Enzymes in Blood Plasma

Abstract

Enzymes in Blood Plasma gives a comprehensive account of the current state of research and practical application of biochemistry and biology, as well as the pathology and clinical aspects of plasma enzymes. Enzymes in blood plasma, for reasons of principle and methods, are not limited to plasma-specific enzymes, which are only briefly mentioned. Emphasis will rather be placed on plasma-nonspecific enzymes, i.e., enzymes of identical properties in plasma and serum. Their action is, for technical reasons, generally determined in serum. The enzymes in plasma will be stressed in this presentation, Front Cover; Enzymes in Blood Plasma; Copyright Page ; PREFACE TO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDITION; ABBREVIATIONS; Table of Contents; CHAPTER 1.
