| intermediary metabolism | Enzyme-catalysed processeswithin cells that extract energy from nutrientmolecules and use that energy to construct cellular components. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| iron metabolism disorders | Disorders in the processing of iron in the body: its absorption, transport, storage, and utilization. (12 Dec 1998) |
| oxidative metabolism | Respiration in the biochemical sense. (18 Nov 1997) |
| electrolyte metabolism | The chemical changes that various essential minerals (e.g., sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium) undergo in the tissues. (05 Mar 2000) |
| energy metabolism | Those metabolic reactions whose role is to release or to provide energy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fat metabolism | Oxidation, decomposition, and synthesis of fats in the tissues. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fructose metabolism, inborn errors | Inherited abnormalities of fructose metabolism, which include three known autosomal recessive types: hepatic fructokinase deficiency (essential fructosuria), hereditary fructose intolerance, and hereditary fructose-1,6-diphosphatase deficiency. Essential fructosuria is a benign asymptomatic metabolic disorder caused by deficiency in fructokinase, leading to decreased conversion of fructose to fructose-1-phosphate and alimentary hyperfructosaemia, but with no clinical dysfunction; may produce a false-positive diabetes test.
