“Fecal microbial transplantation from responders mimicked the effects of exercise on alleviation of insulin resistance in the mice, but fecal transplants from the non-responders did not. These findings may augment and facilitate clinical management of symptoms of diabetes.”

“Cardiometabolic syndrome is a constellation of disorders that includes insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, abnormal blood lipids, high blood pressure, and obesity. People who have cardiometabolic syndrome are more likely to die from heart disease or experience a heart attack or stroke than those without the syndrome.”

“When people improve their diet, they often lose weight, eat fewer calories, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce inflammation at the same time. That makes it difficult to know whether clock improvement is due to diet composition itself or to weight loss and downstream metabolic improvements.”

“Each 10% reduction in visceral fat during the intervention was linked years later to a better insulin-resistance score and a healthier cardiometabolic risk score based on waist size, blood pressure, blood sugar, insulin, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol.”

“It did not alter insulin, testosterone, triiodothyronine, leptin, hepcidin, or P1NP, a marker of bone formation. However, it increased beta-CTX, a marker of bone resorption, and lowered IGF-1, a growth factor involved in anabolic signaling.”

“Other randomized controlled trials have found that time-restricted eating within a 6-hour window without reducing calories or losing weight improves insulin sensitivity, beta cell function, blood pressure, oxidative stress and reduces evening appetite.”

“The benefits of prehabilitation extend beyond just preventing cancer. Research suggests that fit individuals diagnosed with cancer tend to have: Less aggressive disease: Regular exercise helps regulate insulin, inflammation, and immune function, all of which influence tumor growth.”

“For example, studies have demonstrated that intermittent fasting reduces resting heart rate and blood pressure, exerts anti-inflammatory effects in people with asthma, and improves insulin sensitivity in women with overweight who are at risk for breast cancer.”

“These include an increase in circulating levels of sex hormones, increased chronic inflammation, impaired insulin sensitivity, impaired immune surveillance and responsiveness, increased adiposity, and a dysregulated adipokine milieu.”

“Participants kept food diaries and provided weekly blood and urine for measuring ketones, insulin, glucose, hemoglobin A1c (a measure of long-term blood glucose control), and IGF-1. They underwent brain scans at the beginning and end of the intervention.”
