A new study, published in Nature Genetics, created the largest genetic map of human metabolism, revealing new insights into the role of metabolites in health and disease and creating a blueprint for ...

Xenobiotic metabolism in human skin is a multifaceted process involving a network of phase I and phase II enzymatic pathways that modulate the biotransformation of externally applied chemicals such as ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...

Scientists have recently leveraged the massive amount of human health and genetic data in the UK Biobank to learn more about how small variations in the sequences of genes are related to metabolic ...

Energy is trapped in the chemical bonds of nutrient molecules. How is it then made usable for cellular functions and biosynthetic processes? Aa Aa Aa Where does the energy that makes life possible ...

A new study, published today in Nature Genetics, created the largest genetic map of human metabolism, revealing new insights on the role of metabolites in health and disease and creating a blueprint ...

This article explores the intersection between drinking and nutrition to reveal how alcohol-induced malnutrition can perpetuate a cycle of craving and relapse.

Human metabolism is regulated by internal clocks, the so-called circadian rhythms. Many processes, such as sugar uptake, fat ...

Human egg cells have the ability to "power down" their internal recycling plants to protect themselves from harmful DNA damage as they age. This is the conclusion of an international team of ...

The warning from former FDA leadership is a reminder that we cannot outrun our own biology. While technology has advanced our food production, our internal systems remain rooted in the need for whole, ...
