When people use the word “metabolism” they are often referring to catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism is the breaking down of compounds to release energy, while anabolism is the building of ...

Anabolic pathways then build new molecules out of the products of catabolism, and these pathways ... adjust the flow of molecules through metabolic pathways in response to energy needs.

A second area of concentration is in the role of heme and iron metabolism in cellular homeostasis and in protection from organ failure. These studies are approached through the creation of unique ...
