Browsing: Metabolism
Metabolism encompasses the complex network of chemical reactions that sustain life by converting food and other substances into energy and the building blocks needed for growth, repair, and maintenance. These processes are typically divided into two categories: catabolism, which breaks down molecules to release energy, and anabolism, which uses energy to build complex molecules. Metabolic research spans everything from understanding how cells regulate energy use to exploring the roots of metabolic disorders like diabetes and obesity. It also intersects with aging, exercise science, nutrition, and even cancer biology, offering critical insights into how our bodies function at a cellular and systemic level.
