THE formation of bilirubin and its elimination from the body as a waste product of heme catabolism require a series of metabolic alterations and transport processes. Partial or complete failure at ...

Red blood cell maturation depends on heme production, but ammonium can accumulate if not removed, causing oxidative stress.

While hemoglobin heme undergoes synthesis in erythrocytes and ultimate degradation in the reticuloendothelial system (12), the final products of heme catabolism catalyzes the breakdown of heme into ...

Frequently eating red meat may increase concentrations of heme iron in the body, and therefore the risk of type 2 diabetes, according to a new study.

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 ...

Metabolism is a series of processes that control your body's storage and use of energy. Learn how it affects your lifestyle & how your lifestyle affects your metabolism.

Study explores the impact of natural compounds on bilirubin production and heme catabolic pathway modulation, highlighting their potential in treating neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases.

Here’s why. Metabolism, catabolism, and anabolism Your metabolism is the collection of processes by which your body uses the things you eat and drink to keep you alive and healthy.

Since mutations in the TANGO2 gene cause a hereditary disease characterized by developmental delays and defects in metabolism, our finding that TANGO2 plays a role in heme homeostasis suggests ...

Elucidation of mitochondrial iron trafficking pathways is important for understanding heme and ISC synthesis and the pathogenesis of diseases due to disturbances in these pathways (1).

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis described for the first time the structure of a bifunctional protein, called CcsBA, that transports heme and attaches it to cytochromes. The study ...
