Abstract
Metabolism is a complex process that involves a series of chemical reactions in the human body. Alterations in these metabolic processes constitute the disturbances of metabolism causing metabolic disorders. The breakdown of carbohydrate by the oral microorganisms has been the subject of numerous investigations. This review discusses the oral aspects of metabolic diseases.
Highlights
Metabolism Duncan defined metabolism as “the sum total of tissue activity as considered in terms of physicochemical changes associated with and regulated by the availability, utilization and disposal of protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins, minerals, water and the influences which the endocrines exert on these processes”

Anabolism is a process that requires energy for synthesis of complex compounds from small molecules. In this process energy is been utilized. Alterations in these metabolic processes constitute the disturbances of metabolism causing metabolic disorders
Summary
Metabolism Duncan defined metabolism as “the sum total of tissue activity as considered in terms of physicochemical changes associated with and regulated by the availability, utilization and disposal of protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins, minerals, water and the influences which the endocrines exert on these processes”. The process of metabolism includes 2 types of mechanisms, i.e, catabolism and anabolism [1]. Disturbances of protein metabolism Amyloidosis: It is a rare disease that results from accumulation of inappropriately folded proteins. Disorders in carbohydrate metabolism include Mucopolysacchridoses (MPS) type I, II, III, IV, VIa, VIb, VII.
