I recommend using Acrobat to print out these pages. A link to Acrobat files (pdf files) can be found at the beginning of each section. This is perhaps time-consuming but results in good, edited manuscripts with all of the figures and with higher resolution than the html files.
If you do not already have Acrobat Reader you can download it gratis
by clicking on the Adobe icon.

Medbio.info in "book form".
March 2008: I have mounted an updated PDF collection containing most of the Medbio.info files. I have included sugars4kid as a "tail-hang". You can download it here. Use "bookmarks" to find points of interest. NB: The section concerning use of fructose by spermatozoa has been rewritten. Pluck it up at the September 2008 update (*).
Use "bookmarks" as a table of contents. You can also save a copy and add your own bookmarks. Medbio.info is under steady editing and additions come often. Check the "Updates" for new and revised chapters.
Updates:
April 2008. The section on muscle metabolism has been partially updated.. The acrobat file is here.
*September 2008. The section concerning "Carbohydrate Metabolism" has been corrected in regard to utilization of fructose by spermatozoa. Please pick up the corrected PDF file here.
December 2008 A "primer", Diabetes for All, An Introduction to Metabolism and Diabetes was mounted. This is aimed at the general public. Download the PDF file by clicking here.
May 2009 Another primer, You, Me and Energy has been mounted. Again, this is aimed at the general public. You can download the PDF file by clicking here.

This website uses "frames". Printing is faster using html than pdf files. To print a desired page, click somewhere in the text and then "print preview" in the browser banner. You should see the page you wish to print. If not, go to the window in the print preview page banner where you find the choices "as laid out on the screen", "all frames individually" and "only the selected frame". Choose the last possibility. You should now see the page you want. Click print. Figures are unfortunately "clipped" often here. Use Acrobat to get good copies.
You can also use the combination "Ctrl" + "P" on the keyboard to open a print dialog box where you can make these choices under "options".
