Our bodies are truly excellent at holding onto fat. “We absorb more than 95% of what we consume,” says Kimberly Buhman, professor of nutrition science. She studies how the body processes lipids, a ...

Now, for the first time, a team of biologists has identified a type of bacteria that resides in the digestive tract and increases the intake of fat into the intestine.

A digestion byproduct derived from high-fat animal products and previously found to increase the risk of heart disease has now also been linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to a ...

Animal physiology encompasses the coordinated functions of multiple organ systems that ensure survival, adaptation and homeostasis in diverse species. From the cardiovascular and respiratory ...

summary Digestive enzymes help break down proteins, fats, and carbs into smaller components. They’re produced naturally by your body and are also found in supplement form.

Principal investigator Ibra Fancher, assistant professor of kinesiology and applied physiology in UD’s College of Health Sciences, discovered significant differences in gene expression in adipose ...
