Understanding Metabolic Diseases: Biochemical Basis and Molecular Pathologies

Metabolic disorders have become a significant burden to human health globally, affecting millions of people worldwide. These disorders occur when metabolic processes in the body are disrupted, leading to conditions such as diabetes mellitus, obesity, metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis, osteopenia, and erectile dysfunction, among others. Early diagnosis and treatment of metabolic disorders are crucial in preventing long-term complications and improving quality of life.

What Causes Metabolic Disorders?

Metabolic disorders can be congenital or acquired, resulting from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The exponential increase in obesity worldwide has contributed to the growing importance of understanding metabolic diseases. Some of the key factors contributing to metabolic disorders include an unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and genetic predisposition.

Diagnostic Approaches to Metabolic Disorders

Recent trends in diagnosis of metabolic disorders involve a multifaceted approach, including biochemical tests, imaging studies, and genetic analysis. Early diagnosis is critical in enabling lifestyle and risk factor modification, which can help prevent or manage metabolic disorders.

Management and Treatment of Metabolic Diseases

Effective management and treatment of metabolic diseases require a comprehensive understanding of the biochemical basis of metabolic diseases and molecular basis of chemical pathologies. This includes the use of medications, lifestyle modifications, and other interventions to manage symptoms and prevent long-term complications.

This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the biochemical basis of metabolic diseases and molecular basis of chemical pathologies. It discusses recent trends in diagnosis, management, and treatment of metabolic disorders, making it a valuable resource for graduate and postgraduate students, researchers, and healthcare professionals.

Key features of this volume include:

• An overview of the biochemical basis of metabolic diseases and molecular basis of chemical pathologies
• Recent trends in diagnosis of metabolic disorders
• Management and treatment of metabolic diseases
• Suitable for graduate and postgraduate students studying metabolic diseases
