GLP-1 drugs have transformed weight loss by suppressing appetite. The other half of the equation — helping the body burn more energy — has received less attention. Focusing on metabolic studies in ...

Higher intake of heme iron, the type found in red meat and other animal products -- as opposed to non-heme iron, found mostly in plant-based foods -- was associated with a higher risk of developing ...

University of Maryland School of Medicine researchers have discovered that maturing red blood cells can import heme from surrounding cells via the HRG1 transporter, even after losing their ...

In a recent study published in Nature Metabolism, researchers combine traditional clinical indicators with cutting-edge metabolomics data to investigate the processes underlying dietary heme iron ...

A team of researchers has uncovered a previously unrecognized role of mitochondrial protein synthesis in the maintenance of intracellular iron distribution. Disruption of this process was found to ...
