Number of pages: 70
Description:
This presentation describes structural and functional properties of the cerebral circulation that are unique to the brain, an organ with high metabolic demands, and the need for tight water and ion homeostasis. Autoregulation is pronounced in the brain, with myogenic, metabolic, and neurogenic mechanisms contributing to maintain relatively constant blood flow during both increases and decreases in pressure.

Energy Metabolism
by Patrick Christian Even (ed.) - Frontiers Media SA
Energy metabolism is central to life and altered energy expenditure is responsible for development of the obese phenotype. Energy expenditure is the sum of resting EE, EE of physical activity, cold-induced thermogenesis and thermic effect of feeding.
