[Disturbances of carbohydrate metabolism and factors stimulating its development in ontogenesis]
Abstract:
The review contains comprehencive literature data about the effect of unfavourable factors on forming of islet's apparatus of pancreas and the development of disturbances of carbohydrate metabolism in ontogenesis. The analyses of current sources showed that the effect of unfavourable factors in embrional period and early childhood defines the development of some disturbances of carbohydrate metabolism in adult life. In the process of ontogenesis the combination of the reduction of islet's apparatus functional activity and risk factors (age, abundant weight, stress, hypodinamia) can lead to the development of metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus and obesity.

Overview of Carbohydrate Metabolism
Glucose transport into cells is facilitated by a family of transport proteins called GLUT (Glucose Transporters). GLUT4 is the primary glucose transporter for insulin-stimulated glucose...
Carbohydrate Metabolism
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in the...
