Survival during fasting requires release of adipose tissue lipid stores and is thought to be dependent on canonical lipases, including the rate limiting action of adipose triglyceride lipase.

Metabolism refers to the chemical reactions that occur within an organism to sustain life. The reactions are divided into two categories: catabolism (the breakdown of organic matter to produce ...

The long-term cardiac effects of amiodarone resemble many aspects of hypothyroidism. The anti-arrhythmic potential of amiodarone may therefore be the result of a drug-induced, local hypothyroid ...

Natural ways to boost metabolism can be fun and easy. Simple things like eating more protein, high-intensity interval training, lifting weights, avoiding skipping meals, drinking the right things, ...

Thyroid hormones help regulate the body's metabolic rate, which is a measure of how efficient it is at using energy. When the thyroid isn’t producing enough of certain hormones, metabolism slows down; ...

Each aptamer is engineered to bind to a target metabolite and to carry a unique DNA barcode. "We need to measure metabolites because of the role they play in our health, but it is very challenging ...

By examining a vast dataset, researchers explored links between sleep and cardiovascular health, metabolism, mental well-being, and more, offering new insights into the far-reaching effects of ...

Background: Drug metabolism genes are involved in the in vivo metabolic processing of drugs. In previous research, we found that a high-fat diet affected the transcript levels of mouse hepatic genes ...

The three test compounds (amiodarone, tamoxifen, and the cannabinoid WIN 55,212-2) depleted the cellular ATP content at lower concentrations than cytotoxicity occurred. They all caused cellular fat ...
