Metabolism Syndrome is a group of conditions that occur simultaneously that result from impairments of the body’s system of metabolism and possibly of glucose intolerance, which are characterized by heart disease. Metabolism is the total of all chemical processes that occur in the cells and fluids in the body, including absorption of nutrients and minerals, conversion of molecules, and the production of energy from these chemical processes. Each step of the metabolic process requires an enzyme to facilitate the actual change. Sometimes, the enzyme has an internal abnormality, which causes a defect in the metabolic process. Since metabolism is responsible for all chemical conversions, defects can present in numerous areas of the body.
