Leptin, a 16-kDa protein derived principally from adipose tissue, has been implicated in body weight homeostasis (weight loss) by reducing appetite and by increasing energy... 

Around 23 million tormes of cottonseeds and their derivatives are fed to animals every year. This comprises 6.8 million tonnes of whole cottonseeds, and 16.4 million tonnes of cottonseed hulls and meal by-products of the extraction of cottonseed oil. These materials are rich in energy protein, fibre, and minerals such as potassium, sodium, magnesium and phosphorus, and can represent as much as 25% of a dairy herds total nutritive ration. ...

Energy functions derived from first principles are typically used to evaluate binding affinities between proteins and putative ligands. Although some bridging attempts have been made recently [99,100], sophisticated techniques such as free-energy perturbation [12] or linear response theory [101,102] are currently too slow to be of use in molecular docking applications. Fast functions have been developed that... 

In the current model, fat contributed 24% of the total energy derived from all wild plant food (n = 768), whereas carbohydrate (62% energy) and protein (14%) comprised the balance of plant food energy. The mean fatty acid breakdown for 64 cultivated equivalent category plant foods was 22.4% saturated fatty acids, 28.6% monounsaturated fatty acids, and 49% polyunsaturated fatty acids. Accordingly, in our model, 5.4% of plant food energy was derived from saturated fat. 

The fuels of the human body are the sugars, lipids, and proteins derived from food (see I Figure 12.1). The reactions that release energy from these substances are among the body s most important biochemical processes. In this chapter, we will study an introduction to nutrition and how cells extract energy from food.
