Metabolic Pathways

Meaning

Metabolic Pathways are sequences of chemical reactions occurring within a cell that convert one molecule into another, essential for sustaining life and energy production. In hormonal health, these pathways dictate how nutrients are transformed into precursors for steroid hormones or how energy substrates are utilized. Disruptions in these routes often manifest as endocrine imbalances or altered body composition. Understanding these routes is fundamental to managing physiological adaptation.
