Glycobiology and Human Diseases

This book discusses glycobiology and various forms of human diseases, which are addressed in a sequence of seventeen chapters written by experts in the several fields.
The book :

• Provides comprehensive glycobiology data
• Relates glycobiology to diseases
• Discusses the involvement of metabolic pathways with carbohydrates
• Suggests comprehensive methods for correction of metabolic disorders.
