Fasting sends the muscle stem cells of mice into a deep resting state that slows muscle repair but also makes them more resistant to stress, a study finds.

Research findings indicate that keto diets may be a safe and effective option for people with polycystic kidney disease, PKD.

The first dinosaurs had metabolisms akin to today's birds. "Dinosaurs included remarkably swift and agile animals," says Derek Briggs.

Proponents of intermittent fasting say the clock can help you win the battle of the bulge. But the science behind it is a little more complicated.

Discovery of a protein that regulates body weight in mice could lead to treatments for metabolic disorders and for people experiencing harmful weight loss.

Two studies with rats suggest that opioid use before pregnancy could lead to significant health problems for offspring.

A discovery in mice about the role imprinted genes play in the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease could lead to new treatments.

Fat cells and cancer cells talk to each other. Specialists in both systems can do the same.

Months not eating or moving don’t result in muscle wasting and loss of function for animals that hibernate. New research found gut microbes help their hosts hold onto and use nitrogen to build proteins.

A cancer drug that starves tumors of their energy supply may also improve whole body metabolism leading to improved weight control, a study with mice shows.
