Background: Information regarding the metabolic hormones in different metabolic states of high producing dairy cows can aid high producing herds to manage and resolve the metabolic and production problems. Furthermore, it can be considered as a tool to evaluate metabolic status of dairy cows. Herd managers can also evaluate the energy input-output relationships by assessing the metabolic profil...

New treatments are urgently needed to address the current epidemic of obesity and diabetes. Recent studies have highlighted multiple pathways whereby serotonin (5-HT) modulates energy homeostasis, leading to a renewed interest in the identification of 5-HT-based therapies for metabolic disease. This review aims to synthesize pharmacological and genetic studies that have found diverse functions ...

Organisms have to continuously adapt to changing environmental conditions or undergo developmental transitions. To meet the accompanying change in metabolic demands, the molecular mechanisms of adaptation involve concerted interactions which ultimately induce a modification of the metabolic state, which is characterized by reaction fluxes and metabolite concentrations. These state transitions a...

abstract        background and objectives: nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common chronic liver disorder and is also currently considered as the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome. regular exercise training may decrease fatty liver disease complications, although its impact is not yet clear. this study aimed to evaluate the effects of six weeks of aerobic training on liver...

One of the most common diseases in Iran and the world is metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of group logo-therapy program on existential anxiety among patients with metabolic syndrome. This study was a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest with a control group. The study population has consisted of adult women aged 25 to 60 years old with Metabolic Syndrome that...

Bacteria must be able to detect rapid changes in their environment and to adapt their metabolism to external uctuations. They monitor their surroundings with membrane-bound and intra-cellular sensors. The regulatory mechanisms of bacteria can act as a model for the design of robust control systems based on an artiicial chemistry. The capability to process information which is needed to keep aut...
