Control of Body Weight and the Modern Metabolic DiseasesThe increase in the body weight in the world population has become one of the most important public health problems, as it is a major risk factor for several pathologies such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.

Introduction to Metabolismture, the whole set of molecules of a cell would interact physically and react chemically but would not spontaneously form a cell. Cells form and exist because the molecular events that create and maintain cells are highly ordered. The sequence and specific place of events and the flows of matter an

The Regulation of Metabolismsssed in the previous chapter that consecutive reactions can be driven through coupling favorable reactions to unfavorable reactions, many of those benefiting from the Δ.. of ATP hydrolysis. Synthesizing ATP involves using energy associated to the chemical processing of nutrients or dedicated molecul

Energy Conservation in Metabolism: The Mechanisms of ATP Synthesis be performed. This can be illustrated by several examples, such as the conversion of the energy of light into chemical energy in photosynthetic organisms or the chemical energy into mechanical energy in muscle contraction. Also, virtually all the cells need to use chemical energy to transport ions

Metabolic Responses to Hyperglycemia: Regulation and Integration of Metabolism in the Absorptive Stal is generally composed of 45–65 % carbohydrates, 20–35 % lipids, and 10–30 % protein. After ingestion, these nutrients are broken down into smaller molecules, which are subsequently absorbed and metabolized (see Chap. 7).

These hormones, in a coordinated action, regulate the energy metabolism in different organs, allowing the blood concentration of glucose to be maintained within a narrow range by a precise system balancing glucose productio
