Carbohydrate metabolism involves pathways like glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and glycogen storage, playing a key role in maintaining blood glucose levels. Dysregulation can result in diabetes and other metabolic disorders. This book examines the biochemistry of carbohydrate metabolism and its implications for health. It links these processes to diseases like diabetes and hypoglycemia, offering insights into diagnostic methods and therapeutic options. The text emphasizes the importance of diet and exercise in managing carbohydrate metabolism.
