Metabolic Pathway Dysregulation

Meaning

Metabolic Pathway Dysregulation is a clinical term describing a persistent perturbation or failure in the highly sophisticated biochemical processes that govern the body’s use, storage, and production of energy from macronutrients like carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. This loss of metabolic plasticity is a core feature of chronic diseases, including Type 2 Diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular conditions. It signifies a fundamental breakdown in the cellular ability to adapt to varying nutritional states.
