“Despite the relatively low compliance, all the participants had ketones in their urine, with 80 percent achieving moderate levels. Participants' hemoglobin A1c, insulin, and fat body mass decreased, but their lean body mass increased.”

“A type of immune cell called macrophages were found to accumulate and produce pro-inflammatory cytokines near dead adipose cells in the fat tissue in breasts. This adipose tissue inflammation is significantly higher in obese women compared to lean women and may create a microenvironment that promotes tumor growth.”

“These findings suggest that women with obesity eliminate alcohol faster than leaner women, likely due to the increase in fat-free mass that often accompanies obesity, especially in older women.”

“Caloric restriction, a potent inducer of autophagy, extends lifespan in many organisms but also reduces the risk of many age-related chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and brain atrophy – likely attributable to the beneficial effects of autophagy.”

“Both ketone supplements strengthened the normal post-meal drop in circulating non-esterified fatty acids (fats released from body fat stores) that is typically blunted in patients with type 2 diabetes because their fat tissue does not respond well to insulin.”

“The high-intesnsity workouts were led by a CrossFit trainer and were only about 10-20 minutes but the participants hit greater than 85% of their maximum target heart rate.”

“FTA: > Rats fed a fiber supplement while on a high fat and high sugar diet show a much lower weight gain than those who did not eat the fiber, a study shows. A team of researchers says the study helps scientists better understand the mechanisms of weight control and energy balance.”

“Rats that had previously binge drank the equivalent to 1 vodka bottle per day for 17 weeks drank 90% less after being injected with human stem cells. The best part: these human mesenchymal stem cells were obtained from fat tissue from clinical liposuctions. This probably makes them a little easier to come by.”

“Metformin inhibits mitochondrial adaptations and improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness after aerobic exercise training in older adults. Metformin also diminished whole-body insulin sensitivity after aerobic exercise. Metformin did not diminish the improvements in HbA1c, fasting insulin, 24‐hr mean glucose, and fat mass or the increase in skeletal muscle telomere length after exercise.”
