Specifically, a dramatic increase in species of Bifidobacterium was observed, including some known to
metabolize lactose.
Washington, February 20 ( ANI ): The ability to
metabolize ethanol - the alcohol in beer, wine and spirits - might have originated in the common ancestor of chimpanzees, gorillas and humans roughly 10 million years ago, perhaps when this ancestor became more terrestrial and started eating fruits fermenting on the ground, according to scientists.
Two slices
metabolize into the blood sugar equivalent of eight teaspoons of table sugar.
A: Diabetes is a disorder characterized by abnormally high levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood and abnormalities in the body's level of insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps body cells
metabolize glucose for energy.
The method comprises the following steps a) introducing into a cell at least one desired nucleotide sequence and at least one selection-nucleotide sequence to obtain a genetically transformed cell, wherein the selection-nucleotide sequence comprises a region which codes for a protein involved in the metabolizing of trehalose; b) placing a population with transformed and non-transformed cells into contact with trehalose and/or derivative thereof; and c) selecting the transformed cells from the population on the basis of the capacity of the transformed cells to
metabolize the trehalose and/or derivative.
Now consider the value of knowing a priori, through genetic testing, that your patient can
metabolize drug Y, but not drug X.
In an effort to determine whether individual differences in the ability to further
metabolize and neutralize MEHP might explain this relationship, the researchers also calculated the percentage of MEHP relative to the other metabolites.
(This would be the equivalent of about 1.5 servings of soy for the average two-year-old or four servings of soy for the average four-year-old.) Certainly, there may be differences in the way that infants absorb and
metabolize soy isoflavones, as compared to older children and adults.

Metabolize and $ave has taken the mass market, and chain drug stores in particular, by storm, according to executives at the supplier.
Five different body organs help to break down (
metabolize) food into small units of nutrients.
PKU is an inherited inability to
metabolize the common amino acid phenylalanine, a byproduct of digestion essential for life.
Wetmur and his team are also switching gears to search for enzymes that
metabolize phthalates and phenols, as well as for genetic variation in these enzymes that might affect birth or growth outcomes.
