Metabolic Pathway Modulation

Meaning

Metabolic Pathway Modulation is the clinical and physiological process of selectively adjusting the rate, direction, or flux of specific biochemical reactions that constitute the body’s vast metabolic pathways. This precise strategy is employed to correct imbalances in energy production, nutrient utilization, or waste elimination, particularly in the context of chronic metabolic diseases. Successful modulation is key to improving hormonal sensitivity and overall systemic health, for example, by shifting cellular substrate preference or enhancing insulin action.
