Description
Understanding Human Metabolism by Keith N. Frayn This concise guide to human metabolism dispels common misconceptions and explains the important metabolic processes that underlie our daily lives. Illustrated with clear diagrams, Frayn describes how our organs and tissues communicate to cooperate in providing fuel to our muscles when we exercise and preserving our tissues during fasting. The book explores the impressive adaptability of human metabolism and discusses the metabolic disorders that can arise when metabolism 'goes wrong'. For anyone looking for a clear understanding of what metabolism really involves, this book provides a straightforward and accessible explanation. With its focus on everyday language and practical applications, Understanding Human Metabolism is an ideal resource for those seeking to understand how their bodies work.
