In storage organs, fruit or seed, during the development and maturation of the tissue, synthesis of starch occurs. At the time of sprouting or germination of the seed or tuber, or ripening of the fruit, starch degradation in these tissues can occur and the derived metabolites are used as a source both for carbon and energy.

Adipose tissue is a metabolically dynamic organ that is the primary site of storage for excess energy but it serves as an endocrine organ capable of synthesizing

As an energy storage organ, adipose tissue stores TGs and releases fatty acids through lipogenesis and lipolysis, respectively. Systemically, feeding stimulates the lipogenic pathway and storage of TGs in the adipose tissue, while fasting induces the activation of lipolytic pathway and promotes the breakdown of TGs and release of fatty acids

The mechanisms mediating IRI in donor organs are multi-fold and beyond the scope of this article to delineate [4], [31], [36], [76].However, in broad conceptual terms, IRI is due to events subsequent to the effects of cellular energy depletion, anaerobic metabolism with substrate depletion and accumulation of metabolic waste products

Adipose tissue is an endocrine organ and a crucial regulator of energy storage and systemic metabolic homeostasis. Additionally, adipose tissue is a pivotal

Long-term energy storage only involves conversion of glucose into fat, and this fat is majorly stored subcutaneously, especially under the belly. Therefore, it is critical to understand how communication and coordination of nutrients and energy metabolism in organs, tissues, and cells are conducted by performing quantitative analysis. 9.1

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are attractive in many fields due to their unique advantages. However, the practical applications of single MOF materials are limited. In recent years, a large number of MOF-based composites have been investigated to overcome the defects of single MOF materials to broaden the avenues for the practical

Adipose tissue remained understudied for decades due to the misconception that it was simply an inert energy storage depot, but recent discoveries of AT''s wider role in cell and whole-body signaling have created a scientific renaissance in this field. In humans, intra-abdominal fat refers to visceral AT, which surrounds the inner

Orgone (/ ˈ ɔːr ɡ oʊ n / OR-gohn) is a pseudoscientific concept variously described as an esoteric energy or hypothetical universal life force.Originally proposed in the 1930s by Wilhelm Reich, and developed by Reich''s student Charles Kelley after Reich''s death in 1957, orgone was conceived as the anti-entropic principle of the universe, a creative

Abstract. Organ transplantation is the most effective therapy for patients with end-stage disease. Preservation solutions and techniques are crucial for donor organ quality, which is directly related to morbidity and survival after transplantation. Currently, static cold storage (SCS) is the standard method for organ preservation.

Here, we uncover activin E as a regulator of adipose energy storage. By suppressing β-agonist-induced lipolysis, activin E promotes fat accumulation and adipocyte hypertrophy and contributes to adipose dysfunction in mice. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that activin E elicits its effect on adipose tissue through ACVR1C, activating

Skeletal muscle: not simply an organ for locomotion and energy storage. From Little Things Big Things Grow is a rock protest song recorded by Australian artists Paul Kelly and The Messengers in 1991. The song is based on the story of The Gurindji Strike and Vincent Lingiari as part of the Indigenous Australian struggle for land rights and

Liver is one of the primary sites of energy storage and is a central organ in glucose and lipid metabolism. Excess energy from the diet is stored in the form of glycogen in the liver, and once glycogen depots are full any additional excess energy is piled in the form of lipid in adipose tissue. Moreover, liver has an essential role in the

Multiple organ systems work together to absorb, store, sense and use chemical energy, and must communicate with one another to maximize the efficiency of

GSD, glycogen storage disorder. Mutations in genes encoding individual enzymes in the glycogen metabolism pathway lead to a class of diseases named glycogen storage disorders (GSDs), whereas defects in glucose oxidation are identified as glycolysis defects. Depending on the enzyme defect and its relative expression in the liver, kidney
