The Social Metabolism A Socio-Ecological Theory of Historical Change


Free Download The Social Metabolism: A Socio-Ecological Theory of Historical Change by Manuel González de Molina , Víctor M. Toledo
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 434 Pages | ISBN : 303148410X | 33.9 MB
This book helps readers to understand the fast growing and timely concept of social metabolism. The authors shed a light on the different existing terms and methodologies that have been developed over the years. Through the study of history, readers will get an understanding of the main currents or schools that exist around this concept and their main findings. Also provides examples of how to apply the metabolic approach at different territorial and temporal scales and using different methodological tools. The book presents a novel socio-metabolic theory of historical change, in which biophysical and social variables are combined in an integrated way to understand the dynamics of socio-metabolic transitions.

Metabolism Makeover Ditch the Diet, Train Your Brain, Drop the Weight for Good [Audiobook]


Free Download Megan Hansen (Author, Narrator), "Metabolism Makeover: Ditch the Diet, Train Your Brain, Drop the Weight for Good"
English | ASIN: B0CN7RRN9H | 2023 | M4B@64 kbps | ~04:09:00 | 106 MB
We’ve been taught by the diet industry that the key to weight-loss success is eating less and exercising more. Both research and experience have proven this theory wrong. Yet we continue to count calories, eliminate carbs, track macronutrients, and cut out entire food groups because the only thing scarier than failing at another diet is trusting ourselves enough not to be on one at all.
It’s time to ditch the diet and learn how our bodies actually work. In Metabolism Makeover, registered dietitian nutritionist Megan Hansen strips away the complexity and confusion surrounding dieting and replaces them with a simple framework that will give you the tools to:
Learn the science behind the six key pillars of the Metabolic Ecosystem-blood sugar control, muscle, movement, stress management, good sleep, and a healthy gut-and how to adjust each pillar to fit your lifestyle.

Digestive System & Metabolism


Free Download Dr. Tommy Mitchell, "Digestive System & Metabolism "
English | ISBN: 1683440692 | 2018 | 112 pages | PDF | 44 MB
On the surface, the digestive system begins with the teeth and tongue, connects through the stomach, the liver, the gallbladder, the pancreas, and other organs as well. Beyond the obvious, the function of digestion is a highly complex system created by God to transform food into fuel for our energy, something called metabolism, and to take waste from the body.

Drug Metabolism and Transport Molecular Methods and Mechanisms


Free Download Drug Metabolism and Transport: Molecular Methods and Mechanisms By Adnan A. Elfarra (auth.), Lawrence H. Las (eds.)
2005 | 388 Pages | ISBN: 1588293246 | PDF | 3 MB
Remarkable advances in molecular and cell biology and the development of novel in vitro model systems have greatly expanded our knowledge of the processes involved in metabolism and transport and led to numerous new therapeutic approaches. In Drug Metabolism and Transport: Molecular Methods and Mechanisms, well-established investigators describe their best experimental approaches and strategies for studying the bioactivation, detoxification, tissue distribution, and elimination of xenobiotics in the metabolism and/or transport of various chemicals. The authors address several of the major drug metabolizing systems, including the cytochrome P450 family, flavin-containing monooxygenases, glutathione, glucuronidation, N-acetylation, and sulfotransferases. Additional chapters present novel approaches to the study of: signaling pathways in the regulation of drug metabolism enzymes, how the modulation of thiols and other low-molecular-weight cofactors can alter drug metabolism, and how modulation of drug metabolism pathways can influence antiviral therapy. The strategies detailed for transport phenomena cover the multidrug resistance proteins, the reduced folate carrier, the plasma membrane, and mitochondrial glutathione transporters, and can be applied to numerous other transport systems. Many chapters contain step-by-step methods for investigating metabolism and transport. Insightful and broad-ranging, Drug Metabolism and Transport: Molecular Methods and Mechanisms offers novice and experienced investigators alike a highly useful compendium of key strategies and approaches to successful research on drug metabolism and transport pathways.

Principles of Microbial Metabolism and Metabolic Ecology


Free Download Principles of Microbial Metabolism and Metabolic Ecology by Alfred M. Spormann
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 344 Pages | ISBN : 3031282175 | 62.4 MB
This textbook examines the fundamental principles of microbial metabolism and how a microbe’s ecology is intrinsically interwoven with and a consequence of its metabolism. Further, it answers many questions frequently asked by students, such as: What are the mechanistic connections between simple phenotypic traits, ecological patterns and microbial metabolism and diversity? In the process, readers will be introduced to essential topics like metabolism and metabolic pathways, flux of energy and nutrients, genome size and fitness, competition, selection and drift.
