Cachexia is a metabolic disorder that causes uncontrolled weight loss and muscle wasting in chronic diseases and cancer.

Glycation, the binding of a sugar molecule to a protein or lipid; and oxidation, where an excess of reactive oxygen species causes cell and tissue damage, are both metabolic processes linked to ageing ...

There are "costs of life" that mechanical physics cannot calculate. A clear example is the energy required to keep specific biochemical processes active—such as those that make up photosynthesis, ...

Cancer cachexia upregulates one-carbon metabolism in multiple organs throughout the body, a new mouse study reveals, ...

Metabolic health is sometimes used as a measurable indicator of how key systems in your body are functioning. And it's really important for your long-term well-being.

Metabolic processes form the foundation of human energy systems, allowing our bodies to power everything from basic cellular functions to high-intensity athletic performance. While most people ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford have discovered that the most common liver disease follows a strong day-night pattern ...

Time to turn up the heat.

In order to understand metabolic processes, it is important to be able to detect critical individual elements and metabolites in living organisms. Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf ...

GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide have redefined what’s possible in the treatment of obesity and metabolic syndrome. These medications have shown remarkable results in appetite ...
