Hormones control everything from sugar metabolism (diabetes), to sexual maturation (estrogen and testosterone), to bone density and growth (BMPs), but how these key chemicals control cells is often misunderstood. This guide will explain these topics in molecular detail for everyone interested in nutrition, molecular biology, medicine, and health. Sections include Enzymes & Enzyme Regulation, Energetics & Metabolic Pathways, Hormones, Membranes & Signaling, and Replication & Central Dogma. 6-page laminated guide includes: Enzymes & Enzyme Regulation Enzyme Terms Catalytic Models Drugs & Inhibition Enzyme Regulation Vitamins & Minerals Energetics & Metabolic Pathways ATP Reduction & Oxidation Oxidation of Glucose Gluconeogenesis 5-Carbon Sugar Biosynthesis Lipid Metabolism & Fatty Acid Biosynthesis A
