Metabolism (from Greek: μεταβολή metabolē, “change”) is the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of living organisms. The three main purposes of metabolism are the conversion of food/fuel to energy to run cellular processes, the conversion of food/fuel to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates, and the elimination ofContinue reading “Metabolism is life sustaining and sum of all chemical reactions for growth and death of cells”

Vitamin B12 is important in the utilization of carbohydrates
This report consists of a brief summary of experimental studies which emphasize (a) the dominant role played by vitamin B12 in the utilization of carbohydrates, (b) interrelationships between vitamin B12 absorption and endocrine function, and (c) some relationships of vitamin B12 to diabetes mellitus. (1) Weanling rats fed a diet, rich in carbohydrate and lowContinue reading “Vitamin B12 is important in the utilization of carbohydrates”
Indigestion and other symptoms related to stomach health issues or cancer
Symptoms Find out about the possible symptoms of stomach (gastric) cancer and when to see your doctor. Symptoms of early stomach cancer can be the same as symptoms of other conditions, such as ulcers. Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) You may feel pain or a burning sensation when you swallow, or your food may stick in yourContinue reading “Indigestion and other symptoms related to stomach health issues or cancer”

Biological Link Between Stress and Obesity
Summary: Researchers revealed the molecular elements that bridge anxiety and metabolism. Source: Hebrew University of Jerusalem. For the first time — researchers revealed a connection between anxiety and metabolic disorders at the molecular level; the discovery opens new possibilities for detecting and treating both symptoms. Metabolic and anxiety-related disorders both pose a significant healthcare burden,Continue reading “Biological Link Between Stress and Obesity”
Metabolic pathway provides cues for cancer, aging and health care
In biochemistry, a metabolic pathway is a linked series of chemical reactions occurring within a cell. The reactants, products, and intermediates of an enzymatic reaction are known as metabolites, which are modified by a sequence of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes.[1] In a metabolic pathway, the product of one enzyme acts as the substrate forContinue reading “Metabolic pathway provides cues for cancer, aging and health care”
Mapping Genes That Increase Lifespan
Comprehensive study finds 238 genes that affect aging in yeast cells. Following an exhaustive, ten-year effort, scientists at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and the University of Washington have identified 238 genes that, when removed, increase the replicative lifespan of S. cerevisiae yeast cells. This is the first time 189 of these genesContinue reading “Mapping Genes That Increase Lifespan”
Behavior, brain SPECT scan, hormones, gratitude, neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity, also known as brain plasticity, is an umbrella term that describes lasting change to the brain throughout an individual’s life course. The term gained prominence in the latter half of the 20th century, when new research[1] showed many aspects of the brain remain changeable (or “plastic”) even into adulthood.[2] This notion contrasts with theContinue reading “Behavior, brain SPECT scan, hormones, gratitude, neuroplasticity”
Mayo Clinic uses EHRs, genetics to tailor patients’ antidepressants
By combining an electronic health record system with genetic testing results, psychiatrists at the Mayo Clinic are able to personalize treatment for patients taking antidepressants. The confluence of EHRs and precision medicine is proving to be a powerful tool for optimizing the prescriptions of antidepressant medication tailored to individual patients. According to Mark Frye, MD,Continue reading “Mayo Clinic uses EHRs, genetics to tailor patients’ antidepressants”

Metabolism Myths
It’s time you know the burning truths about your metabolism. (Credit: Corbis/C.J. Burton/Yahoo) Most of us know the basic formula for weight loss: If calories out exceed calories in, the pounds will fall off. But what sounds so simple can actually be a bit complicated when you consider the “calories out” half of the equation.Continue reading “Metabolism Myths”
