Through a series of experiments in mice, the team discovered that changing the amount of these amino acids in the animals’ diet produced effects comparable to continuous cold exposure at five degrees Celsius.

Scientists Discover a Diet That Burns Fat Like Cold Exposure, Leading to Significant Weight Loss

By tweaking just two amino acids in the diet, researchers found a way to mimic the fat-burning effects of cold exposure.

Their work centered on two amino acids, methionine and cysteine.

Scientists Discover a Diet That Burns Fat Like Cold Exposure, Leading to Significant Weight Loss

By tweaking just two amino acids in the diet, researchers found a way to mimic the fat-burning effects of cold exposure. Shivering in the cold is hardly enjoyable, yet for some people, it carries an appealing side effect—the body uses more energy to stay warm than it does in comfortable temperature

Vitamin B12 adaptability in Antarctic algae has implications for climate change, life in the Southern Ocean

Vitamin B12 deficiency in people can cause a slew of health problems and even become fatal. Until now, the same deficiencies were thought to impact certain types of algae, as well. A new study has examined the algae Phaeocystis antarctica's (P. antarctica) exposure to a matrix of iron and vitamin B12 conditions. Results show that this algae has the ability to survive without B12, something that computer analysis of genome sequences had incorrectly indicated.

Scientists ratchet up key amino acid in corn

Experimental lines of field corn developed by a team of Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and university scientists will usher in new commercial hybrids offering high-methionine grain.

Here's a new exciting paper by my dear protistologist colleagues in Prague! This builds upon a project I was working on in my PhD. We explored a group of #protists that have, uniquely among #eukaryotes, completely lost their mitochondria, as well as their relatives with reduced mitochondria.

Reduced #mitochondria provide an essential function for the cytosolic #methionine cycle: Justyna Zítek et al. https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(22)01673-6

What purpose do reduced mitochondria serve?

A few years ago, scientists discovered a curious case of protozoa (oxymonads) that do not have mitochondria. Since then, the research group of Associate Professor Hampl from the Faculty of Science of Charles University and the BIOCEV research center has been asking how the unique loss of mitochondria occurred.
