ABSTRACT

Glucose and lipid metabolism are crucial metabolic processes for two important nutrients in the human body. Maintaining the homeostasis of glucose and lipid metabolism is of self - evident significance for the body. The glucose and lipid metabolism system is so complex and extensive that almost all tissues in the body are involved. From our lifestyle and rhythms to a single molecule in our body, everything may affect the process of glucose and lipid metabolism and the overall state of our body. Once a problem occurs in any link of glucose and lipid metabolism, the operation of certain parts of the body or even all organs may be abnormal, leading to various diseases. This article selects recent literature on glucose and lipid metabolism research to explore the newly discovered influencing factors of glucose and lipid metabolism and the relationship between glucose and lipid metabolism and related diseases.
