“Biomarkers usually associated with hypertrophy (muscle growth), including the activation of satellite cells and mTOR signaling (a growth regulator), decreased in the cold-exposed group.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“mTORC1 regulates protein synthesis and cell growth, which are necessary for developing, maintaining, and repairing the body's tissues. It is highly sensitive to changes in nutrient and oxygen levels, allowing it to act as a cellular energy/redox sensor.”

“Butyrate, specifically, is the preferred energy source for intestinal cells and increases the rate of tight junction assembly. In one study of mice consuming a high-fat diet, supplementation with 100 million CFU of L.”

“Polyphenols from common foods prevent leaky gut syndrome. Polyphenols Intestinal hyper-permeability, often referred to as "leaky gut," is a condition in which the gaps between the cells that line the gut expand.”

“Immune cells bear specialized proteins embedded within their membranes that recognize specific microbial molecular patterns. These proteins, called toll-like receptors, detect the presence of bacterial components and signal the body to secrete inflammatory cytokines.”

“Consumption of a single SSB induces acute endothelial dysfunction – the inability of the cells that line the blood vessels to maintain the right vascular rigidity in order to regulate blood flow, often due to inflammation.”

“BDNF promotes synaptic plasticity and neuronal cell stress resistance while providing protection against the neuronal dysfunction and degeneration that accompanies neurodegenerative disorders.”

“Oxidative stress and inflammation. Appetite-regulating hormones and beta-cell function. Markers of mitochondrial biogenesis.”
