“The reduction in diastolic blood pressure and fasting blood glucose was dose-dependent, with higher doses eliciting more robust effects. These findings suggest that taurine supplementation improves factors associated with metabolic syndrome.”

“A metabolic byproduct of sugar metabolism called methylglyoxal has been linked to age-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer. People that were fasted for one night and had higher levels of acetoacetate also had higher levels of a compound called 3-HHD which forms through the detoxification process of methylglyoxal.”

“FTA: > Scientists have discovered a mechanism in the brain that may drive our appetite for foods rich in glucose and could lead to improved treatments for obesity.”

“> Previous studies by Dr. Mattson and his colleagues suggested that nerve cells in the brains of rodents on a meal-skipping diet are more resistant to dysfunction and death in experimental models of stroke and other neurological disorders including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Huntington's diseases.”

“Multiple studies in people who have type 2 diabetes demonstrate that resveratrol treatment of ~1 gram per day significantly decreases systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c (a measure of long-term blood glucose control), and circulating insulin, while improving insulin sensitivity and increasing high-density lipoprotein levels…”

“She favors an eating window that begins early enough to include a protein-rich first meal and ends about three hours before bed, giving digestion time to settle while preserving a daily fasting period. Protein intake and resistance training are central to this approach.”

“A systematic review and meta-analysis found no evidence that one time of day produces universally better improvements in health or performance, although gains can be larger when the time of training matches the time of testing.”

“Low BDNF levels were prevalent among those with a higher percentage of body fat, higher fasting glucose levels and triglyceride levels, and increased insulin resistance. The study also found that participants freely consumed 40 percent fewer calories while on the low-carbohydrate diet.”

“During exposure to stress from temperature extremes, reduced nutrient levels (as in fasting), or hypoxia (reduced oxygen), cells increase expression of HSPs to stabilize unfolded proteins and repair or re-synthesize damaged ones.”
