RED STICK, La. – Tiny babies as young as two weeks old are shepherded into the Pennington Biomedical Research Center’s lab in strollers and car-seat carriers. Some cry, some can’t stop wiggling, and others simply sleep during their entire visit. Their job is easy: hang out while scientists take careful measurements of their body fat … Read more
Credit: CC0 Public Domain Scientists from the University of Copenhagen found how high-intensity interval training (HIIT) could boost human skeletal muscles and reshape metabolism. The findings suggest that HIIT boosts the amount of proteins in skeletal muscle that are essential for energy metabolism and muscle contraction, and chemically alters key metabolic proteins. The research is … Read more
Scientists have found a new way to tell whether dinosaurs were hot- or cold-blooded. This question has long eluded paleontologists, leading to many heated debates where they even accused each other of acting more like politicians than scientists. Early dinosaur researchers initially assumed these animals were slow, lumbering, and cold-blooded like the modern reptiles they … Read more
Precision oncology is a revolution in cancer care. Researchers are learning how to stop cancer by sequencing a patient’s tumor, studying its metabolism, tracking the immune system’s response and so much more. And scientists at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center are at the forefront. During the Hutch’s virtual Science Says event on May 25, Fred … Read more
It’s an all-too-common story. A patient loses weight after changing his or her diet and physical activity. Donna Ryan Comprehensive lifestyle intervention (behavior changes around diet and physical activity) is foundational to weight loss efforts, including perhaps the addition of drugs, devices, or surgery. These interventions have been shown to produce weight loss associated with … Read more
Lactate is generated in the body as a byproduct, during normal metabolism and exercise. While considered a useless waste product for a long time, recent studies have shown that lactate can be an indicator for cancer and various other diseases. In light of this, monitoring lactate levels can help us gain a better understanding of … Read more
Sending humans virtually anywhere in space beyond the Moon pushes logistics of health, food, and psychology to limits we’re just just beginning to grasp. A staple solution to these problems in science fiction is to simply put the void-travelers to bed for a while. In a sleep-like state akin to hibernation or torpor, metabolism drops, … Read more
