When SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, infects a human cell, it quickly begins to replicate by seizing the cell's existing metabolic machinery.
Pregnancy Diet Plays Role in Childs Future Weight by Anjanee Sharma on March 16, 2021 at 10:36 PM
Research finds that a mother s diet during pregnancy plays an important role in determining their child s BMI trajectory later in life. Since the pathways programming the metabolism, growth, and eating behaviors of a child are sensitive to in-utero influences, childhood weight issues may originate during pregnancy.
Dr. Carmen Monthé-Drèze, lead author, says, To date, studies linking maternal nutrition during pregnancy to offspring growth have focused on the newborn and early-childhood period, with limited data extending later into childhood.
The researchers wanted to understand dynamic growth changes that occur from childhood through adolescence due to maternal nutrition during pregnancy. Particularly, they wanted to see if there are distinct periods between birth and adolescence when weight gain rates are more susceptible to the programming effects o
Consumption of added sugar boosts fat production in the liver
Too much sugar is unhealthy – that we know, but it’s not just down to the many calories. Even moderate amounts of added fructose and sucrose double the body’s own fat production in the liver, researchers from the University of Zurich have shown. In the long term, this contributes to the development of diabetes or a fatty liver.
Sugar is added to many common foodstuffs, and people in Switzerland consume more than 100 grams of it every day. The high calorie content of sugar causes excessive weight and obesity, and the associated diseases. But does too much sugar have any other harmful effects if consumed regularly? And if so, which sugars in particular?
Ketogenesis has a protective effect on mitochondria, finds study
Ketone bodies are generally an alternative energy source during starvation, but in newborns, ketogenesis is active regardless of nutritional status. In a recent study from Kumamoto University (Japan), researchers analyzed the effects of ketogenesis in mice and found that it has a protective effect on cells by maintaining the function of mitochondria. They expect that this effect can be used in future therapies for protecting mitochondria and organs.
Ketones, along with glucose and fatty acids, are metabolites used as energy sources. In particular, ketones are known to be an alternative energy source during periods of fasting or starvation. However, ketogenesis is known to be active in the neonatal period regardless of the number of calories consumed during nursing, and role it plays in newborns is not well understood.
मेटाबॉलिज्म और वेट लॉस (Metabolism and Weight loss)
अगर आप भी उनमें से हैं जो अपना वजन घटाने को लेकर बहुत कॉन्शियस रहते हैं तो आप अपने डाइटिशियन से, जिम इंस्ट्रक्टर से या अपने सर्कल के लोगों से मेटाबॉलिज्म या चयापचय के बारे में सुनते रहते होंगे। अधिकतर लोगों को बस ये पता होता है कि अगर आपका मेटाबॉलिज्म (Metaboolism in hindi) अच्छा है तो वजन को बढ़ने से रोका जा सकता है। लेकिन क्या आप ये जानते हैं कि असल में
