Immunology metabolism
Immunology metabolism, or immunometabolism, broadly describes how energy is regulated and managed in the body and how energy is harnessed to defend the body against invasion. There is a lot of interplay between the immune response and metabolism because mounting an effective immune response requires a lot of energy. Those experiences immunometabolic imbalances may be prone to chronic metabolic disease such as obesity, diabetes, and cancer.
