“A specific chemical tag on DNA-packaging proteins increased in kidney, liver, and heart in both sexes, and in skeletal muscle in males. Increases in this chemical tag correlated with higher expression of lipid‐metabolism genes in female kidney and male heart.”

“The findings in this small study suggest that brief, reduced-exertion high-intensity training improves aerobic capacity and metabolic health in sedentary people despite a low time commitment (just 30 minutes per week) and relatively low effort.”

“A group of investigators recently performed a series of experiments with the aim of identifying mechanisms of sugar metabolism and sex hormone-binding globulin production. Sex hormone-binding globulin, which is produced by liver, transports sex hormones in the blood and regulates their uptake by sensitive tissues.”

“Acute sleep loss in humans leads to a gain in fat mass and loss of muscle mass due to a disrupted circadian clock that dysregulates metabolism in adipose tissue and decreases structural proteins in skeletal muscle.”

“This research was done by my colleagues and mentor, Dr. Bruce Ames, and showed that people eating terrible diets can improve their metabolism and decrease inflammation in just two months if they add micronutrients and fiber to their otherwise unhealthy diet.”

“Authors of a recent study detail their findings regarding the effects of avocatin B in carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Diet-induced obesity causes insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, in part due to lipotoxicity, although the exact mechanisms are unclear.”

“Signatures of donor bacteria could still be detected years later, and participants who took up more donor strains soon after treatment tended to retain more of them long term. The gut bacteriophages – viruses that infect bacteria – also showed lasting donor patterns.”

“It also increased the use of intramuscular triglycerides over glycogen in muscle tissue. Exercise while fasted also caused mitochondria to increase gene activity in genes related to fatty acid metabolism making them more efficient as using fat for energy.”

“Impaired brain glucose uptake and metabolism are pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease, and their manifestation typically precedes the onset of clinical symptoms. Impaired brain glucose uptake also plays a causal role in tau tangle formation, another hallmark of Alzheimer's disease.”

“Time-restricted eating (TRE), a ketogenic diet, and exercise improved cognitive function and markers of metabolism including triglycerides, VLDL, and HbA1c in a 71-year-old woman with ApoE4 that has mild Alzheimer's disease and metabolic syndrome (case study).”
