Metabolic Consequences of Alcohol

Meaning

Metabolic Consequences of Alcohol refer to the wide-ranging and detrimental effects of ethanol consumption on the body’s intricate biochemical and hormonal regulatory systems. These consequences extend beyond hepatic damage to include significant disturbances in glucose homeostasis, lipid metabolism, and the balance of critical endocrine axes. Chronic heavy drinking can precipitate or exacerbate metabolic disorders, including insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and visceral adiposity.
