Brain, aging and neurodegeneration: role of zinc ion availability.
TL;DR: The scientific debate on the role of zinc and of some zinc-binding proteins in aging and Neurodegenerative disorders, as well as on the beneficial effect of zinc supplementation in aged brain and neurodegeneration, is extensively discussed in this review.
Journal ArticleDOI
The metabolic basis of dual periodicity of feeding in rats
TL;DR: Evidence indicates that glucose uptake rate in tissues, which is modulated by fat synthesis and fat mobilization, affects the periodic onset of feeding and the difference between nocturnal and diurnal postprandial satiety.
Journal ArticleDOI
Medical complications of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.
