The Science of Metabolic Health
Mitochondrial Energy Pathway Simulator
Select a fuel substrate and trace its pathway through cellular metabolism. Observe how different fuels generate different ROS signals and metabolic outcomes.
1
Glucose Enters the Cell
Insulin signals GLUT4 transporters to move to the cell surface, allowing glucose uptake. Glucose is phosphorylated to glucose-6-phosphate, trapping it inside the cell.
2
Glycolysis
3
Pyruvate → Acetyl-CoA
4
Krebs Cycle + ETC → ATP + ROS
5
ROS Signals Satiety
