“When supplementation raises circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D, more substrate becomes available for this activation. Stronger vitamin D signaling helps reduce inflammation and regulate glucose metabolism, in part by supporting insulin production and efficiency.”

“Findings from a recent study suggest that organic LEDs (OLEDs), which produce less light in the blue-wave spectrum, have fewer harmful effects on human metabolism. Light exposure is one of the primary regulators of the body's circadian rhythms and plays key roles in sleep quantity and quality.”

“FTA: > Oleate, a common dietary fat found in olive oil, restored proper metabolism of fuel in an animal model of heart failure, researchers report. Heart failure affects nearly 5 million Americans, and more than half a million new cases are diagnosed each year.”

“The researchers suggest several explanations, including that the processing may increase the usable energy of foods or influence hormones that regulate appetite and metabolism. Packaging chemicals and additives might also contribute through subtle endocrine effects.”

“FTA: > The widely used food supplement glucosamine promotes longevity in aging mice by approximately 10 percent due to improved glucose metabolism. Researchers find that the compound does so 'by mimicking a low-carb diet in elderly mice reflecting human retirees.'”

“The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study involved 32 overweight or obese adults who were insulin-resistant, a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. The participants were randomized to receive either live A. muciniphila (10^10 bacteria per day), pasteurized A.”

“The mechanisms by which added sugars lead to metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and fatty liver disease have been explored in research using mouse models; however, the dose of sugar used in these animal studies is usually much larger than what is normally consumed by people.”

“Evidence suggests that coffee consumption reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease-related deaths and certain types of cancer. Findings from a new study suggest that caffeine in coffee improves fat metabolism when consumed prior to exercise.”

“To fight the formation of these fibrils, however, a molecule would have to cross the blood-brain barrier -- a series of cell junctions that prevent certain substances from entering the brain.”

“Glucose metabolism indicators, such as fasting glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels, improved equally in both groups, as did lipid levels, liver enzymes, and inflammatory markers.”
