The marked metabolites identified in this study aligned with energy metabolic pathways, including carbohydrate metabolism (glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and glyoxylate, dicarboxylate metabolism, and pyruvate metabolism), propanoate metabolism, and methane metabolism (Fig

This was paralleled by changes in certain intracellular signaling proteins, including Akt, which is commonly linked with survival and growth-related pathways
Hexosamine biosynthetic pathway The hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) is an alternative secondary route within glucose metabolism that processes fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) and glutamine into glucosamine-6-phosphate (G6P) through the enzymatic action of glutaminefructose-6-phosphate transaminase (GFPT), present in the forms of GFPT1 and GFPT2, with GFPT2 being the primary isoform active in cardiac tissue [90]
