“Maternal obesity accelerated markers of aging in offspring including impaired mitochondrial function, early signs of prediabetes, fatty liver, and oxidative stress. Exercise by the offspring improved many of the poor outcomes (animal study).”

“At the end of the eighth week, average blood vitamin C levels in the supplemented group were approximately 42 micromoles per liter, versus approximately 10 micromoles per liter in the depleted group. Additionally, fatty acid utilization in the supplemented group was approximately four times greater than in the vitamin C depleted group.”

“Fatty liver/metabolic disease NR isn't a weight-loss drug, but it may help shift fat out of unhealthy storage sites (especially the liver) when the system is metabolically stressed.”

“Heat acclimation also increases blood flow to the skeletal muscles, fueling them with glucose, fatty acids, and oxygen, reducing their dependence on glycogen stores. Endurance athletes often "hit a wall" due to depletion of their liver and muscle glycogen stores.”

“Mice continued their diet for a total of 12 to 13 weeks. After 10 weeks, the researchers measured changes in the animals' body weight, glucose sensitivity, serum cholesterol, fatty liver, muscle performance, and immune response when challenged with bacterial endotoxin.”

“When this fat depot is enlarged or metabolically unhealthy, it may expose the liver to higher levels of free fatty acids and inflammatory signals, which can worsen insulin resistance of the liver, blood lipid control, and blood-sugar regulation.”

“Visceral fat is fat stored in the abdomen and is associated with insulin resistance, elevated triglycerides, and fatty liver. This is in contrast to fat stored in the lower body, called subcutaneous fat, which is not associated with metabolic dysfunction.”

“Visceral fat interferes with lipid metabolism in the liver, promoting insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. A diet that includes avocados, which are rich in mono-unsaturated fats and dietary fiber, is associated with lower abdominal obesity.”

“Other evidence suggests that impaired brain transport of DHA, a type of omega-3 fatty acid, increases Alzheimer's disease risk. Learn more in this open-access, peer-reviewed article by Dr. Rhonda Patrick. Read study abstract.”

“The mice fed sulforaphane also lowered fatty liver and reduced blood glucose levels. Sulforaphane reduced inflammation by decreasing a species of bacteria in the gut that is responsible for producing endotoxin, which is a major source of inflammation.”
