    PUFA metabolite (prostaglandin) promotes lipolysis / fibrosis, causes obesity / diabetes

    Just in case there are still doubts out there about just how detrimental PUFA is to our health, here is a study showing that just one of PUFA's "normal" metabolites (i.e. enzymatically derived, instead of through peroxidation) is sufficient to elevate lipolysis, and that effect alone is enough...

    Can anyone help me find this study that Ray references?

    Ray talks about a group of women trying to lose weight who were found to be able to gain weight on even 700 calories a day, where the food was controlled in metabolic wards. He mentions it here, for example: View: https://youtu.be/yylOTFJFxko?t=1203 Does anyone know what study he's referring...

    Low-dose niacinamide has striking anti-obesity effects

    It looks like the medical world has firmly set its sights on the bioenergetic wave/target, as the number of scientific papers focusing on niacinamide, NAD/NADH ratio and OXPHOS in general has been steadily climbing since 2010. That would be good news, despite the attempts of companies such as...

    Anti-Peat Fructose augments synthesis and release of free fatty acids and lactate

    Metabolic fate of fructose in human adipocytes: a targeted 13C tracer fate association study ”This study demonstrated that fructose stimulates anabolic processes in adipocytes robustly, including glutamate and de novo fatty acid synthesis. Furthermore, fructose also augments the release of free...

    HFCS Can Cause Obesity and Gut Microbial Changes

    Effects of HFCS on intestinal microbiota structure and obesity in mice In this study, the long-term intake of drinking water containing 30% HFCS caused significant increases in body weight, perirenal fat, epididymal fat (P = 0.001, P = 0.0009, P = 0.007, respectively), and liver fat percentage...

    Endotoxin (LPS) drives obesity, diabetes and CVD in young people

    It looks like medicine is starting to change course on its attitude to endotoxin (LPS). After claiming that LPS is not an issue at all for any human with a functioning liver, a number of high profile studies have come out recently demonstrating chronic endotoxemia (even low-grade) is a causal...

    Lactate is a key driver of diabetes/obesity, by promoting inflammation

    A great study, demonstrating that in diabetes (just as in cancer) the so-called Warburg Effect (aerobic glycolysis) is as much a cause of those degenerative conditions as it is an effect of. The study below demonstrated that increased intracellular lactate results in robust increase in systemic...

    Inhibiting lipolysis may treat diabetes

    Endotoxin (LPS) as a cause of liver disease, obesity and diabetes

    The first article below is actually about praising fermented foods, which I don't really agree with. So, I am posting it mostly because of the quote on endotoxin/LPS, which is a very rare finding in published medical literature since medicine does not recognize chronic, low-grade endotoxemia as...

    Cortisol causes fatty liver (as well as obesity, diabetes, etc)

    Not really a surprise for most of my readers, but it is always nice to see more evidence establishing various disorders attributed to "gluttony", "weak will", "addiction", etc as actual endocrine disturbances. And since the current study implicates cortisol, we can point the finger once again at...

    A seemingly contradictory title, but only to people who are not aware of the so-called "obesity paradox".

    A study that will certainly generate controversy in the low-carb blogosphere, but the findings are hard to dispute. Namely, feeding a diet for 15 weeks, in which 74.3% of the calories come from carbs in the form of starch was clearly obesogenic, caused insulin resistance and elevated blood...
