“Neurogenesis Whereas the early view of the mammalian central nervous system presumed that it was a static complex incapable of change, a growing body of evidence suggests that it retains its capacity for synaptic pruning – the process that eliminates extra neurons and synaptic connections and establishes new neural circuits to increase the efficiency of neuronal transmissions – throughout life.”

“Sirtuins are highly conserved enzymes that play key roles in healthspan and longevity in multiple organisms. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is linked to the regulation of a variety of metabolic processes, including the release of insulin, mobilization of lipids, response to stress, and modulation of lifespan.”

“Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose and insulin resistance. Poor blood glucose control is associated with many diabetes-related complications and death. Findings from a new study indicate that blood glucose control influences outcomes in COVID-19.”

“Type 2 diabetes is a progressive metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels and insulin resistance. Long-term complications from poorly controlled type 2 diabetes include heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure, among others.”

“Because growth hormone can increase insulin production to a harmful degree, the authors used metformin, a common diabetes drug, and dehydroepiandrosterone, a steroid precursor, to control symptoms of diabetes.”

“Visceral fat is body fat that is stored in the abdominal cavity near the liver, pancreas, and intestines. The accumulation of visceral fat is linked to type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, inflammatory diseases, certain types of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other obesity-related conditions.”

“They found that the participants who received supplemental vitamin K2 experienced marked reductions in levels of fasting blood glucose (13.4 percent), insulin (28.3 percent), and HbA1c (7.4 percent), indicating improved glycemic control.”

“Greater conversion can lower testosterone while strengthening estradiol's signal to the brain and pituitary to reduce testosterone production. Inflammation and insulin resistance associated with excess body fat can further interfere with testosterone regulation.”

“Elevated HNF4A can disrupt lipid metabolism, potentially leading to fatty liver, while increased CYP2E1 raises oxidative stress, increasing the risk of liver damage, fibrosis, and cancer. These changes may also increase the risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.”

“Other evidence suggests that coffee's beneficial effects arise from its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects as well as its capacity to maintain healthy blood insulin levels – a critical aspect in colorectal cancer outcomes.”
