“In this review, researchers present the science surrounding the role exercise plays in skeletal muscle NAD+ metabolism in both young and older people. Learn more about NAD+ in our overview article.”

“How kynurenine can then go on to become a metabolite known as quinolinic acid which is powerfully associated with depression. How our muscles actually help us shift the metabolism of kynurenine away from quinolinic acid when we exercise, particularly if that exercise is endurance exercise.”

“"Exercise snacks" can combat cancer and boost metabolism. Sometimes getting in a long workout is tough. Fitting "exercise snacks" – short, high-intensity workouts – into your daily routine can aid in cancer prevention and metabolic health.”

“Evidence indicates that the processes and products associated with ethanol metabolism exert genotoxic effects; promote oxidative stress; alter vitamin metabolism (especially folate and vitamin A-related compounds); increase estrogen levels; and drive inflammation.”

“For two workdays, each participant either remained seated throughout the workday, followed the same sitting schedule plus a 60-minute moderate cycling workout on the second evening, or completed the workout while alternating 30 minutes of sitting with 30 minutes of standing during work.”

“The trial included 193 adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a condition in which fat builds up in the liver alongside metabolic risk factors such as obesity, high blood sugar, or abnormal cholesterol levels.”

“In mouse and cell experiments, butyrate promotes the development of regulatory T cells, which help control immune responses. Other mechanistic experiments show how its metabolism supports signaling that maintains the intestinal barrier.”

“The authors of the current study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis in which they searched the literature for studies testing starches and their effects on post-meal metabolism, collected studies based on a set of criteria meant to select for high-quality design, and then combined the data for analysis.”

“Other randomized controlled trials have found that time-restricted eating within a 6-hour window without reducing calories or losing weight improves insulin sensitivity, beta cell function, blood pressure, oxidative stress and reduces evening appetite.”

“They focused on steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1) neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), a brain region involved in regulating energy use and metabolism. They compared normal training with conditions where SF1 neurons were prevented from sending signals, or where SF1 neuron activity was increased after exercise sessions.”
