Where does all that food go?how metabolism fuels life /[electronic resource] :by Alicia Kowaltowski, Fernando Abdulkader. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2020. - vii, 151 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Preface -- What is Metabolism? -- How Metabolism Works -- Carbohydrate Metabolism -- Mitochondria: The Batteries of Our Cells -- Lipid Metabolism -- Protein Metabolism -- Alcohol Metabolism -- Metabolism and Obesity -- Diabetes and Metabolism -- Metabolism in the Brain -- Metabolism and Heart Disease -- Metabolism in Exercise -- Cancer and Metabolism -- We are Stardust -- Glossary.

Most people know metabolism is somehow related to our food and tendency to gain or lose weight, but few people actually understand what metabolism is, and how it is essential for all living beings. This book explains the concept and scope of metabolism, how it works, and how metabolic dysfunction is related to diseases. Using language accessible for the general reader and storytelling, it explains which molecules our bodies are made of, how we build these molecules, and how we transform them and the food we eat within us. It also explains how errors in metabolic processes can lead to diseases, including obesity, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, heart disease, stroke, and more. In essence, it is a user's manual to explain how our bodies process, change, and use our food.
