“Time-restricted feeding improved survival of septic shock and provided protection against insulin resistance and fatty liver in both sexes; however, male mice experienced greater reductions in body weight and serum cholesterol and maintained greater muscle mass and performance compared to female mice.”

“Metabolomics is an emerging field of study that involves the measurement of all metabolites – the intermediate or end products of metabolism – in a biological specimen. Many metabolites are produced when food is digested and further metabolized by gut microbes.”

“Metabolic syndrome increased by 12%, and high blood pressure by 14%.”

“In a short intervention in 29 healthy young men, a daily sugar-sweetened beverage increased fasting glucose, C-reactive protein, and atherogenic LDL features within three weeks; this was a biomarker study, not a cancer trial.”

“Participants underwent detailed metabolic testing, including oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT, which tracks blood sugar and insulin levels over two hours after consuming a glucose drink) and MRI scans to track fat distribution, and were followed for up to 10 years to monitor whether they developed type 2 diabetes.”

“Modern life keeps most people indoors, often under artificial lighting that differs greatly from natural daylight. Because light is the main signal that sets the body's internal clock, limited daylight exposure could affect metabolism.”

“The link between lower body weight and tau may reflect early disease-related changes in metabolism rather than a protective effect of higher weight. Because this was an observational study, the results cannot prove cause and effect.”

“00:29:20 - Organs shrink during fasting and then regrow after refeeding. Study. 00:29:45 - Fasting stresses healthy cells so they increase their stress-response pathways, including heat shock proteins, antioxidant production, and anti-inflammatory.”

“CD4+ and CD8+ T cells exposed to the highest concentration of beta-hydroxybutyrate (10 millimolar), comparable to the maximum circulating level in humans, produced more cytokines used to fight infection. Regulatory T cells, which prevent autoimmunity and excessive inflammation, also increased their activity, including the mitochondrial metabolism of ketones.”

“Vigorous work produces lactate that can cross the blood-brain barrier and participate in brain energy metabolism. Exercise also raises growth factors such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which support synaptic plasticity and memory-related circuits.”
