The Evolution of Metabolic Function presents comprehensive discussions on a variety of topics that will interest scientists and students studying the evolution of enzyme activities, the evolution of enzymatic pathways, and the evolution and development of metabolic functions. Laboratory experiments designed to develop new enzyme activities and new metabolic pathways are discussed. The most recent techniques comparing protein and gene structures are used to analyze and discuss the evolution and development of such metabolic functions as the bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system, the mandelate pathway of microorganisms, bacterial alcohol metabolism, and certain microbial amino acid biosynthetic pathways. The book also includes some unique speculations regarding the origin of early Archaean cells and the prebiotic evolution of complex molecules.

This book describes how the liver executes and coordinates numerous physiological processes including metabolism, innate immunity, blood coagulation, bile secretion, and our symbiotic relation with the gut microbiome. It places the functions in clinical contexts, such as the pathogenesis of alcohol-related liver disease and metabolic (obesity) associated liver disease. It describes how in severe catabolic diseases such as cancer and sepsis, the liver redistributes bodily resources to increase chances of survival and recovery, and how the liver exemplifies many of the effects of diet and physical activity on health and wellbeing, via its regulation of glucose, lipid and cholesterol metabolism, and inflammation. The book is for professionals working in gastroenterology, hepatology, metabolic disorders, and many other medical disciplines, and for scientists and curious students of medicine, nutrition and biosciences.
