metabolism

Preposition: of

• carbohydrate: Intense physical activity requires an increased supply of energy, and stimulates the metabolism of all carbohydrate, protein and fat.
• lipid: Adiponectin: regulates the metabolism of lipids and glucose and influences the body's response to insulin.
• glucose: Normally, the metabolism of glucose produces ATP, which binds to and closes the channel.

Converse of object

• inhibit: Hence, strong inhibitors of this enzyme may inhibit the metabolism of clarithromycin, resulting in increased plasma concentrations of clarithromycin.
• stimulate: The pills also purport to stimulate the metabolism, breaking down fat.
• regulate: Iodine is required by the thyroid glands which regulates body metabolism.
• mediate: Such blockages will disrupt the balance of all circadian mediated metabolism throughout the body.
• accelerate: I've read on an on-line debate on smoking that chrome and iodine accelerate the metabolism.

Adjective modifier

• anaerobic: The tissues have to undergo anaerobic metabolism, producing lactate, to meet the energy needs of essential processes within the tissue.
• oxidative: Minimal oxidative metabolism ( a phase I reaction ) has been observed in all species evaluated.
• hepatic: However use of these agents are not recommended below one year of age due to the possibility of immature renal function and hepatic metabolism.
• aerobic: The process by which muscles obtain energy from glucose in the presence of oxygen is called aerobic metabolism.
• folate: Rarely, inactivation of vitamin B12 may occur which can then interfere with folate metabolism which can result in bone marrow changes.
• fatty: Main current research is a BBSRC project on microarray analysis to study gene regulation of polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism.

Noun used with modifier

• lipid: Main current research is on the transcriptional control of lipid metabolism in farmed fish species, funded by the EU.
• carbohydrate: No reports of adverse effects on lipids or carbohydrate metabolism.
• first-pass: Nicotine is also subject to a significant first-pass metabolism.
• glucose: The results show that no single enzyme controls glucose metabolism.
• lipoprotein: Other inherited disorders of lipoprotein metabolism are rarely expressed in childhood.
• purine: Methotrexate which interferes with purine metabolism was introduced almost 50 years ago.
