Problem: A recently published study has shown that blocking the enzyme, prolyl hydroxylase 3 (PHD3) in mice led to fat metabolism and increased exercise endurance. PHD3 also has an effect on metabolism by mitochondria in cancerous cells, and how glucose and lipids are stored and released. Rarely do enzymes exist in a vacuum - meaning that the enzyme itself, or the trickle down reactions affect many processes in our bodies.
Pick an enzyme that has been in the news or research studies recently that has multiple effects in our bodies and share what you find.
We often discover these multiple effects while looking for cancer or other serious disease treatments, or weight-loss solutions.
