Spring/Summer 2023
As it turns out, our metabolisms have been misunderstood for decades. These Scripps Research scientists are changing the way we think about metabolic disorders, weight control and eating habits—paving the way for new drugs to treat some of the most serious health conditions our world faces today.
Our metabolism is made up of all the chemical processes that convert the calories we eat and drink into energy that can be used by the body.
