Monosaccharides are the basic source of energy and the first of energetic compounds to be metabolised in human cells. Following breakdown they provide the body with large quantities of energy in short time. Glucose metabolism plays a crucial role in body processes, thus an efficient system of its control is necessary. The control of glucose metabolism must account for lipogenesis reactions (creating fatty tissue) and lipolysis (breakdown of fatty tissue) taking place in cells.
When analysing the pathogenesis of glucose metabolism one must not pass over the role of the hunger signalling system. Disturbances at the initial phase of this system are of key effect on the overall sugar metabolism in the body.
