Biochemical Aspects of Metabolic Disorders

Biochemical Aspects of Metabolic Disorders offers a comprehensive exploration of the intricate biochemical mechanisms and/or pathways underlying a wide array of metabolic disorders. From the genetic basis of inherited metabolic conditions to the environmental factors impacting metabolic dysregulation, each chapter investigates the molecular insights essential for understanding and managing these complex diseases. Covering topics such as carbohydrate and lipid metabolism disorders, amino acid catabolism, hepatic and renal metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, pediatric obesity, and diagnostic approaches, this book will serve as a requisite resource for researchers, clinicians, and students alike looking for unravel the biochemical intricacies of metabolic disorders.

- Offers detailed molecular insight into the biochemical mechanisms and/or pathways involved in metabolic disorders, helping readers understand the underlying mechanisms driving disease pathogenesis
- Includes diagnostic algorithms and therapeutic approaches, enabling readers to apply biochemical knowledge to real-world clinical scenarios

Dr. Akash is currently working as an Associate Professor at the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Government College University Faisalabad, Pakistan. He got his PhD degree in Pharmaceutical Analysis from Zhejiang University, China. Currently, he is focusing on investigating the effect of endocrine disruptingchemicals on various molecular and metabolic pathways that are involved in metabolic disorders and their treatment strategies. His research work is cutting-edge and worthy of extension in developing countries, like Pakistan, where it can be most beneficial and cost-effective, especially for diabetic patients. Based on his significant scientific contributions inthe field of Pharmaceutical Sciences, he has been awarded "Research Productivity Awards from the Pakistan Council for Science and Technology, the PAS Gold Medal from the Pakistan Academy of Sciences, and the A.R. Shakoori Gold Medal from the Zoological Society of Pakistan.Dr. Kanwal Rehman is working as an Associate Professor at the Department of Pharmacy in The Women University, Multan, Pakistan. Dr. Rehman received her PhD in Pharmacology from Zhejiang University, China. She nurturesa keen interest in the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders and new therapeutic modalities for its treatment. Currently, sheis focusing on the investigation of the role of pharmacogenomics based upon gene polymorphism on various molecular andmetabolic pathways that are involved in mitogenic disorders and treatment strategies, like natural biogenic compounds against different risk factors of metabolic disorders, including pancreatitis, cardiometabolic disorders, and hormonal imbalance. Dr. Rehman has also been awarded the Research Productivity Award by the Pakistan Council for Science and Technology, Pakistan; the PAS Gold Medal from the Pakistan Academy of Sciences; and the A.R. Shakoori Gold Medal from the Zoological Society of Pakistan.
