“However, this result only occurred in cancer cells with an acidic pH compared to a neutral pH. Mice that received the fish oil supplementation lost harmful white adipose tissue but gained metabolically beneficial brown adipose tissue, improving whole-body metabolism.”

“Activity timing can add another benefit. A meta-analysis of eight crossover trials found that exercise after eating reduced post-meal glucose excursions more than exercise before eating or inactivity, with earlier post-meal activity generally producing a larger effect.”

“How even loneliness can change gene expression, including some involved in metabolism, inflammation, and the endocrine system. The effect of social isolation in mice on cancer metastasis, and conversely how wound healing can be affected in mice just by changes in their environment.”

“In this clip, Dr. Elissa Epel explains how these aging syndromes – as well as other factors that affect telomere length – can also be passed to offspring via epigenetic mechanisms.”

“Eating before exercise, especially carbohydrates, can dampen some of these cellular signals. For example, fed-state workouts reduce activation of enzymes and proteins involved in fat metabolism and energy regulation compared to fasted workouts.”

“A large dose-response meta-analysis of prospective studies found that greater non-occupational physical activity was associated with lower risks of total cancer and several site-specific cancers, with meaningful benefits appearing below current guideline levels.”

“A critical element in the mechanisms that regulate autophagy is the cell’s ability to sense changes in cellular levels of acetyl CoA, an end product of nutrient metabolism. When mice or humans are deprived of nutrients, protein deacetylation – which often coincides with autophagy – begins to occur on the organism-wide level.”

“Apolipoprotein E (APOE), a lipoprotein produced in the liver and the brain, plays key roles in fat metabolism. Approximately 25 percent of people in the United States – roughly 75 million people – carry a genetic variant of this lipoprotein called APOE4, which is associated with higher circulating levels of LDL cholesterol and an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease.”

Approximately 25 percent of people living in the United States carry a genetic variant of this lipoprotein called APOE4, which is associated with higher circulating levels of LDL cholesterol and an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease.”

“The authors reported large and consistent disturbances in amino acid metabolic metabolism in participants with depression. These disturbances may disrupt the balance of neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, glutamate, and GABA.”
