Cell size and basal metabolic rate in hummingbirds Tamaño celular y tasa metabólica basal en picaflores

Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2005
Nucleotypic theory suggests that genome size play indirect roles in determining organismal fitness. Among endotherms this theory has been demonstrated by an inverse correlation between basal metabolic rate (BMR) and genome size. Nonetheless, accumulation

Control of Type II Diabetes, Its Relationship with Obesity and Basal Metabolic Rate

Journal of Shalamar Medical & Dental College, 2019
Background: The prevalence of T2DM is around 7-10%. Control of diabetes and factors influencing it in third world countries need to be clearly defined as most of the people have poor glycemic control. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted and

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

Basal Metabolic Rate in Healthy Young Adults in Lagos

, 2002
The study was carried out in order to provide local reference values of basal metabolic rate (BMR) by determining the BMR of healthy young adult males in Lagos and that of their female counterparts.

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

Intraspecific variation in the metabolism of juvenile Atlantic salmon salmo salar and northern pike esox lucius [PDF]

, 2000
Basal metabolic rate (BMR), the sum of maintenance energy costs, represents a major component of the energy budgets of ectothermic vertebrates and varies between individuals within a species. Individual ectotherms are generally assumed to have a constant

Serum fibroblast growth factor 21 levels in patients with hyperthyroidism and its association with body fat percentage

Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2019
Background: Most of the actions of thyroid hormone (TH) on body metabolisms like maintenance of basal metabolic rate (BMR) and body fat are similar to that of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21). We hypothesized that in patients with hyperthyroidism, the

Translophagy—A potential link between autophagy impairment and translational errors

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the accumulation of abnormal proteins and protein aggregates, but their origin often remains unknown. We propose that selective autophagy removes damaged protein‐making machinery, preventing errors during protein synthesis.

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...
