GlossaryMetabolic Dysfunction

abnormalities in body's metabolic processes affecting energy conversion

Metabolic dysfunction refers to abnormalities in the body's metabolic processes, which can lead to issues like insulin resistance, obesity, and abnormal lipid levels. These disruptions can affect how the body converts food into energy and how it manages essential functions, potentially contributing to conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
