BIOCHEMISTRY BLOCK 3

Block-3 Biochemistry focuses on digestion and absorption, lipid and nitrogen metabolism, and acid–base balance with buffer systems.
It integrates endocrine biochemistry: hormone classification, synthesis, receptors, second messengers, and metabolic actions.
Core topics include urea cycle, amino-acid metabolism, cholesterol/lipoproteins, ketone bodies, and electrolyte regulation.
Clinical correlation is reinforced through lab investigations (glucose, lipids, bilirubin, enzymes) and biochemical basis of disease.
