Metabolism refers to all the chemical reactions that take place within each cell and are essential for life. It involves many interconnected pathways that can be divided into anabolism and catabolism. Anabolism uses energy to synthesise sugars, fats, proteins and nucleic acids, whereas catabolism releases energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), alongside carbon dioxide, water and ammonia.
Over a billion people, about a quarter of the world's population, is now affected by MetS – characterised by abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension and hyperlipidemia; which can lead to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.
This Metabolics report describes how nutrients are absorbed and metabolised, and the genetic, nutrient and environmental factors that support metabolic flexibility or can lead to dysfunction. It provides six interconnected personalised pathways: Appetite Regulation, Nutrient Sensing, Sugar Metabolism, Fat Metabolism, Cholesterol and Bile, Mitochondria and Inflammation.
