Metabolic dysfunction is a broad area of research that focuses on the disruption of normal metabolic processes in the body. This can include conditions such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes. Metabolic dysfunction can lead to a variety of health problems, including cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and certain types of cancer. Research in this area aims to better understand the underlying mechanisms of metabolic dysfunction, develop new treatments, and identify ways to prevent or reverse its effects. This research is often multidisciplinary, involving fields such as biochemistry, genetics, nutrition, and physiology.
