Metabolic Derangements

Meaning

Significant, pathological disturbances in the normal biochemical processes that sustain life, encompassing the body’s ability to properly utilize and store energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. These derangements often manifest as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and visceral adiposity, collectively forming the core components of metabolic syndrome. Addressing these underlying dysfunctions is paramount in clinical practice for mitigating the long-term risk of cardiovascular disease, Type 2 Diabetes, and numerous hormone-related conditions.
