“Daylight also increased the 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. melatonin exposure by 16%, and myotubes cultured from muscle biopsies showed a roughly 45-minute phase advance. Fat oxidation increased, while the primary outcome of average glucose and meal-related insulin responses did not differ.”

“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.”

“The authors concluded that slower rates of brain atrophy, along with diet and lifestyle factors and low heart disease risk among the Tsimane protect brain health despite high levels of chronic inflammation caused by infection.”

“The participants underwent bioelectrical impedance and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) to gauge body composition prior to the first sauna session, at the completion of the last sauna session, and two weeks later. None of the participants experienced any changes in fat mass during the study.”

“"Creatine causes fat gain" Creatine does not increase fat mass. Instead, it typically promotes a modest reduction in body fat percentage when combined with resistance training, attributable to improved muscle mass and training intensity.”

“Small, dense LDL particles are thought to be more atherogenic and have been shown to form in the presence of both saturated fat and refined carbohydrates. You can read more about the role of small, dense LDL particles in atherosclerosis on the summary of the podcast I did.”

“A large waist circumference may be an indicator of visceral fat – body fat that is stored in the abdominal cavity and plays a central role in the links between obesity and systemic inflammation.”

“> "We have demonstrated for the first time in an animal model that maternal use of a class of antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, resulted in increased fat accumulation and inflammation in the liver of the adult offspring…”

“Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) form in foods when their sugars, amino acids, and fats encounter heat. The molecules rearrange, forming brown polymers (a process known as the Maillard reaction) and creating the deep flavors of browned barley in beer, roasted coffee, seared meats, and French fries.”

“The authors assessed the participants' vitamin D status using LC-MS/MS, steroid metabolites from urine samples, and the expression of 92 genes from the muscle biopsies. The authors also measured lean body mass and body fat percentages.”
