Researchers studied heme synthesis in brown fat and found it was essential for thermogenesis and branched-chain amino acid ...

Researchers identified a significant link between heme iron—iron found in red meat and other animal products —and risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), as well as the metabolic pathways underlying the link.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
