• And it’s not just in our bodies: all animals carry out this dance of metabolism, and it turns out none of them do it quite the same way.
• These fingerprints reveal how different creatures meet the demands of survival, growth and reproduction – and offer a whole new way to understand metabolism in unprecedented detail.

A more detailed picture

• For example, the most common kind of carbon is carbon-12, but there is also an isotope called carbon-13 that is a little heavier.
• More recently, scientists have been able to measure isotopes in each of the 20 individual amino acids that make up proteins.
• It’s like seeing every pixel in the TV image, which gives us amazingly detailed metabolic info.

Finding the right carbon

• We used a chemical called ninhydrin to chop off and isolate the carbon atom we wanted from each amino acid.
• We then sent these carbon atoms – from a very metabolically active part of the amino acid called the carboxyl group – through a machine called a mass spectrometer to read their isotope fingerprints.

The four phases of metabolism

• We identified four distinct phases of metabolism: creating fats, destroying fats, creating proteins, and destroying proteins.
• Animals combine these phases in distinct ways to accomplish growth and reproduction.
• By peering deep into the isotopes of amino acids, we will be able to understand eukaryote metabolism like never before, in animals, plants and fungi.

• According to the participants, the port bulk commodity trade in the form of indices can be digitally presented to realize the efficient linkage between port shipping and bulk commodity trade and offer reliable guidance for the smooth operation of the global industrial chain and supply chain.
• Following the "Xinhua-Baltic International Shipping Center Development Index", the China Economic Information Service (CEIS) has introduced another global port and shipping assessment index -- the International Shipping Hubs Development Index Report (2023).
• This report evaluates the overall development of the world's main shipping hubs and port clusters based on various categories and characteristics.
• CEIS and Shandong Port Group jointly released the Xinhua-SPG Port Bulk Commodity Index, which has been constantly upgraded and improved since its debut in 2021.

• JUPITER, FL, Aug. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jupiter Wellness , Inc.

• And despite the misconception that lipids harm your skin by causing oiliness and acne, they actually play a vital role in maintaining the skin barrier.
• Lipids – organic compounds that include fats, oils, waxes and other types of molecules – are essential components of the outermost layer of skin.
• For example, by increasing the lipid content in skin cells, propionic acid reduced water loss through the skin.
• We also found that the lipids skin cells produce after exposure to C. acnes or propionic acid have antimicrobial effects against C. acnes.
