energy expenditure

How frequently have you heard: "Build muscle to lose fat." Implying that muscle mass has a very high metabolic rate and will burn up all your adipose tissue the more muscle you have. In this article, I set the record straight and also show you what's really important for increasing energy...

Creatine Fuels the Thermic Effect of Feeding. - PubMed - NCBI The current obesity epidemic has focused a great deal of attention on cellular pathways of energy expenditure. While a crucial part of this process is diet-induced thermogenesis, the underlying mechanisms have remained unexplained...

Daily magnesium fluxes regulate cellular timekeeping and energy balance. - PubMed - NCBI Circadian clocks are fundamental to the biology of most eukaryotes, coordinating behaviour and physiology to resonate with the environmental cycle of day and night through complex networks of...

A creatine-driven substrate cycle enhances energy expenditure and thermogenesis in beige fat. - PubMed - NCBI Thermogenic brown and beige adipose tissues dissipate chemical energy as heat, and their thermogenic activities can combat obesity and diabetes. Herein the functional adaptations to...

As Haidut mentions here, good to see increasing recognition for the role of metabolism in intelligence. "Humans are distinguished from the other living apes in having larger brains and an unusual life history that combines high reproductive output with slow childhood growth and exceptional...

Putting desire on a budget: dopamine and energy expenditure, reconciling reward and resources. - PubMed - NCBI Abstract Accumulating evidence indicates integration of dopamine function with metabolic signals, highlighting a potential role for dopamine in energy balance, frequently construed...
