Project description
Amidst the onset of digestive issues in the gut, the mucosa adapts metabolic pathways to maintain
cellular balance, redirecting glucose energy. Modifications to redox-sensitive enzymes govern the shift
of glucose from glycolysis to the pentose phosphate pathway. This interplay could provide potential
markers for detecting redox status and gut health problems.
