I'd gained a lot of weight and developed something called metabolic syndrome.

But I knew that there were examples of creatures, also mammals, that do reduce their metabolic rate such as ground squirrels and bears, they reduce their metabolic rate in the wintertime when they hibernate.

So, I'm interested in the use of metabolic materials for the practice of architecture.

Today s new technologies enable health to be identified in terms of patterns of gene expression, protein production, and metabolic response. Applied to nutrition, nutrigenomics will allow us to understand, and perhaps more importantly, to manipulate our individual response to existing foods so as to benefit our health.

So, we wondered Can we do anything useful with this capacity to control metabolic flexibility?

So, all of these things greater metabolic demands, reduced reproductive success, changes in respiration and metabolism.

We have, from the time we are slapped on the butt until we take our last dying breath that's when we're newborn to when we're dead we cannot reduce our metabolic rate below what's called a standard, or basal metabolic rate.

Mood stabilizers are the treatment of choice, and, depending on the medication, they can produce potentially significant health complications affecting renal, endocrine, hepatic, immunologic, or metabolic function. Thus, over diagnosing bipolar disorder can unnecessarily expose patients to serious side effects of medication.

Secondly, these metabolic materials have some of the properties of living systems, which means they can perform in similar ways.

So, in summary, I'm generating metabolic materials as a counterpoise to Victorian technologies, and building architectures from a bottom up approach.

I'm not suggesting that obesity is benign, but what I am suggesting is it may be the lesser of two metabolic evils.

So one of the things we're seeing is organisms are having to spend more metabolic energy to build and maintain their shells.

If obesity is nothing more than a proxy for metabolic illness, what good does it do us to punish those with the proxy?

It's too cold he can't keep his metabolic fires going, and, you see, there's no more red here his brain is quieting down.

This biosensor actually is a biomolecular assembly involved in physiological functions, such as smell and taste, and in metabolic and neural biochemical pathways.

Now, what you do is, you get inside the microbe, you change its metabolic pathways, and you end up with a living chemical factory.

What if being obese is just a metabolic response to something much more threatening, an underlying epidemic, the one we ought to be worried about?

But most important in this, the exponent, the analog to that three quarters for the metabolic rate, is bigger than one it's about 1.15 to 1.2.

Consider the following diets Atkins (all fat and no carbohydrates) traditional Japanese (all carbohydrates and little fat) and Ornish (even less fat and carbohydrates with lots of fiber). All three help to maintain, and in some cases even improve, metabolic health, because the liver has to deal with only one energy source at a time.

What is plotted here is metabolic rate how much energy you need per day to stay alive versus your weight, your mass, for all of us bunch of organisms.

The United States currently spends 147 billion on obesity related health care annually. Previously, one could have argued that these were affluent countries diseases, but the United Nations announced last year that chronic metabolic disease (including diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and dementia) is a bigger threat to the developing world than is infectious disease, including HIV.

Apart from diseases in newborn children, these examinations are meant to identify metabolic disturbances, developmental and behavioural disturbances or diseases of the nervous system, the sense organs and the teeth.

So just through self assembly, mixing things together in the lab, we can come up with, say, a metabolic surface with some informational molecules attached inside of this membrane body, right?

Reproductive health (maternal and child health, family planning, adolescent health, men's health, women's health, safe motherhood).

It has been proposed that a blood sample should be taken from every child born in hospitals of the National Health System and that the sample should be tested so that mental retardation of metabolic origin (congenital hypothyroidism) can be detected early and corrective medical measures can be taken. Detection and treatment of cancer of the cervix and uterus and breast cancer

So when we think about scaling up metabolic materials, we can start thinking about ecological interventions like repair of atolls, or reclamation of parts of a city that are damaged by water.

Fats, carbohydrates, fructose, and glucose are all metabolized differently in the body. Furthermore, you are what you do with what you eat.Combining fat and carbohydrate places high demands on the metabolic process.

These studies are providing considerable information not only for long term space habitation but, more importantly to the general population, on muscle deterioration and metabolic changes in women after extended confinement in bed.

200. The International Atomic Energy Agency contributed funds to the UNU Brucellosis Research Network for the development of better diagnostic methods and is involved with the University s metabolic studies on nutrition and infection.
