Energy metabolism and glutamate-glutamine cycle in the brain: a stoichiometric modeling perspective [PDF]
BMC Systems Biology 7:103 (2013), 2013 The energetics of cerebral activity critically relies on the functional and metabolic interactions between neurons and astrocytes. Important open questions include the relation between neuronal versus astrocytic energy demand, glucose uptake and intercellular lactate transfer, as well as their dependence on the level of activity.

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2023 Breastfeeding supplies infant gut bacteria with human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) as a nutrient source. HMO profiles are influenced by the FUT2 gene, which encodes an enzyme affecting the fucosylation of milk sugars. 20 to 40% of individuals have a “non-

Quantitative constraint-based computational model of tumor-to-stroma coupling via lactate shuttle [PDF]
Scientific Reports 5, 11880 (2015), 2015 Cancer cells utilize large amounts of ATP to sustain growth, relying primarily on non-oxidative, fermentative pathways for its production. In many types of cancers this leads, even in the presence of oxygen, to the secretion of carbon equivalents (usually in the form of lactate) in the cell's surroundings, a feature known as the Warburg effect.

Maternal and Child NutritionIt is recommended that infants are introduced to complementary foods from 6 months old, moving from a solely milk diet to eating a family diet by 12 months old. Although home cooking of family foods is recommended, a rapidly growing market producing baby

A heuristic approach for lactate threshold estimation for training decision-making: An accessible and easy to use solution for recreational runners [PDF]
, 2019 In this work, a heuristic as operational tool to estimate the lactate threshold and to facilitate its integration into the training process of recreational runners is proposed. To do so, we formalize the principles for the lactate threshold estimation from empirical data and an iterative methodology that enables experience based learning. This strategy

The safety of at home powdered infant formula preparation: A community science project
Maternal and Child NutritionFormula fed infants experience gastrointestinal infections at higher rates than breastfed infants, due in part to bacteria in powdered infant formula (PIF) and bacterial contamination of infant feeding equipment.

Considerations for lactation with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: a narrative review
International Breastfeeding Journal, 2022 Background Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a rare genetic connective tissue condition that is poorly understood in relation to lactation. As diagnostic methods improve, prevalence has increased.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Glutaredoxin (Grx) 3 proteins contain a thioredoxin domain and one to three class II Grx domains. These proteins play a crucial role in iron homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. In human Grx3, at least one of the two Grx domains, together with the thioredoxin domain, is essential for its function in iron metabolism.
