Textbook of Medical Biochemistry

It is a great pleasure to present the Eighth Edition of Textbook of Medical Biochemistry to our beloved teachers and students. The main framework of the book has been retained, without much changes, new additions have been made, some portions rewritten in certain chapters. Few teachers wanted that the university question types and MCQs be added at the end of each chapter which were in existence in first three editions but later removed to reduce pages. To quote, "I suggest that short type of questions and multiple choice questions should be included at the end of each chapter in future edition of the book." We have included the same in the topics pertaining to MBBS. We feel confident that this edition will fulfil the requirement of the undergraduate students as per MCI recommendations and also meet the needs and expectations of postgraduate students of Biochemistry. As the book is clinically oriented, it will be of much help to PG students of other disciplines, viz. Pathology/medicine/pediatrics, etc.
