"If some is good, more is better!" Unfortunately, this simple maxime does rarely apply when it comes to the physiological response to certain foods and/or supplements. For protein, however, it appears as if the relation holds - at least as long as protein does not become the only energy source in your diet. I guess by now I can simply skip the lengthy introduction telling you about how I didn't want to cherry pick only three out of more than twenty newsworthy studies that were presented at the  Twelfth International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) Conference and Expo in 2015, when I started writing this series right ( click here if you have missed the previous articles)? Well, that's good because it leaves more room for a brief preview of the studies I am about to discuss in today's third serving of the SuppVersity ISSN Research Review 2015  - studies that are all related (in one way or another) to increased protein intake. Either in overweight or obese...

Ever wondered how the "Modern-Day Samurai" of the Drummers of Japan keep in shape? Today's installment of True or False holds the answer to this and other questions ;-) True or false? That's the title of this no longer new series at the Suppversity and it is the question I want to answer after you read the following three statements: (1) "You can use glutamine instead of carbs to replete your glycogen stores", (2) "The only ones who benefit from the use of enterically coated and purportedly systemically acting enzymes are the the manufacturers of respective supplements" and (3) "Drumming burns about as much energy as fast jogging"... hmm, I see you're scratching your head!? Well, the unwritten rules of the game require that you make your prediction before you read the following paragraphs. So, true or false ? You can use glutamine instead of carbs to replete your glycogen stores True. There is yet one big caveat. The glu...

DHEA Protects Rat Livers on a High Fat Diet

First of all, rats are not a particularly good model for DHEA metabolism in human beings. Nevertheless, the results of a study by Magyar et al. ( Magyar. 2010 ) would warrant further investigations into the effectiveness of high dose DHEA supplementation on total scavenger capacity and liver fat content in men. In the course of a 28 day intervention the scientists fed rats on either a normal or a high fat diet and supplemented their drinking water with no DHEA (Control), 400µg DHEA (DHEA) and 150µg DHEA-Sulfate (DHEA-S). Table 1: Fresh frozen liver fat content, SOD, catalase and GST activity results on Day 28 As the figures in Table 1 indicate both, DHEA and DHEA-S were able to reduce the negative effect of the high fat diet on liver fat content and oxidant status (as measured by SOD-, Catalase and GST activity). This is an interesting result, of which the scientists write: Our results support the hypothesis that DHEA and DHEAS supplementation can improve the antioxidant status ...
