Metabolic disorders are a group of disorders that affect the body's metabolism, or the process by which the body converts food into energy. These disorders can involve various organs and systems in the body, including the liver, pancreas, and endocrine system. Metabolic disorders can manifest in a variety of ways, such as diabetes, obesity, and lipid disorders. These disorders can have a significant impact on overall health and can lead to serious complications if left untreated. Research in this area focuses on understanding the underlying mechanisms of these disorders, developing new treatments, and improving management strategies for patients.
