PY - 2018 T2 - The Big Picture: Medical Biochemistry AB - The integration of metabolism is a story of supply and demand. Food is ingested to supply energy but must be converted to the carbohydrate, lipid, and amino acid forms the body can use, primarily glucose and fatty acids. Individual cells then convert the fuels to usable energy, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). The body demands energy to function but individual organs and tissues require particular sources of energy under varying conditions.
