“The afternoon group also experienced a significantly greater reduction in fasting glucose levels, fat mass, percent body fat, and exercise performance. Although it wasn’t statistically significant, afternoon exercise also tended to improve glucose output from the liver, another marker of metabolic health.”

“Authors of a new report investigated the relationship between sarcopenia progression, depression, dementia, and hypertension. Body composition shifts across the lifespan, with a progression toward lower muscle mass and increased fat mass after age of 60.”

“About a third of the participants performed their exercise in the morning, a third did so in the afternoon, and a third didn't engage in any exercise. Researchers measured the participants' body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, maximal fat oxidation, blood pressure, and blood metabolites before and after the intervention.”

“Alpha-lipoic acid participates in metabolism by inhibiting fatty acid and triglyceride synthesis and, in turn, promoting fatty acid oxidation, triglyceride clearance from the liver, and fat loss. Dietary sources of alpha-lipoic acid include spinach, broccoli, and organ meats, among others.”

“They also tested whether "preloading" a carbohydrate-rich meal with fat, protein, or fiber could blunt blood sugar spikes. Participants underwent intensive metabolic testing and provided blood and stool samples so the researchers could analyze insulin resistance, beta cell function, blood lipids, proteins, and gut microbes.”

“This data seems to suggest that stearic acid activates a physiological response for lipids including fatty acid beta-oxidation, whereas palmitic acid does not. This could mean that palmitic acid may lead to fat accumulation in the body which could have adverse effects.”

“Cooked vegetable oil worsened inflammation in the colon, enhanced tumor growth, promoted gut leakage, and caused harmful bacterial products to leak into the bloodstream in mice. This study used canola oil which is high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) as are other vegetable oils such as soy and corn.”

“The studies revealed that women who took berberine experienced adipose tissue redistribution. In turn, the women's visceral fat mass decreased, even in the absence of weight loss. The women's insulin sensitivity and lipid profiles improved, too.”

“The authors went on to posit that the similarities between obesity and aging are driven by shared molecular- and cellular-level mechanisms, including increased levels of reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, increased apoptosis, impaired autophagy, and increased inflammation.”

“The obese where fat-soluble vitamin D has greater difficulty being released into the bloodstream. Obese individuals have greater than 50% less bioavailability of vitamin D compared to non-obese individuals.”
