأخيرة
أصبحت علاقتنا أنا والبايو أفضل، بدأت في فهمها والتعمق بها

أحب عندما يجتمع كُل شي في النهاية لتشكيل صُورة واحدة مفهومة
ويبدو أنه لا وجود للنهاية أبدًا، بغض النظر عن مقدار الأشياء التي ستحفظها سيكون هناك المزيد والمزيد

شُكرًا للأشخاص الذين جعلوني شخص أفضل في البايو
شُكرا نينجا نيرد و د. محمد القرقوري

ملاحظة: وعدت نفسي بتقييم كُل المراجع بنجمة واحدة، لكن لم أستطع، لذا أعتقد 3 نجمات ستفي بالغرض!

This book made me cry more than any man has, it even left me questioning my sanity and every life decision that lead up to this moment of forcefully picking it up and having to read it against my own will

De mis libros favoritos, muy bien explicado todo, bien organizado. Todas las imagenes resumen el texto y me encanta que tenga resumenes al final de cada capitulo.

Its a quick review on Metabolisms and critical and complex information. Of course a very fast read. I know its a 531 pages book, but i didnt need to know everything. Its just the quick review on what i already know. Very informative to a medical student, and not only med. student but to anyone whose interested in Learning Biochem. Perfect for both concise and foundational learning. Full color illustration, visually explains the bio chemical process. Takes you from classroom to the patient associating the fact from the real-world scenarios.

To my surprise 5th Editing in this a pdf. file. Would like to share the link for the students who are interested and continue learning on Biochem.
