metaboolisen

Metaboolisen is a Finnish term that translates to "metabolic" in English. It is used in various contexts within science and medicine, primarily referring to processes related to metabolism. Metabolism itself encompasses the sum of all chemical processes that occur in living organisms to maintain life. These processes include the breakdown of nutrients for energy and the synthesis of complex molecules necessary for growth and repair.

When used in Finnish, metaboolisen often appears in compound words or phrases. For instance, "metaboolinen sairaus" translates to "metabolic disease." These are conditions that disrupt normal metabolic processes, such as diabetes mellitus, which affects how the body uses glucose. Another example is "metaboolinen syndrooma" or "metabolic syndrome," a cluster of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. The adjective "metaboolisen" can also describe substances or activities involved in metabolic pathways, like "metaboolinen reaktio" (metabolic reaction). Understanding the context in which "metaboolisen" is used is crucial for accurate interpretation of its meaning in Finnish scientific and medical literature.
