Hi
Can anyone recommend a book about metabolism? It should be addressed to medical schools students, biochemistry students, docs etc.

Thank you so much

Martin

An idea would be to go to some university you Admire online, and determine what is the current textbook they use for classes on Metabolism, assuming they teach such classes.

Now I want one. One of them is heavily illustrated and graphic- that might be good!

This one looks good to me: Metabolism at a Glance.

The description says "Metabolism at a Glance presents a concise, illustrated summary of metabolism in health and disease. This essential text is progressively appropriate for introductory through to advanced medical and biochemistry courses. It also provides a succinct review of inborn errors of metabolism, and reference for postgraduate medical practitioners and biomedical scientists who need a resource to quickly refresh their knowledge."

For @Rufous McKinney, classes on metabolism are typically called "Biochemistry" ;) and they are rites of passage for all medical students.
