Discovery “requires us to rethink everything we thought we knew about peroxisomes.” In his first year of graduate school, Rice University biochemist Zachary Wright discovered…
Duke Lemur Center recreates the seasonal swings of native habitat, helping to unlock the secrets of hibernation. If you binged on high-calorie snacks and then…
Study finds that in nematodes, SKN-1B controls behaviors like foraging, eating, and resting. In nematode worms, a key controller allows the worm to sense when…
Studies in mice show fat location matters for intermittent fasting. In a mouse study, Australian researchers have mapped out what happens behind the scenes in…
The sweet taste of sugar, energy intake and the regulatory process of hunger and satiety. The sweet taste of sugar is very popular worldwide. In…
Mice develop diabetes after exposure through mothers. A new UC Riverside study shows flame retardants found in nearly every American home cause mice to give…
The new study looked at the combined effects of disrupted sleep and caffeine on our metabolism – with surprising results. A strong, black coffee to…
For the first time, scientists have studied the early effects of time-restricted feeding on the daily periodic oscillations of metabolites and genes in muscle, and…
Healthy obesity begins where metabolic disorders emerge: Vascular-adipose interaction enables a selective fat storage in a healthier way. Can obesity define health? It is a…
Treatments that block two sugar-transporting proteins could help slow the growth of lung tumors, new research from EPFL suggests. Blocking a pair of sugar-transporting proteins…
Cancer cells rewire their metabolism to compensate for a halt in fat production by importing more fat molecules from their environment. Knowing what cancer will…
Researchers have discovered a new set of signals that cells send and receive to prompt one type of fat cell to convert fat into heat….
A new study offers the first evidence that a protein named BAM15 acts as an energy uncoupler and could be an effective drug for treating…
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen’s Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports have demonstrated that physical activity prompts a clean-up of muscles as the protein…
University of Cincinnati researchers produce fat-busting proteins in the laboratory. Triglycerides, those fats that seem to be the bane of any diet, remain a mystery…
Research on mice reveals surprising impact on fat metabolism. Researchers in Australia have used state-of-the-art analytical tools to understand how intermittent fasting works on the…
Need to control glucose? There’s a drink for that, says University of British Columbia professor. With more people with diabetes and pre-diabetes looking for novel…
A new study in rats suggests that caffeine may offset some of the negative effects of an obesogenic diet by reducing the storage of lipids…
