    Saturated Fat (palmitate) Does NOT Activate TLR4

    We must have had hundreds of discussions on this topic on the forum. Some forum users strongly believe that saturated fat (SFA) increases inflammation by binding to and activating the endotoxin (LPS) receptor TLR4. Among all SFA, palmitate is the one most commonly blamed and has been...

    A Central Role For JNK(inflammation) In Obesity And Insulin Resistance

    A central role for JNK in obesity and insulin resistance. - PubMed - NCBI Obesity is closely associated with insulin resistance and establishes the leading risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus, yet the molecular mechanisms of this association are poorly understood. The c-Jun amino-terminal...

    Inflammation Mediates Free Fatty Acid-induced Insulin Resistance

    JNK and tumor necrosis factor-alpha mediate free fatty acid-induced insulin resistance in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. - PubMed - NCBI Lipid infusion and high fat feeding are established causes of systemic and adipose tissue insulin resistance. In this study, we treated 3T3-L1 adipocytes with a mixture...

    Taurine Protects Against Heavy Metal Toxicity

    It looks like taurine protects against cadmium, iron, arsenic, lead, aluminum, mercury and other heavy metals. It has strong anti-oxidant properties I think largely mediated through increasing glutathione and increasing fecal/bile excretion of heavy metals. Taurine also protects against...

    A (chronic) Very Low Dose Endotoxin Exposure Might Be As Dangerous As An Acute One

    Treehuggers, @haidut forced me to post this study with the following comments: This, unlike the majority of studies on the effects of LPS, was done using a very low dose of endotoxin; according to them, something that is compatible with the circulating levels seen in chronic metabolic...

    Both Types Of Diabetes Are Caused By The Same Mechanism

Modern medicine claimed for years that the two types are fundamentally different, and type I is an auto-immune condition. This article claims scientists in...
