Animal Chemistry Or Organic Chemistry In Its Application To Physiology And Pathology - Justus Liebig - Bog

Animal Chemistry, also known as Organic Chemistry in its Application to Physiology and Pathology, is a book written by Justus Liebig, a German chemist and pioneer in the field of organic chemistry. Published in 1842, the book explores the chemical processes that occur in living organisms, focusing on the chemical composition of animal tissues and the role of organic compounds in the functioning of the body.Liebig's work was groundbreaking in its application of chemical principles to the study of physiology and pathology, and it helped to establish the field of biochemistry. In the book, Liebig discusses the chemical structure of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, as well as the role of enzymes and other organic compounds in metabolic processes.Animal Chemistry also touches on the relationship between diet and health, exploring the chemical composition of various foods and their effects on the body. Liebig argues that a balanced diet is essential for maintaining good health, and he provides recommendations for dietary intake based on his chemical analysis of food.Overall, Animal Chemistry is a seminal work in the history of biochemistry and a fascinating exploration of the chemical processes that underlie life. It remains an important reference for anyone interested in the intersection of chemistry and biology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
