D-Psicose, a rare sugar, has become a subject of interest in nutritional and metabolic research due to its unique structural properties and its impact on biochemical pathways. In metabolic studies, D-Psicose is explored for its influence on carbohydrate metabolism, as it behaves differently compared to more prevalent sugars, potentially affecting the glycolytic pathway and energy balance. Its role in modulating enzymes involved in carbohydrate digestion is also a key focus, providing valuable data on how it may alter the kinetics of these biological catalysts.
