“Every other day fasting primarily alters the gut microbiota composition to promote the generation of acetate and lactate and this increased mitochondrial density in adipose tissue. The higher mitochondrial density in white adipose tissue caused the "browning" of the fat which results in increased energy expenditure through non-shivering thermogenesis.”

“From the article: > Human studies in siblings show that children born to a mother who was obese during pregnancy are at greater risk of heart disease than siblings born to the same mother after bariatric surgery to reduce maternal obesity.”

“A diet that includes avocados, which are rich in mono-unsaturated fats and dietary fiber, is associated with lower abdominal obesity. The investigators recruited 105 adults between the ages of 25 and 45 years who had overweight or obesity.”

“These findings suggest that high-dose vitamin D could effectively manage obesity and related conditions by redirecting calories from fat storage to muscle growth. They also highlight the interplay between vitamin D, leptin, and myostatin.”

“FTA: > A crucial link between high levels of insulin and pathways that lead to obesity has been discovered by researchers, a finding that may have important implications when treating diabetes. The discovery was made by studying mice engineered to lack receptors for a hormone called glucagon.”
