Metabolism and Disease
Time is my enemy right now but I wanted to share the article how Abnormal metabolism is at the heart of some serious health problems (such as obesity, diabetes and cancer) as a reference others will find useful.
My intention is to review this seminal article but I just haven’t had the time. It is also behind a pay wall which is common for many scientific articles so my apologies if you can’t reach it.
For reference the title of the research paper is ‘Circadian topology of metabolism’ by Joseph bass published in the journal Nature.
