Metabolic Health

Metabolic health refers to the optimal functioning of processes that regulate energy production, storage, and utilization within the body. In endocrinology, it encompasses the balance of hormones that control metabolism, such as insulin, glucagon, thyroid hormones, cortisol, and growth hormone. Disruptions in metabolic health can lead to conditions like obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Endocrinologists study how hormonal imbalances affect glucose regulation, lipid metabolism, and energy homeostasis, aiming to develop targeted therapies to restore metabolic function and prevent chronic diseases. Promoting metabolic health is key to reducing the global burden of endocrine and cardiovascular disorders.
