Publisher's Synopsis
A Textbook of Medical Chemistry and Toxicology is a comprehensive guide to the chemical and toxicological principles that underlie the practice of medicine. Written by James W. Holland, a renowned expert in the field, this book covers a wide range of topics, including the chemistry of drugs, the metabolism of drugs, the mechanisms of drug action, and the toxicology of drugs. It also provides an in-depth exploration of the chemical and toxicological aspects of various diseases and disorders, such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.The book is divided into four main sections. The first section covers the basic principles of medical chemistry, including the structure and function of molecules, the properties of solutions, and the principles of chemical equilibrium. The second section focuses on the chemistry of drugs, including the structure and function of drugs, the mechanisms of drug action, and the metabolism of drugs. The third section explores the toxicology of drugs, including the mechanisms of toxicity, the effects of drugs on different organ systems, and the treatment of drug toxicity. The final section covers the chemical and toxicological aspects of various diseases and disorders.Throughout the book, Holland provides clear and concise explanations of complex concepts, making it an accessible resource for students and professionals alike. The book also includes numerous illustrations and tables to help readers visualize key concepts and information. Overall, A Textbook of Medical Chemistry and Toxicology is an essential resource for anyone seeking a thorough understanding of the chemical and toxicological principles that underlie the practice of medicine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
