Metabolism-related information
ScienceDaily
(Jan. 20, 2012) – The health benefits of exercise on blood sugar metabolism may come from the body's ability to devour
itself, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers report in the journal Nature. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/01/120120184528.htm
Intestinal bacteria drive
obesity and metabolic disease in immune-altered
mice
ScienceDaily (Mar. 8, 2010) — Increased appetite and insulin resistance can be transferred from one mouse to another via intestinal bacteria, according to research being published online by Science magazine. The finding strengthens the case that intestinal bacteria can contribute to human obesity and metabolic disease, since previous research has shown that intestinal bacterial populations differ between obese and lean humans.

ScienceDaily (Nov. 26, 2009) — When you eat may be just as vital to your health as what you eat, found researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. Their experiments in mice revealed that the daily waxing and waning of thousands of genes in the liver -- the body's metabolic clearinghouse -- is mostly controlled by food intake and not by the body's circadian clock as conventional wisdom had it.

ScienceDaily (Nov. 5, 2009) — If worms are any indication, all the sugar in your diet could spell much more than obesity and type 2 Diabetes. Researchers reporting in the November issue of Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press publication, say it might also be taking years off your life.

ScienceDaily (Nov. 4, 2009) — According to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM), eating a meal quickly, as compared to slowly, curtails the release of hormones in the gut that induce feelings of being full. The decreased release of these hormones, can often lead to overeating. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/11/091104085230.htm
ScienceDaily (June 8, 2009) — New research led by the University of Cincinnati (UC) suggests that the hunger hormone ghrelin is activated by fats from the foods we eat—not those made in the body—in order to optimize nutrient metabolism and promote the storage of body fat. The findings, the study's author says, turn the current model about ghrelin on its head and point to a novel stomach enzyme (GOAT) responsible for the ghrelin activation process that could be targeted in future treatments for metabolic diseases. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090605151351.htm
Avoiding the midlife diet
crisis: Beat a slowing metabolism with some easy
nutrition fixes
msnbc.com
(May 29, 2009) by Bonnie Taub-Dix, R.D. — While time may adorn you with new
lines on your face, a new color hair (gray) and a new waistline, the passing
decades are not to blame for all of the changes in your body. Your eating
habits, your attitude and your approach to everyday experiences also play key
roles.

Exercise not likely to rev up
your metabolism: Studies bust myth that working out gives you a fat-burning boost
msnbc.com (May 26, 2009) by Jacqueline Stenson — Start exercising and you’ll become a round-the-clock, fat-burning machine, right? That’s long been a commonly held belief among exercisers and fitness experts alike. But a new report finds that, sadly, it’s not very likely. The notion that exercise somehow boosts the body’s ability to burn fat for as long as 24 hours after a workout has led to a misperception among the general public that diet doesn’t matter so much as long as one exercises, says Edward Melanson, an exercise physiologist and associate professor of medicine at the University of Colorado in Denver.

New York Times: (May 11, 2009) by Nicholas Wade — If you exercise to improve your metabolism and prevent diabetes, you may want to avoid antioxidants like vitamins C and E. That is the message of a surprising new look at the body’s reaction to exercise, reported on Monday by researchers in Germany and Boston.
ScienceDaily (Dec. 16, 2008) — Researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have found that overactivity of a brain enzyme may play a role in preventing weight gain and obesity. The findings were reported in Cell Metabolism.
