“Researchers collected nutrition-related blood biomarkers, brain images, and memory and intelligence scores of 111 older adults. Then, using a data-fusion approach, they investigated how these factors work together to promote brain and cognitive health in aging.”

“Its functions range from influencing muscle adaptation and heart fueling during exercise to moderating insulin release, carcinogenesis, and various aspects of health, including neurobiology and nutrition. This review describes the multiple roles of lactate in human physiology.”

“A new study shows that genetic differences influence how Hispanic Americans metabolize omega-3s. Researchers conducted a genome-wide association study, a type of observational study that searches the genome for minor variations in people's DNA within a particular population.”

“FTA: > The importance of nutrition for maintaining mental health has been highlighted by recent research. The human brain needs an adequate intake of key nutrients, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids Omega-3, essential amino acids, B-group vitamins (B12 and folate), vitamin D and minerals like zinc, magnesium and iron.”

“Mounting evidence suggests that nutrition plays a huge role in depression by affecting levels of systemic inflammation. Inflammatory molecules and cytokines are able to have these sort of effects is because they are able to cross over the blood-brain-barrier and disrupt neurotransmitter production and release.”

“Here’s an interesting report that didn't make it into this issue of the Digest. Fructose metabolism is a survival mechanism that drives nutritional intake, reduces resting metabolism, promotes fat and glycogen storage, and induces insulin resistance to preserve the brain's glucose supply.”

“For example, a 6-month treatment course of interferon-alpha therapy for chronic hepatitis C virus infection causes depression in approximately 30% of patients. Omega-3 fatty acids have a long list of health benefits, including lowering the risk of heart disease and reducing triglyceride levels.”

“Some tumors use glutamine as a fuel, so a person with active cancer should not infer safety or benefit from athlete protocols and should discuss supplementation with the oncology team. Dr. Galpin describes glutamine as one component of an emerging nutrition framework before and after concussion, drawing on a recent review and his practical use.”

“He also founded and served as Chair of the American Heart Association Council on Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Metabolism. Dr. Krauss has published nearly 400 research articles and reviews on genetic, dietary, and drug effects on plasma lipoproteins and coronary artery disease.”

“Rather, they fall on a spectrum, ranging from a five-to-one ratio of fats to protein and carbs (typically used in clinical settings) to a more liberalized one-to-one ratio, a type of low glycemic index therapy (commonly referred to as "modified Atkins") that might meet the needs of most healthy people.”
