“In essence, fasting makes cancer cells less able to escape detection by the immune system. In this clip, Dr. Valter Longo explains how the use of fatty acids instead of glucose not only weakens cancer cells but also makes them more susceptible to being cleared by the immune system.”

“Circadian rhythms are the body’s 24-hour cycles of biological, hormonal, and behavioral patterns. Every organ and cell has its own daily timed circadian rhythm, which influences physiological processes, including the body’s production of hormones that regulate sleep, hunger, and metabolism.”

“During about eight years of follow-up, the models associated one vigorous minute with roughly 4.1 moderate minutes for all-cause mortality, 7.8 minutes for cardiovascular mortality, and 9.4 minutes for type 2 diabetes risk.”

“We often think of aging as a steady, downhill slope, but a new study suggests aging happens in two distinct bursts—in our mid-40s and again around age 60—when massive shifts in crucial molecules involved in metabolism and other critical processes occur.”

“Considering the links between gut health and metabolism, they offer new insights into addressing sleep-related metabolic disorders in children. Learn about the importance of establishing a healthy gut microbiota in early life in this clip featuring Dr. Eran Elinav.”

“Dr. Patrick also distinguishes general-population evidence from people with diabetes or insulin resistance, where some observational studies report different risk patterns and residual confounding remains substantial.”

“The retrospective study involved over 8,000 participants and found that those conceived in a cold environment had more brown fat, which is more metabolically active than while fat and is associated with reduced weight gain.”

“Dr. van Loon sees useful research questions in skin, joints, and recovery after orthopedic surgery, but he keeps those possibilities separate from established muscle-building effects.”

“The compound also triggered increased oxidative stress and affected critical genes involved in cell cycle progression and oxidative metabolism. These findings suggest that BBP exposure profoundly affects reproductive health by impairing the cellular processes necessary for healthy chromosome segregation and genomic stability.”

“The question of whether NAD+ is derived directly from NR or NMN in certain tissues rather than being salvaged from nicotinamide may, in particular, have implications for whether or not oral administration may be hampered in achieving maximal NAD+ status due to the fact that the process of salvaging NAD+ from nicotinamide is subject to feedback inhibition.”
