Can real-time visual feedback during gait retraining reduce metabolic demand for individuals with transtibial amputation? [PDF]
, 2017 The metabolic demand of walking generally increases following lower extremity amputation. This study used real-time visual feedback to modify biomechanical factors linked to an elevated metabolic demand of walking in individuals with transtibial ...

Scaling metabolic rate fluctuations [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007 Complex ecological and economic systems show fluctuations in macroscopic quantities such as exchange rates, size of companies or populations that follow non-Gaussian tent-shaped probability distributions of growth rates with power-law decay, which suggests that fluctuations in complex systems may be governed by universal mechanisms, independent of ...

A Portable Waist-Loaded Soft Exosuit for Hip Flexion Assistance with Running
Micromachines, 2022 The soft exosuit is an emerging robotics, which has been proven to considerably reduce the metabolic consumption of human walking and running. However, compared to walking, relatively few soft exosuits have been studied for running.

Energy – a scoping review for the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2023 project
Food & Nutrition Research, 2023 We need energy intake to provide energy and nutrients to our cells. The amount of daily energy intake should aim for energy balance, which results in good health.

Mitochondrial determinants of mammalian longevity [PDF]
Open Biology, 2017 Current ageing theories are far from satisfactory because of the many determinants involved in ageing. The well-known rate-of-living theory assumes that the product (lifetime energy expenditure, LEE) of maximum lifespan (MLS) and mass-specific basal ...

Body Weight and Metabolic Rate Changes in Narcolepsy: Current Knowledge and Future Directions
Metabolites, 2022 Narcolepsy is a known auto-immune disease that presents mainly in the teenage years with irresistible sleep attacks. Patients with narcolepsy, especially NT1, have been found to have a high prevalence of obesity and other metabolic derangements.

Effect of deuterium on the circadian period and metabolism in wild-type and tau mutant Syrian hamsters [PDF]
, 2000 Homozygous tau mutant Syrian hamsters (tau-/-) have a free-running circadian period (τ) around 20 h and a proportionally higher metabolic rate compared with wild-type hamsters (tau+/+) with a period of circa 24 h.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Most mammals and birds are altricial, small and naked at birth/hatching. They attain endothermic thermoregulation at a fraction of their adult size at a vulnerable stage with high heat loss when many could profit from using torpor for energy conservation.
