Carbohydrates are the most abundant biological macromolecules on earth and are at the heart of many important metabolic pathways. Carbohydrate metabolism represents a variety of biochemical processes. These processes are responsible for the formation, hydrolysis, and interconversion of carbohydrates in living organisms to continuously provide energy for living cells. Many biochemical processes of cells depend on carbohydrate metabolism because it may rapidly provide ATP in a short time to support various life activities. In addition, it also has the functions of regulating fat metabolism, providing dietary fiber, detoxification, and enhancing intestinal function. Therefore, carbohydrates are both catabolized to energy (ATP) and have an anabolic function. Abnormal carbohydrate metabolism often causes a variety of diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, downstream cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, and other diseases that have been confirmed to be related to carbohydrate metabolism disorders.
