Metabolic disorder
A systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated the effectiveness of medical nutrition therapy (MNT) in managing metabolic disorders, showing significant improvements in glycemic control, anthropometric measures, lipid profiles, and blood pressure for adults with prediabetes when nutrition interventions are personalized.

Metabolic disorder
A meta-analysis of six cohort studies involving 484,994 participants was conducted, examining the relationship between metabolic syndrome and Alzheimer's disease risk, finding no significant overall association but identifying links between individual metabolic components and increased AD risk.

Metabolome
First comprehensive brain metabolome atlas of the mouse brain was released online, representing a significant milestone in understanding metabolic changes across different brain regions and life stages of a mammalian model.
July 2019 A scientific study at Kidd Mine in Canada discovered sulfur-breathing organisms living deep underground, which consume minerals like pyrite as their food source, demonstrating an extraordinary example of anaerobic respiration in an extreme environment.
2010 P450 Compound 1, a highly reactive intermediate in the cytochrome P450 enzyme mechanism, was first isolated. This iron(IV) oxo species has an additional oxidizing equivalent delocalized over the porphyrin and thiolate ligands.
