Animal Biochemistry offers a comprehensive overview of the biochemical processes that are the foundation of animal physiology. The book provides insights into how animals utilize various molecules and pathways to maintain their physiological functions by delving into the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. This is accomplished by examining the metabolism of these substances. As an additional point of interest, the book sheds light on how animals coordinate their metabolic responses in order to adapt to changing environmental conditions by examining the regulation of metabolic pathways. In addition, this book also helpful for clinical diagnosis of different diseases on the basis of biochemical parameters. Students and researchers who are interested in understanding the biochemical basis of animal physiology will find Animal Biochemistry to be an invaluable resource because of the book's in-depth examination of the aforementioned topics.
