“FTA: > Losing as little as 30 minutes of sleep per day on weekdays can have long-term consequences for body weight and metabolism, a new study finds.”

“Interestingly, researchers did not sequence the DNA of the bacteria that was transplanted but a reduction in butyrate-producing bacteria (which activate intestinal gluconeogenesis and butyrate supplementation can reverse insulin resistance in diet-induced obesity in mice) may partly explain.”

“This study provides important insight into the relationship between obesity and cancer. Link to full publication. Watch this episode of the FoundMyFitness podcast with Dr. Ruth Patterson to learn more about the effects of insulin resistance on breast cancer.”

“However, most studies on ketosis have been conducted in men and have only assessed short-term effects. A recent study found that nutritional ketosis reduces blood glucose, insulin, and inflammatory markers in healthy women practicing long-term ketosis.”

“Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, or NAFLD, causes fat accumulation in the liver, inflammation, and insulin resistance. It's the most common chronic liver condition among people in the United States, affecting roughly 90 percent of people with obesity, or about 38 percent of the overall population.”

“From the article: > "In obese animals, exercise increased IL-6 and IL-10 protein levels in the hypothalamus, and these molecules were crucial for increasing the sensitivity of the most important hormones, insulin and leptin, which control appetite," Carvalheira explained. View full publication.”

“FGF21 plays a role in many of the beneficial responses to exercise like improved glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity, lower blood cholesterol levels, and reductions in body weight. It also alters dopamine signaling.”

“The problem is multifactorial. Not only does lost sleep cause our pancreatic beta islet cells that produce insulin to become less responsive to glucose signals, but muscle and other cells also become less responsive to insulin.”

“Researchers assessed their blood lipids (triglycerides, LDL, HDL, and total cholesterol), glycemic control, insulin sensitivity, and blood pressure before and after the eight-week intervention.”
