“> The new study shows that deleting the BDNF gene also impairs thermogenesis -- the ability of cells to burn fat to produce heat. The study further reveals two distinct types of BDNF neurons -- those that control appetite or satiety and those that control thermogenesis.”

“Hormones involved in appetite regulation showed no consistent response. Leptin (a hormone that also reflects energy stored in body fat) was modestly higher with shorter sleep, but two other appetite-related hormones, GLP-1 and ghrelin, did not clearly change.”

“Previous research has reported that an abnormal heart rate recovery (less than 12 beats per minute decrease 60 seconds after exercise) is associated with an increased risk of death from all causes even after controlling for other markers of fitness.”

“Supplementation with fish oil during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy resulted in an increase in lean mass, bone mass, and fat mass without causing obesity in children 1-6 yrs suggesting a general growth stimulating effect (randomized controlled trial).”

“Females are more likely to gain and retain fat mass than males; however, pre-menopausal females tend to have lower rates of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease due to the protective effects of estrogen.”

“It primarily hinges on the chemical characteristics of two types of coffee compounds—diterpenes and polyphenols. Diterpenes are fat-soluble, meaning they pass through metal filters or remain suspended in espresso and boiled preparations.”

“Semaglutide and calorie restriction produced comparable reductions in weight and body fat. In that same experiment, semaglutide produced more favorable changes in spatial memory, exploratory behavior, and blood glucose control than the calorie-restricted diet.”

“Cancer risk increased by 8.3% when the diet-inflammatory score increased by 1 from a linear dose-response analysis. The diet-related inflammatory index has previously been shown to be highest with a Western-type diet, which is high in sugar intake, fried foods, high-fat dairy products, and refined grains.”

“On the other hand, selective clearance of senescent cells increased lifespan by 36% and improved physical function in old age. Drugs that selectively target senescent cells are referred to as senolytics. This study also showed that senolytics killed human senescent cells in human fat samples.”

“Meals high in fat normally cause dysfunction in blood vessels, impairing their ability to dilate. Previous research reports that high intensity exercise improves flow mediated dilation following a meal.”
