“Understanding this connection helps to clarify why insulin resistance is a common denominator of many chronic conditions, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer's disease, fatty liver disease, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).”

“Link to full publication. Consuming carotenoid-rich vegetables reduces visceral body fat in men with obesity. Visceral fat is adipose tissue stored in the abdominal cavity close to internal organs such as the liver, pancreas, and intestines.”

“In REDUCE-IT, prescription icosapent ethyl lowered major ischemic events among statin-treated adults with elevated triglycerides, while atrial fibrillation or flutter requiring hospitalization occurred more often in the treatment group.”

“Environmental factors shown to modulate the blood-brain barrier include: Omega-3 fatty acids - Omega-3s, particularly the marine-derived DHA, regulate transport across the blood-brain barrier.”

Omega-3 fatty acids play critical roles in human health and may be beneficial in ameliorating symptoms associated with chronic health conditions and in combating aging-related diseases.

“Intermittent fasting, a dietary pattern that may deplete glycogen (carbohydrate stores) in the liver, increasing ketone production. Prolonged fasting, defined as fasting long enough to deplete carbohydrate stores, causing the body to switch from carbohydrate-based energy production to ketone metabolism, typically taking two to four days or more.”

“Introduction Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is stored in the liver and fatty tissues of the body. Perhaps best known for its role in maintaining calcium balance and bone health, vitamin D is critical in many physiological processes, such as blood pressure regulation, immune function, and cell growth.”

“Endothelial cells connect to each other using tight-junction proteins, which can be modified in shape to suit the needs of different tissues in the body. In tissues responsible for the filtering of waste, such as the kidneys and liver, loose tight junctions allow for increased paracellular transport.”

“Roughly 10 to 40 percent of gene expression in mammals is under circadian control, including genes in the brain, liver, and muscle. As such, circadian rhythmicity may have profound implications for mental health and mood.”

“Protein intake and energy availability were matched between conditions. The low-carbohydrate condition reduced muscle glycogen by approximately 40 percent and increased fat oxidation, circulating free fatty acids, glycerol, and beta-hydroxybutyrate.”
