Metabolic pathways are a series of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes, requiring vitamins and minerals. Enzymes convert substrates into products, determining which pathways occur. The body’s metabolism is divided into anabolism and catabolism, and is affected by temperature and pH level. Other pathways include fatty acid oxidation and the urea cycle. The metabolic pathway is […]
An accessory pathway in the heart allows electrical signals to bypass the atrioventricular node, potentially leading to cardiac arrhythmias. Diagnosis can be made through an electrocardiogram, and treatment involves surgical ablation or medication. Patients should discuss risks and treatment options with their healthcare provider.
