Beyond Protein Synthesis - Here's What's Really Driving 'ur Gainz | Plus: Exercise & NAFLD, Telomere Length + More

Written by | published on

Unless it's done in excess, exercise is a universal health booster ... and it can make you look great naked ;-) In the latest edition of the short news, I am going to address recently published papers from Exercise and Sport Science Reviews  that shed a new light on the way(s) your muscle grow and suggest that exercise is able to cure NAFLD at least partly due to its ability to activate hepatic autophagy. In conjunction with three studies from the July issue of  Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise  that dealt with the link between leisure-time physical activity and telomere length, the underlying reason grandpa (and -ma) are at a very high risk of fall (hint: it's a neuromuscular weakness) and the validity of "use it or lose it" when it comes to the cartilage tissue in your knee.

3-4 Egg Yolks per Day May Normalize Your Lipids, Reduce Liver & Abdominal Fat as Well as Your CVD & NAFLD Risk

Written by | published on

Three whole eggs deliver the most effec-tive "dose" of  egg yolk to improve your blood lipid levels - more specifically: triglycerides ↓ and LDL ↓ but HDL ↑ Because of their cholesterol content, eggs have long been touted as a driver of heart disease. As a SuppVersity  reader, you know that there are multiple reasons  why the notion that the consumption of eggs, or rather egg yolks, would increase your cardiovascular disease risk: (a) there's no mechanistic "if your cholesterol is high, your CVD risk is also high"-link; (b) a causative link between the consumption of dietary cholesterol and serum cholesterol does not exist - at least not in the majority of people; (c) substances in egg yolks, in particular, have been shown to modulate the physical characteristics of your lipoproteins ( learn more ) and will thus lower, not increase your CVD risk. Since you know all that, it may seem less important for you than your doctor and other people who may stil...

Are You Afraid that the Fructose Boogieman Clogs Up Your Liver? Citrulline or Alanine, Glycine, Proline, Histidine and Aspartate Mix Will Protect You + Maybe Lean You Out

Written by | published on

If you belong to the people who simply cannot stay away from HFCS foods and beverages, you may be happy to hear that the equivalent of as little as 10g citrulline or NEAAs in your diet may do much more than "just" fully prevent its negative effects on your liver. You will probably remember from previous articles I wrote that NAFLD, or rather the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, is one of the earliest markers of metabolic syndrome and beginning type II diabetes. In the Western obesity societies in North America and Europe, NAFLD is among the most common causes of chronic liver disease and its prevalence is increasing rampantly (Marchesini. 2001). In spite of the fact that its development is most strongly linked to the consumption of a generally unhealthy, energetically dense diet, there are several lines of evidence which suggest that the ingestion of exorbitant amounts of fast-digesting fructose from high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) sweetened beverages ...

Nutrition Research Update: Stem Cell Treatment For Type II Diabetes, Probiotics and Weight Loss Reviewed (Twice) and D-Xylose Sweet Poison for Superfluous Body Fat

Written by | published on

With the right diet and lifestyle, stem cell treatments, probiotic supplements or xylose-laden "functional foods" wouldn't be necessary in the first place. You're probably used to it, but I am in the mood for bragging: The SuppVersity  is where you'll read about the latest nutrition, exercise and supplement related studies first. In research updates like the one today, I am trying to provide a little more information than in the SV Facebook News , though, where I usually stick only to the main results of studies that have just been published or at least accepted for publication. In today's installment of what I often call the " Short News ", I will discuss three papers that are going to be published in one of the next issues of the peer-reviewed scientific journal Nutrition News . Studies dealing with a pre-clinical, but promising stem cell therapy for diabetics, the verdict on probiotic supplements (including my evaluation of the scientists...

There's a whole arsenal of vitamins & herbals that's supposed to either protect you from or even cure NAFLD. NAFLD is emerging as one of the most common chronic liver diseases worldwide, and represents one of main cause of hepatology referral in some centers. NAFLD is a clinical syndrome that ranges from simple fatty liver, to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, to advanced fibrosis, and cirrhosis. It's directly liked to diabesity by its ties to insulin-resistance, obesity, and dyslipidemia, which are the main features of the metabolic syndrome (MS). NAFLD and MS are often seen in the same individual, and it has been reported that nearly 90% of the subjects affected by NAFLD, have more than one component of metabolic syndrome .
