Ep 24. From Biochemistry to Molecular Biology

Trace the pathways of two widely ingested molecules: caffeine and fructose. Caffeine fools the body (usually harmlessly) into increasing glucose in the blood, while too much fructose can lead to unhealthy accumulation of fat in the liver. Then focus on two topics that link with the upcoming molecular biology segment of the series: androgen insensitivity and the molecular mechanisms of aging.
