Researchers track down cause of a disfiguring bone disorder
...starting point for understanding the modulation of anabolic bone formation," noted team members Michaela Kneissel and Hansjoerg Keller of Novartis, "and ultimately have the potential to identify key molecular components that can be used as new therapeutic agents to treat individuals suffering from bone loss d...Animal models show that anabolic steroids flip the adolescent brain's switch for aggression

...therapy and for athletes taking growth hormone and anabolic steroids to increase muscle mass. The scientists suspect that reasoning and mood may also be affected by these differences in the amount of growth hormone in the brain. "Growth hormone has been associated with growth of muscles and bones, and the ...How mammals fuel milk production may have implications for cancer
...lipid synthesis must be coordinated to support the anabolic processes central to growth,?the researchers wrote. “In this regard, Akt1’s ability to act as a central regulator of nutrient uptake and utilization is consistent with the frequent observation of constitutive activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway in a w...Growth hormone to boost athletic performance risks diabetes

The authors believe that this is the first reported case of diabetes associated with th...Columbia scientists determine 3-dimensional structure of cell's 'fuel gauge'
...ra energy as fat. When ATP is low, AMPK turns off anabolic activities, and activates "catabolic" functions, like burning fat to make energy. AMPK provides an especially promising drug target for people with type 2 diabetes. These patients are insulin-resistant, meaning that their cells are not responsive...
