METABOLISM

This study looked at how regular exercise changes appetite and metabolism in sedentary, overweight teenagers. Researchers randomly assigned 31 teens to either a 3-month exercise program or a control group. They measured hunger levels and metabolic function to see if exercise, reg…

This study looked at how different levels of processing in plant-based protein foods (like veggie burgers or protein powders) affect the bacteria in your gut and your body's metabolism. Thirty-eight healthy adults took part. The goal was to understand, not to treat any disease.

This study explored how the number of calories in a meal and the time of day you eat affect your body's metabolism and blood vessel health. Researchers measured how 20 healthy adults burned energy and how their arteries responded after eating different meals. The goal was to unde…

This study looked at how short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) get into the blood when delivered to different parts of the gut. Thirteen healthy volunteers took capsules that released SCFAs in either the small intestine or the colon. Blood samples were then taken to measure how much re…

This study looked at whether eating a type of starch that feeds gut bacteria could help healthy adults run longer. 21 physically active people ate either a special starch or a regular one for a week, then did a 5km treadmill run. Researchers measured how their bodies used energy …

This study looked at how age and body fat affect inflammation in 100 veterans. Researchers wanted to see if losing a moderate amount of weight and increasing aerobic exercise could lower inflammation. The goal was to understand the link between body fat, aging, and health risks l…

This study looked at how short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) affect gut hormones when delivered to different parts of the gut. 28 healthy adults took capsules that released SCFAs in either the small intestine or colon. Researchers measured hormone levels in blood samples to see if th…

This study looked at tiny particles called extracellular vesicles that muscles release after a single workout. Researchers wanted to see if these particles carry signals to fat tissue in young, healthy, and obese adults. 38 participants did one session of resistance exercise, and…
