Biological wastewater treatment relies on the diverse and complex metabolic activities of bacteria to remove pollutants. Its success depends on the metabolic efficiency of the bacteria. Activated sludge models use parameters that attempt to depict bacterial growth and metabolic processes. However, current methods do not separate metabolic activity from growth and maintenance. As a result, activated sludge processes are misinterpreted or over-simplified.

Abstract:
A high level of sedentary behaviour has recently emerged as a distinct risk factor for a number of diseases. On the other hand, a large body of evidence has shown that physical activity (PA) can prevent several illnesses. However, there are important issues regarding the accurate measurement of SB behaviour and physical activity in observational studies which are currently unresolved. Research is particularly needed to investigate the impact of characteristics of sedentary behaviour such as type/context, sedentary bout length, breaks in sedentary time on metabolic responses and accurate quanti

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are responsible for an increasing number of hospitalised patients, with the large majority of these ADRs classed as either type A or type B. Drug hypersensitivity reactions fall within the type B category and one such drug responsible for this form of ADR is abacavir (ABC). ABC, a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, is used to treat the HIV-1 virus. It is responsible for a potentially life-threatening type IV hypersensitivity reaction which occurs in patients bearing the HLA-B*57:01 allele.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is an autoimmune chronic disease that has undergone drastic changes on its clinical natural history in the last decades. Until the early XX century, the diagnosis of diabetes would mean a fatal outcome in few weeks or months. The evidence of hyperglycemia associated with abrupt polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia and weight loss in a child or a young person determined a diagnosis of failure of insulin secretion, metabolic catabolism and death.

Abstract:
Metabolic disorders are commonly associated with obesity, a condition where excess caloric intake leads to massive adipose tissue (AT) expansion and eventual dysfunction. When adipose tissue loses its ability to store excess energy properly, lipids accumulate in non-adipose tissues such as liver, and muscle. This ectopic lipid deposition is a significant risk factor in the development of a collection of disorders described as metabolic syndrome. While metabolic syndrome is typically linked with obesity, patients who have an inability to develop adipose tissue depots (lipodystrophy) develop sim

Abstract:
Secreted by adipose tissue, leptin acts as a signal of energy reserve status, and acts in the brain as a negative feedback mechanism to suppress food intake and increase energy expenditure, the net effect of which is maintenance of energy homeostasis. In addition to its role as a satiety factor, leptin has widespread autonomic effects, increasing sympathetic tone to a variety of tissues, including those involved in arterial pressure regulation. Thus, leptin has been implicated as a critical link between obesity and hypertension. However, the specific mechanisms whereby leptin elicits its diver

Abstract:
Thesis (Sc.D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, 1998.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 98-109).<br>The control of oxidative metabolism was studied using carbon-13 (13C) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to determine the ratelimiting steps in 13C labeling of glutamate. 13C NMR spectra were acquired from isolated rabbit hearts perfused with either 2.5 mM [2- 13C] acetate or 2.5 mM [2- 13C] butyrate, and with or without KCl arrest. The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle flux and the interconversion rate between (-ketoglutarate and glutama
