“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.”

“Here's just a few of the topics Joe and Rhonda discussed this time around: The endorphin system. Vitamin D controls serotonin in brain and gut. Role of vitamin D and serotonin in autism.”

“Interestingly, human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in breast milk serve as decoys to protect the infant from gut infections. In order for pathogenic bacteria to cause infection, they must first target and bind to specific carbohydrates found on the cells that line the gut.”

“And burgeoning research is pointing to the key role lactate may play in treating brain trauma, using lactate infusions that not only bypass the gut but also spare glucose for other immediate needs. Providing nutrients – especially glucose – to an individual with a brain injury is a standard of care.”

“The gut-brain axis, a bidirectional signaling pathway between the gastrointestinal tract and the nervous system, plays key roles in human health. Key elements of this pathway are the tens of trillions of microbes that comprise the intestinal microbiota, the composition of which likely changes with age.”

“Dietary fibers also maintain gut barrier function, which is often impaired in metabolic syndrome due to increased intestinal permeability. Learn more about intestinal permeability in our overview article. View study abstract.”

“01:01:47 - How the gut microbiome influences glucose regulation and cholesterol. Continuous glucose monitors for personalized medicine Type 2 diabetes is a complex constellation of interrelated metabolic conditions characterized by high blood glucose levels.”

“From the article: > LP-1 is released from the wall of the gut after eating and acts to stimulate insulin from the pancreas to control blood sugar levels. This was known but what has now been unearthed is that GLP-1 also stimulates a small sensory organ called the carotid body located in the neck. View full publication.”
