Drevets et al. (1997) have previously demonstrated increased resting metabolism in a more ventral subgenual cingulate region in manic patients. It is possible, therefore, that reduced synaptic pruning (and therefore, elevated glucose metabolism) will be a symptom shared by several different groups with developmental disorders. He believes that: "the field needs some application successes, tools to understand biological systems, and the consideration of features of biological creatures such as metabolism". Once evolution got started, this fact would be reflected in the evolution of metabolism. We have just seen that metabolism is even more fundamental than evolution, since non-reproducing organisms are conceivable and may once have lived. The only advantage of adopting a weaker form of metabolism is that it allows virtual life and that is not sufficiently persuasive. The two studies that examined the response of horses to alterations in exercise reported that both bone metabolism markers and bone quality were altered. This pilot study provided tentative evidence of alterations in brain energy and phospholipid metabolism in autism that correlate with the neuropsychologic and language deficits. A life-on-a-chip detection device could collect an environmental sample and measure the metabolism of a single cell. Developmentally related changes in the uptake and metabolism of glucose, glutamine and pyruvate by cattle embryos produced in vitro. Conflicting data exist concerning the importance of metabolism in the loss of viability of stored hydrated seeds. This role for nonoxidative metabolism allows steady-state energy measurements to provide insights into rapid millisecond events. However, ' metabolism ' is normally used to mean more than mere energy dependency. Mitochondrial metabolism is critically dependent on these structures remaining intact.
