THE ROLE OF PHYTONUTRIENTS IN METABOLIC DISORDERS
Description
Metabolism is a process involving the transformation of metabolites, the
biochemical pathways in which this transformation takes place, and the
mechanisms that regulate metabolite flow in the pathways. Any disease
or disorder that disrupts normal metabolism, the process of converting
food into energy at the cellular level, is referred to as a metabolic disease.
Thousands of enzymes that participate in numerous interconnected metabolic pathways play a role in this process [1]. Metabolic diseases affect the
cell's ability to perform critical biochemical reactions involving the processing or transport of carbohydrates (sugars and starches), proteins (amino
acids), or lipids (fatty acids)
