Energy production involves intricate biochemical pathways that convert nutrients into ATP, the energy currency of the cell. These processes are critical for maintaining cellular functions and organismal health. This book explores the major metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. It links these pathways to disorders like mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic syndrome. By incorporating diagrams and case studies, the text makes complex processes accessible. The book also highlights therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring metabolic balance in disease conditions.
