Adelfo Cerame: Intermittent Carbohydrate Modulation as a Stepping Stone Towards an Anatomy Chart Physique

Written by | published on

Adelfo's goal is to look like an anatomy chart. Now, I don't know about you, but I have seen dozens of anatomy charts that reveal less details of the human physiology than this side-shot which was taken only three days ago. If you read the headline of today's SuppVersity article, first, you will already know that this is not day 4 of the SuppVersity Exercise Science Week , but (finally) another of Adelfo Cerame's guestposts, here at the SuppVersity . You don't have to worry, there's going to be at least some exercise science in the SuppVersity Science Round-Up , which does (business as usual) air on 1PM (EST) live! on the Super Human Radio Network . So, if you want to be among the first to hear the latest about the ameliorative effect of no more than 3g of glutamine on skeletal muscle damage and reductions in immune functions , when you're training like a maniac ( learn more about glutamine) the superiority of protein blends with respect to net pro...

Image 1: Rat & guinea pig. Both very popular animal models. Both about the same size and weight, but with very different reactions to identical treatments. I won't waste too many words on this being a new series on the SuppVersity , I suppose the name "Ask Dr. Andro" is self-explanatory. It is based on questions posted in the comment section that are relevant for the majority of the visitors and require and deserve a more sophisticated response. So, if you want your question answered, learn a lesson from "Learner" who posted the following question in the comment section of " Spicing Up Fat Loss: Structural Similarity to Melanocortin-4 Agonists Powers Piperine's (Black Pepper Extract) Fat Loss and Lipid Lowering Effects ". Question from "Learner" : Why is the mg/kg dosing ratio different for humans than rats, and does that vary by the agent? Answer from Dr. Andro : Most of what we know about the effects of (new) drugs, ...

Want to Increase Your Testosterone? Better Have Your Right Answers

Written by | published on
Although this is not a typical SuppVersity-study, it is yet related to both education and endocrinology: Flegr and Priplotova from the Charles University in Praha found that testosterone and cortisol levels in university students reflect actual rather than estimated number of wrong answers on written exam ( Flegr. 2010 ). The scientists measured testosterone and cortisol levels in response to a written exam in students of the undergraduate biology program of their university. The results were surprising: "The number of wrong answers was a better predictor of the hormonal changes (increase in successful, decrease in unsuccessful students) than the self-estimated number of wrong answers or a subjectively opinionated impression from the exam." ( Flegr. 2010 ) So, while high testosterone to cortisol ratios before the exams did correlate negatively with self-estimated number of wrong answers, the bodies of the subjects reacted to what I suspect was an increased feeling of distres...
