What is metabolic conditioning? We combed through the latest research and asked an expert to explain

Arterial stiffness appears first in the disease progression of metabolic syndrome, a study found.

How do you rationally engineer the metabolism of a microorganism? First, you need to understand how...

Markers of metabolic syndrome were associated with an increased risk for the three common mental health disorders up to 20 years later, results of a large longitudinal study showed.

First study to show obesity-related cancer risk is 1.5-fold higher in people with metabolic aberrations as well as obesity, compared with metabolically healthy and normal weight individuals.

Effect appeared more pronounced among those with type 2 diabetes.

MH individuals with overweight or obesity showed a lower likelihood of having prediabetes than MU individuals with overweight or obesity.

The product of fasting plasma triglyceride and glucose levels (TyG index) plus waist-to-height ratio accounted for 68.6% of the risk for incident metabolic syndrome in 590 Chinese adults.

A recent study explains an essential component for proper mitochondrial function: The protein complexes MICOS and ATP synthase can communicate with each other. Researchers have uncovered an important mechanism that ensures efficient metabolic adaptation of mitochondria.

One of the fundamental challenges in obesity research is to identify subjects prone to gain weight so that obesity and its comorbidities can be promptly prevented or treated. The principles of thermodynamics as applied to human body energetics demonstrate ...

A recent study explains an essential component for proper mitochondrial function: The protein complexes MICOS and ATP synthase can communicate with each other. Dr. Heike Rampelt and Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Pfanner at the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the University of Freiburg have uncovered an important mechanism that ensures efficient metabolic adaptation of mitochondria. The research is a…

French researchers think they've identified a truly novel approach

Losing weight and reversing obesity might seem straightforward: eat fewer calories than you burn. But that's not as easy as it sounds. This special feature explores the many factors that affect the body's metabolism.

Despite the social media hype and a few very small studies, dry fasting is unlikely to improve health and may cause harm.

Swap your typical snacks out for a variety of nuts to help improve risk factors for metabolic syndrome, including waist circumference and blood lipid levels.

A new formal definition of CKM syndrome from the American Heart Association reflects the strong interplay among metabolic risk factors, chronic kidney disease, and the cardiovascular system.

Many animals, including humans, have a preference for nutrient-balanced diets. Among all essential nutrients, multicellular organisms need to consume the building blocks of proteins, called amino acids, in order to build proteins of their own. Humans might decide on the best foods for them by reading nutrition labels, but it's less clear how other animals inherently "know" which foods they need to function.
