Drunk bats eat junk food Apr 16, 2008
The larger size could be driven by fermentation," he says Sweet tooth In a follow-up study, Snchezs team found that when bats consumed ethanol together with the sugar fructose, they expelled the ethanol from their system more quickly than if they consumed sucrose or glucose. Under normal circumstances, bats prefer sucrose over fructose and fructose over glucose, but the team expected intoxicated bats to prefer fructose. But that was not the case; instead, the bats desire for sucrose... (Nature News Service)
In most species, faithfulness is a fantasy Mar 18, 2008
But one trait decidedly not on display in Spitzer's splashy act of whole-life catabolism was originality. It's all been done before, every snickering bit of it, and not just by powerful "risk-taking" alpha men who may or may not be enriched for the hormone testosterone.

Burn patients, doctors face challenges Feb 17, 2008
Once it has used up the easily available energy, the body begins to feed on its lean muscle mass, a process called catabolism, he said. "The body very quickly, in a situation like that, switches over to using its own proteins to supply energy," he said. (The Augusta Chronicle)

Oil-eating bacteria make light work of heavy fuel Dec 13, 2007
In short, even if we introduce the CO2 to the system, the production of methane will depend on the catabolism of the hydrocarbons, albeit indirectly. Methanogenesis will continue only so long as hydrocarbon reserves hold out. (Nature News Service)
New Chimeric Mouse Model For Human Liver Diseases, Drug Testing Dec 6, 2007
An enzymatic defect in the tyrosine catabolism results in a toxic accumulation of byproducts within hepatocytes unless the mice are treated with a drug called NBTC.. Withdrawing the drug allows to selectively expand hepatocytes that do not have this defect, such as transplanted human hepatocytes. (Science Daily)

Plants And Stress: Key Players On The Thin Line Between Life And Death Revealed Aug 4, 2007
They control the activity of a broad network of genes, promoting the release of energy (catabolism) from alternative sources and blocking its assimilation (anabolism). In this way, the plant protects itself against stress conditions; like a really bad summer. (Science Daily)
LAB International announces positive results from its growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) phase II trial Jul 12, 2007
Resistance to endogenous growth hormone is believed to contribute to tissue catabolism, but can be overcome by administration of exogenous growth hormone at pharmacological doses. Administration of LAB GHRH may stimulate endogenous growth hormone release sufficiently to reverse loss of muscle mass particularly in pre-end stage CRF patients, in whom resistance mechanisms are not as marked yet while many patients are already malnourished.

Microarray analysis of gene expression induced by sexual contact in Schistosoma mansoni Jun 20, 2007
e. carbohydrate and protein metabolism, generation of precursor metabolites and energy, cellular catabolism, and organelle organization and biogenesis) while genes that were down-regulated related to RNA metabolism, reactive oxygen species metabolism, electron transport, organelle organization and biogenesis and protein biosynthesis. Conclusions: Our results confirm previous observations related to gene expression induced by sexual maturation in female schistosome worms. (BioMed Central)
Survival after Treatment for Urea-Cycle Disorders May 31, 2007
Conclusions Prompt recognition of a urea-cycle disorder and treatment with both sodium phenylacetate and sodium benzoate, in conjunction with other therapies, such as intravenous arginine hydrochloride and the provision of adequate calories to prevent catabolism, effectively lower plasma ammonium levels and result in survival in the majority of patients. Hemodialysis may also be needed to control hyperammonemia, especially in neonates and older patients who do not have a response to intravenous... (New England Journal of Medicine)

Prolonged muscle soreness, hormonal imbalances and protein catabolism may also be present for both anaerobic and aerobic exercisers. Symptoms of sympathetic overtraining most commonly affect younger trainees, whereas older trainees are most likely to show signs of parasympathetic overtraining. (Suite101.com)
The ups and downs of metabolism Feb 20, 2007
Metabolism has two distinct parts, which are anabolism and catabolism ... Catabolism is all of the cellular processes occurring which break down complex molecules to yield energy ... Think of catabolism as breaking something down into its basic parts, such as using stored fat for energy. (Lima News, OH)

New Player In Commitment To Life As A Fat Cell Feb 8, 2007
"This enzyme was originally known in association with the catabolism of purines into uric acid, the production of reactive oxygen species, and its involvement in gout. It has never been looked at in the context of fat development before.". The findings further suggest that adipose-tissue XOR may be a contributing factor to other symptoms commonly seen in obese individuals, including high blood levels of uric acid (hyperuricemia), the presence of plaque-forming lipids, and oxidative stress, the...

Coach in court to keep Budhia running May 9, 2006
Budhia, just four-and-a-half-years old, ran into the Limca Book of Records after he ran from Puri to Bhubaneswar in a marathon race and on Sunday doctors told CNN-IBN that the boy should not be made to run long distances as his protein catabolism was more and he was under cardiological stress due to long-distance running. Biranchi Das, Budhias coach, has reacted sharply to the doctors' order, saying that the medical examination was a conspiracy. (CNN-IBN)
