To add to the very scarce knowledge bank, our aim was to investigate several aspects of human fetal essential amino acid metabolism. In this study, we were interested in fetal kinetics of the ...

Amino acid metabolism involves the synthesis, breakdown, and interconversion of amino acids in the body. Excess amino acids that are not used for protein synthesis can be catabolized to produce energy ...

This misinformation may arise from the way most textbooks explain energy metabolism, emphasizing glycolysis (the metabolic pathway for glucose degradation) and omitting fatty acid or amino acid ...

This diagram shows the metabolism of glucose in plants - how glucose can be made from starch, lipids and amino acids, and is used in the process of respiration. All cells require glucose for ...

A bat gym shows that vampires are more like some insects, burning amino acids from blood proteins rather than the carbs or fats other mammals rely on.
