Overview

Metabolic disorders are conditions in which the body's normal chemical processes for converting food into energy and building, maintaining, or breaking down tissues are disrupted. Metabolism encompasses the enzyme-driven reactions that handle carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and other nutrients, and when one of these pathways is impaired, substances the body needs may be produced in the wrong amounts or harmful intermediates may accumulate. Such disorders include inherited enzyme deficiencies as well as acquired conditions such as those linked to obesity, insulin resistance, and abnormal blood lipids. They can affect people of any age and may involve the liver, blood vessels, hormones, and many other systems. Research relevant to this topic addresses the mechanisms and management of metabolic dysfunction, including studies on the molecular and metabolic pathogenesis of familial combined hyperlipidemia and its association with metabolic syndrome, the role of amino acids and their derivatives in liver disease, dietary and lifestyle interventions that reduce cardio-metabolic risk factors, and metabolomic approaches to type 2 diabetes mellitus. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to metabolic disorders and the broader study of how disrupted metabolism contributes to vascular and systemic disease.
