It covers chloride absorption, deficiency, toxicity, and key transport mechanisms such as the chloride shift. Clinical conditions, including Congenital Chloride Diarrhea, Cystic Fibrosis, and Bartter syndrome, are highlighted alongside genetic insights from OMIM and NCBI. Diagnostic methods, treatment options, and population-specific adaptations are also summarized to provide a concise overview of chloride’s importance in health and disease.

It discussed how insulin resistance in the liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. In the second part, the topic was evaluated from a food engineering perspective, presenting functional food strategies to support metabolic health, including the development of low-glycemic index products, reduction of sugar and saturated fat, and the use of bioactive components such as prebiotic fibers and polyphenols.
