cukoranyagcserét
Cukoranyagcsere, often translated as carbohydrate metabolism or sugar metabolism, refers to the biochemical processes involved in the breakdown, synthesis, and utilization of carbohydrates within living organisms. Carbohydrates are a primary source of energy, and their metabolism is tightly regulated to maintain stable blood glucose levels. The most central carbohydrate involved is glucose.
Key processes within sugar metabolism include glycolysis, the initial breakdown of glucose into pyruvate, yielding a
Gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors like amino acids and lactate, primarily occurring
Hormones like insulin and glucagon play critical roles in regulating sugar metabolism. Insulin lowers blood glucose
