What’s the deal with BMI, aka body mass index?
It takes mere minutes to calculate your body mass index, more commonly known as BMI, by using your height and weight. With countless online charts, you can find out not only what your BMI is, but which of its categorical classifications you fall into: underweight, normal, overweight or obese.

Breakthrough Study by SDRC Investigator Jonathan Long Uncovers the Connection Between PTER and Taurine Metabolism in the Fight Against Obesity
Jonathan Long's team has uncovered a link between PTER and taurine metabolism in mice, revealing its potential to combat weight gain and metabolic disorders thus paving the way for innovative anti-obesity drugs through a novel GLP1R-independent pathway.
