Search Results - Metabolism

Type in a word or phrase to search:

Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that occur in living organisms in order to maintain life. These processes allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments. Metabolism is usually divided into two categories. Catabolism breaks down large molecules, for example to harvest energy in cellular respiration. Anabolism, on the other hand, uses energy to construct components of cells such as proteins and nucleic acids.

The chemical reactions of metabolism are organized into metabolic pathways, in which one chemical is transformed into another by a sequence of enzymes. Enzymes are crucial to metabolism because they allow organisms to drive desirable but thermodynamically unfavorable reactions by coupling them to favorable ones. Enzymes also allow the regulation of metabolic pathways in response to changes in the cell's environment or signals from other cells.

The metabolism of an organism determines which substances it will find nutritious and which it will find poisonous. For example, some prokaryotes use hydrogen sulfide as a nutrient, yet this gas is poisonous to animals.[1] The speed of metabolism, the metabolic rate, also influences how much food an organism will require.

A striking feature of metabolism is the similarity of the basic metabolic pathways between even vastly different species. For example, the set of carboxylic acids that are best known as the intermediates in the citric acid cycle are present in all organisms, being found in species as diverse as the unicellular bacteria Escherichia coli and huge multicellular organisms like elephants.[2] These striking similarities in metabolism are most likely the result of the high efficiency of these pathways, and of their early appearance in evolutionary history.[3][4]

1. Is Your Thyroid Making You Gain Weight?
October 07, 2008

The thyroid, sometimes called our "master gland," is a small gland, shaped like a butterfly, located in the lower part of your neck. The thyroid gland is responsible for producing the hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), which control metabolism. These thyroid hormones regulate energy levels, body temperature, and weight. So, is your thyroid making you gain weight? Read on.

October 02, 2008

The liver is a vital organ in the human body. It has so many functions that we cannot live without it. The funtions of the liver include the following functions: Proteins metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism and in particular glucose metabolism which is called glycolysis.

Glucose is especially important as energy for the brain cells. Lipid metabolism which is also used to produce energy is also done in the liver. Amino a... (read more)

3. First Step To 6-Pack Abs-Lose Your Belly Fat
October 02, 2008

Yes! You can have 6-pack abs, but if you're like a lot of people who decide they want to have rock hard abs, those abs are covered by a layer of fat. Exercises like crunches, situps or using an ab machine will give the abs you're looking for, but only after you get rid of the belly fat. Those exercises are not going to help you lose the fat. The only way you will lose that fat is to eat fewer calories than you burn every day. Don't try to lose weight with what are commonly called "health foods". Many of them are just disguised junk foods and will probably make you gain more than you lose. A... (read more)

5. Why Weight Training Pays off for Seniors
October 02, 2008

The importance of weight lifting is getting a lot of press these days. Cardiovascular training is great for strengthening the heart and other systems of the body and for jump starting weight loss, but adding weight lifting propels people to even greater levels of health.

8. Cardio Timing
October 02, 2008

Eating temporarily elevates blood-glucose and insulin levels. Unfortunately, a high level of glucose in the blood interferes with the body’s ability to use body fat as fuel. As I'm sure you are aware of, the human body is very stubborn and won't release stored body fat unless it has no other choice. Jumping on the elliptical machine 15 minutes after a meal might burn some calories, but it will not be effective at lowering your body fat percentage. Research suggests that performing your cardio in the morning before breakfast is the fastest way to trim your waistline and loose those stubbor... (read more)
