Synopsis

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of metabolism, the sum of chemical reactions occurring within organisms. Metabolism is categorized into three processes: digestive hydrolysis, partial combustion of end products, and possible regeneration of end products into organism-specific substances like glycogen and body proteins. The author maintains that the end products of proteolysis often pass through a glucose stage, and discusses the potential for proteid synthesis and the destruction and elimination of proteids injected into the bloodstream. The significance of this book lies in its exploration of the complex interplay between proteolysis, combustion, and regeneration in the context of metabolism, providing valuable insights into the intricacies of this fundamental biological process.
