What factors explain energy usage patterns in the #brain? This study shows that the distribution of the key #metabolic marker cytochrome oxidase in the primate #visual system is not random but linked to functional responses (suggesting that resources match demand) @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/43VbmeX

UPF rules overlook gut microbiome markers tied to metabolic syndrome. A recent study (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12734455/) flags this gap, limiting FDA guidance. Try a personal N‑of‑1 diet test to spot your own effects. #gut-microbiome #ultraprocessed #metabolic-syndrome

Crocin carotenoids have many #medicinal benefits, but production is tricky.
Wang et al. report that #metabolic engineering may be the solution, producing a #rice germplasm that biosynthesizes crocin and other #carotenoids.

#Fish use more energy to stay still than previously thought
In a comparative study of 13 near neutrally buoyant species, we found that #metabolic rates during hovering were almost twice as high as during rest (when the fish supports its weight with the bottom of the tank). In some cases, they were even greater. These findings challenge the long standing assumption that fish can remain motionless in the water column at little physiological cost.

Fish use more energy to stay still than previously thought

Fish that appear to hang motionless in water are working harder than expected.
