Galactose Absorption and Metabolism | Leloir Pathway and Galactosemia

The video tutorial explains galactose, a hexose sugar, and its dietary sources like milk and fruits. It details the absorption process of galactose in the body, involving transporters like SGLT1. The metabolism of galactose through the Loire pathway is discussed, highlighting the conversion to glucose 1 phosphate. The video also covers galactosemia, a condition caused by enzyme deficiencies, leading to high blood galactose levels.
