Overview

Glucose metabolism is the set of biochemical processes by which the body takes up, breaks down, stores, and uses glucose, the simple sugar that serves as a primary source of energy for cells. Dietary carbohydrates are digested into glucose, which is absorbed into the bloodstream and either used immediately to generate energy through glycolysis and subsequent pathways, stored as glycogen, or converted to other molecules. These processes are tightly regulated by hormones such as insulin and glucagon, along with a network of enzymes and transporters, to keep blood glucose within a narrow range. Disturbances in glucose metabolism are central to metabolic disorders, most notably type 2 diabetes mellitus, where impaired regulation leads to elevated blood glucose and downstream complications. Within this journal's coverage of Glycomics And Metabolism, relevant work includes a study of the impact of nutrients on diabetes, a study on bioinformatics of metabolomics in type 2 diabetes mellitus, a clinical study of Momordica charantia (bitter melon) for reducing blood sugar in type 2 diabetes, and an investigation of the acute effects of mushroom powder supplementation on postprandial glycemia following a high-fat meal. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to the topic.
