Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

The central interconnecting metabolic pathway (pathways of synthesis, degradation, and interconversion of important metabolites) common to most cells and organisms is referred to as intermediary metabolism. Co-ordination of metabolic activities of different organs serves to support glucose homeostasis and provides a steady supply of glucose to meet the needs of the brain and RBCs. This also helps in the storage of fuel when available in plenty. The liver supplies glucose and ketone bodies to other tissues. Adipocytes make FA available to other tissues. The circulatory system transports metabolic fuels, intermediates, and waste products among tissues. Also, certain metabolic pathways occur in multiple tissues, namely, Cori cycle, glucose alanine cycle.
