Document Summary
Muscle can last on fatty acids very well. Type 1: autoimmune disease, body attacks insulin releasing cells. Storage of energy as fat is very efficient. Carbohydrates require lots of water weight in order to store. Metabolism the sum of biochemical processes involved in the synthesis, breakdown, and inter- conversion of constituents in cells and organisms. Intermediary metabolism is where anabolism and catabolism intersect, often sharing pathways and metabolites. Because the pathways of intermediary metabolism are essential for life, they are tightly regulated through a variety of mechanisms. To simultaneously assess expression levels of thousands of genes. To assess the origins and development of disease, the subtypes of disease; disease prognosis (e. g. , in cancer); treatment outcomes. Cluster-type approaches assess levels of transcripts, proteins or metabolites in relation to known pathways and biological functions. Proteomics: protein expression levels, and post-translational modifications expression levels and characteristics of proteins.
