How humans evolved to be 'energetically unique' - Harvard Gazette

Humans have significantly higher metabolic rates than other primates, aiding in energy efficiency, cognitive development, and reproductive success.

Hummingbirds thrive on an extreme lifestyle. Here's how.

Hummingbirds exhibit unique adaptations that allow them to thrive despite extreme metabolic demands, making them a focus of scientific study.

NK2R control of energy expenditure and feeding to treat metabolic diseases - Nature

GLP-1 receptor agonists offer effective treatment for obesity and T2D, but their impact is reduced in individuals with both conditions.

How much energy does it take to make a baby? Researchers are rethinking what they know

Pregnancy energy demands are often underestimated, with actual costs significantly exceeding previous mathematical models, especially for humans.

Study Reveals Bird-Migration Mystery

Migrating birds may not save energy in warmer climates as previously assumed, challenging long-held beliefs about the benefits of migration.

Can You Walk off Your Belly Fat?

Caloric restriction is more effective for weight loss than exercise due to body's compensatory mechanisms.

Walking or running: for the same distance, which consumes more energy?

Running consumes more energy than walking due to greater vertical movement, requiring more force and energy without bringing one closer to the destination.

Dermatologists find ultraviolet irradiation increases appetite but prevents body weight gain

UV exposure affects norepinephrine, leptin levels, and subcutaneous fat, potentially influencing energy expenditure and offering new obesity treatment approaches.

Humans are one of the species that spend the most amount of energy on having a baby

Humans have one of the highest metabolic costs of reproduction among species. Total cost includes both energy in offspring and energy used to produce them.
Quantifying the real cost of reproduction can be complex and varies among different animal species due to various reproductive strategies and postnatal care practices.
