The study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms is known as Biochemistry. This may sometimes be called as Biological chemistry. The complexity of life can be explained using various biochemical processes.

Biochemistry a sub discipline of both biology and chemistry can be divided in three fields; molecular genetics, protein science and metabolism. Over the last decades of the 20th century, biochemistry has become successful in explaining these processes in the living organisms. Biochemical methodology and research covers and develops almost all the areas of life sciences. Understanding of how biological molecules give rise to the processes which occur within living cells and between cells is mainly focused by biochemistry. The study and understanding of tissues, organs, and organism structure and function is also greatly related to biochemistry.

Applications of Bio chemistry in Medicine

Biochemistry study is almost related to the medicine industry. In the improvement in the medicine, the concept of Biochemistry is widely used. Some of the applications of biochemistry in the medicine field include:

1. Physiology

To fully understand the physiology of human body, biochemistry is of great importance to scientists. The biochemical changes occurred in the human body can be understood by scientists using the concept of biochemistry. Disease curing based on the biochemical changes in the body have been lead to develop the best medicine for specific diseases. The working of organs and systems within the body is checked by physiology. How the organs communicate, and how they combine their efforts to make conditions favorable for survival is explained by physiology. Scientists in this field can focus on anything from microscopic organelles in cell physiology. They also focus on wide-ranging topics, such as Eco physiology, which deals with whole organisms and how they adapt to environments. The understanding of the components of our body, their way of communication, and how they keep us alive is improved with the help of physiological research.

Edelweiss Publications review process is done by their active editorial board members only, which help in reducing the timeline for publishing the manuscript after submission.

2. Pathology

Pathology also involves the study of biochemistry. It is usually the study of diseases. Based on the symptoms described, the physician may get the information about the biochemical changes in the patient’s body. The chemical reactions or processes in the body are examined to confirm the patient’s symptoms by the physician. For example, examining the uric acid levels in the body to understand the patient’s symptoms. The term "pathology" is derived from the Greek words "pathos" which means "disease" and "logos" means "a treatise" = a treatise of disease. A pathologist is a medical doctor who is specialized in pathology. The microscopic views of body tissues are detected by experts called pathologists.

Edelweiss Publications Inc is a USA based publisher and journal of Biochemistry and modern applications is part of Edelweiss Publications Inc.

3. Nutritional Deficiency

Good nutrition is really important to have a healthy life. Hence less intake of nutrients or nutritional food leads to various diseases. Nutritional deficiency is also called as malnutrition. Multi vitamins and minerals are consumed by people nowadays to keep them healthy. Scientists use biochemistry as a discipline to formulate the best composition of multi vitamins and minerals. The study of biochemistry helps us to understand the function of vitamins and minerals in our body.

Body development and prevention of diseases requires many different vitamins and minerals. These vitamins and minerals are often known to as micronutrients. These micronutrients are not naturally produced in the body and hence to be taken in the form of diet. Necessary amount of nutrients if not absorbed from the food may lead to a nutritional deficiency. A variety of health problems can be caused due to deficiency of nutrients. Amount of nutrients to be consumed depends on your age.

Edelweiss Publications has a rapid review process, it tries to publish the manuscript within 4-6 weeks of time after submission.

4. Hormonal Deficiency

Hormonal imbalance, can lead to many diseases both in men and women and also in the children. Physicians use the concept of biochemistry to understand about the hormones, their functions and reactions in the human body. Proper medicine can be developed to treat hormonal imbalance using this study. Hormones are called body’s chemical messengers. Hormones are produced in the endocrine glands these chemicals travel along your bloodstream informing tissues and organs what to do. Many of your body’s major processes, including metabolism and reproduction are controlled by hormones. In hormonal imbalance, either you have too much or too little of a certain hormone. Even tiny changes can have serious effects throughout your whole body can be seen with little changes in the hormones. Some of the hormones levels fluctuate throughout your life which may be the result of aging some hormonal changes occur when the endocrine gland gets wrong signal.

Research/review/case reports can be submitted towards Edelweiss Publication journal Biochemistry and modern applications Open Access.

Applications of biochemistry in medical treatment

Nursing discipline also involves the use of Biochemistry. To monitor the progress of patients regularly in the hospital, biochemistry can be used. The best treatment to the patients based on their conditions can be developed using biochemistry. The diagnosis of clinical conditions of the patients is made easier to the nurses using biochemistry. These are some other possible applications of biochemistry:

1. Kidney Function Test

The kidney function is related to the biochemistry study. If there is any problem in the kidney, you may undergo the urine test. This urine test helps us to detect the change in PH, color of the urine or other matters in the urine. The fundamental study that covers this kind of treatment is Biochemistry.

2. Blood Test

Biochemistry study is also involved in the concept of blood test. The patient’s condition is understood by the analytical test for blood glucose. For example, in the diabetes patient, the stages of the diabetes can be indicated by this kind of test. There are also other tests for diabetic patients known as the ketones bodies in urine test. The last stage of diabetes is indicated by ketone bodies or ketone urea. These kinds of substances in the urine can be tested by the study of biochemistry.

3. Liver Function Tests

The study of liver can also be understood using biochemistry. Biochemistry helps us to understand how the liver function of liver, the type of disorder which is likely to affect liver and the effect of certain medicines to the liver can be understood with the help of biochemistry.

4. Serum Cholesterol Test

Biochemistry can be used to check the cholesterol levels in the blood. Your health condition can be indicated by the cholesterol and other lipoproteins in the blood.

5. Pregnancy Test

The presence of HCG or human chorionic gonadotropin hormone indicates pregnancy. As soon as the implantation of embryo into the uterine walls this type of hormone is made by the placenta. The urine or blood sample detects the presence or absence of this hormone. Thanks to biochemistry to help us discover this hormone.

6. Ames Test

The test applied to Salmonella bacteria is Ames test. The growth of the bacteria in the body is detected or measured by this test. The mutation of the DNA structure by bacteria can be understood and screened with the help of certain chemicals. The indication of cancer potential in our body based on chemical reactions can also be tested.

7. Breast Cancer Screening

The mutations in two genes consisting of Breast Cancer-1 gene (BRCA1) and the Breast Cancer-2 gene (BRCA2) is examined by conducting breast cancer screening. This examination can be conducted with the help of biochemistry concept.

8. PKU Test

metabolic disease in which the individual is missing an enzyme named phenylalanine hydroxylase which is known as PKU or Phenylketonuria. Mental retardation can occur which is due to the absence of this enzyme.
