3.   There thus seems to be quantitative differences in the metabolic processes concerned.

4.   Stoichiometric procedures also help the biochemist to follow the metabolic processes that take place in organisms.

5.   Soy isoflavones, which recent research suggests can help prevent some cancers, holds promise, as does alpha-lipoic acid, which helps certain metabolic processes.

6.   The body needs water at the cellular level for a host of metabolic processes, including kidney, gastrointestinal and brain functions, Pacheco said.
