Extracellular matrix remodelling in obesity and metabolic disorders

Vishal Musale, David H. Wasserman, Li Kang · 26 May 2023

Obesity causes extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling which can develop into serious pathology and fibrosis, having metabolic effects in insulin-sensitive tissues. The ECM components may be increased in response to overnutrition. This review will focus on specific obesity-associated molecular and pathophysiological mechanisms of ECM remodelling and the impact of specific interactions on tissue metabolism. In obesity,…

Mitochondria as multifaceted regulators of ferroptosis

Jingyi Guo, Yunhao Zhou, Dingfei Liu et al. · 1 Oct 2022

Mitochondria are well known to be "energy factories" of the cell as they provide intracellular ATP via oxidative phosphorylation. Interestingly, they also function as a "cellular suicidal weapon store" by acting as a key mediator of various forms of regulated cell death, including apoptosis, pyroptosis, necroptosis, and ferroptosis. Ferroptosis, distinct from the other types of…

Obesity: an evolutionary context

John R. Speakman, Joel K. Elmquist · 29 Apr 2022

People completely lacking body fat (lipodystrophy/lipoatrophy) and those with severe obesity both show profound metabolic and other health issues. Regulating levels of body fat somewhere between these limits would, therefore, appear to be adaptive. Two different models might be contemplated. More traditional is a set point (SP) where the levels are regulated around a fixed…

Myokines: metabolic regulation in obesity and type 2 diabetes

Zhi-Tian Chen, Zhi-Xuan Weng, Jiandie D. Lin et al. · 29 Feb 2024

Skeletal muscle plays a vital role in the regulation of systemic metabolism, partly through its secretion of endocrine factors which are collectively known as myokines. Altered myokine levels are associated with metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D). The significance of interorgan crosstalk, particularly through myokines, has emerged as a fundamental aspect of nutrient…

Sirtuins are not conserved longevity genes

Charles Brenner · 22 Sep 2022

Abstract It is central to biology that sequence conservation suggests functional conservation. Animal longevity is an emergent property of selected traits that integrates capacities to perform physical and mental functions after reproductive maturity. Though the yeast SIR2 gene was nominated as a longevity gene based on extended replicative longevity of old mother cells, this is…

Life Metabolism template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Life Metabolism format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Life Metabolism template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Life Metabolism use?
Life Metabolism uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Life Metabolism, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Life Metabolism?
No. DocuGuru generates the oup-authoring-template LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Oxford University Press-ready Life Metabolism document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Life Metabolism template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Life Metabolism format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Life Metabolism?
Life Metabolism is a multidisciplinary journal published by Oxford University Press. DocuGuru's Life Metabolism template matches Oxford University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Life Metabolism PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Life Metabolism template (the oup-authoring-template class) that is ready to submit to Oxford University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Life Metabolism template cost?
You can start writing in the Life Metabolism template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Life Metabolism PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
