Cellular Energy Metabolism

Meaning

Cellular Energy Metabolism describes the entire network of biochemical reactions occurring within a cell that are dedicated to generating, storing, and utilizing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of the body. This fundamental physiological process is critical for maintaining all life-sustaining functions, including hormone synthesis, neural signaling, and tissue repair. Optimal hormonal health is inextricably linked to efficient metabolic function, particularly within the mitochondria.
