Carbohydrates, often referred to as “carbs,” are macronutrients that serve as one of the primary energy sources for the body.

The acids weaken enamel, while sugars feed acid-producing bacteria, creating a dual attack on dental health that can accelerate damage when these fruits are consumed frequently.

Simple sugar acids crucial for cell metabolism could form in star-forming regions like the Orion Nebula (pictured), lab experiments suggest. Advanced telescopes could be used to search for these ...

Uric acid is taken up in adipocytes by an organic anion transporter where it induces oxidative stress via activation of NADPH oxidase, generating oxidized lipids and inflammatory mediators such as ...

The team uncovered a low-temperature synthetic pathway for the production of glyceric acid, a simple sugar acid that's essential to metabolism — the process by which organisms break down food ...

The intake of added sugars, such as from table sugar (sucrose) and high-fructose corn syrup has increased dramatically in the last hundred years and correlates closely with the rise in obesity ...
