Obesity and Metabolism

Obesity and metabolism are intricately linked, with metabolism playing a key role in energy balance and weight regulation. In obesity, an imbalance occurs between calorie intake and expenditure, leading to the accumulation of excess body fat. Metabolic dysregulation, particularly involving insulin resistance and inflammation, contributes to obesity-related complications such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular issues. Understanding the interplay between obesity and metabolism is essential for developing effective strategies to address and manage this global health challenge.
