Human gut microbiota in obesity and after gastric bypass - 0 views

  •  
    It is proposed that the balance of bacteria in the gut play a critical role in energy utilization and obesity. This study showed that bypass surgery altered the gut bacteria to favor weight loss: decrease in firmicutes species. But, do we really need gastric bypass to do that? Of course not. Probiotics will do the same.

Totally Endoscopic Arterial Bypass Surgery (TECAB) Method Used by Dr. Naresh Trehan - 0 views

  •  
    Dr. Naresh Trehan is the best in India offering specialized endoscopic surgery. Dr. Naresh Trehan accomplished the TECAB surgeries-a single bypass and a double bypass-through 4 keyholes (fingertip-size) incisions less than one centimeter long.

Gut microbiota after gastric bypass in human obesity: increased richness and associatio... - 0 views

  •  
    Not that I am proposing gastric bypass for weight loss.  IN my mind that is like a lobotomy for headache.  But, this study shows the link between gut bacteria and obesity.  This study documented an increase in the expression of certain bacteria types in the gut.   This was associated with increase in white adipose tissue gene expression.  Linking directly the gut and fat.

Impact of gastric bypass operation on survival: A population-based analysis - 0 views

  • Thirty-day mortality after gastric bypass is higher than previously reported and closely linked to surgeon inexperience
  •  
    Understand: surgery is surgery.  The death rate from weight loss surgeries is higher than reported as this large study shows.  Another thought: what are the long-term health implications.  I can tell you from the clients that I see, it is not good

Ascorbate in pharmacologic concentrations selectively generates ascorbate radical and h... - 0 views

  • Proposed mechanism
  • The data show that pharmacologic ascorbate concentrations produced Asc•− selectively in extracellular fluid compared with blood and that H2O2 formation occurred when Asc•− concentrations were >100 nM in extracellular fluid.
  • These data validate the hypothesis that ascorbate is a prodrug for selective delivery of reactive species to the extravascular space

  • pharmacologic ascorbate as a prooxidant drug for therapeutic use.
  • Recently we reported that pharmacologic ascorbic acid concentrations produced H2O2 concentrations of ≥25 μM, causing cancer cell death in vitro
  • We found that H2O2 concentrations generated in vivo were those that caused cancer cell death in vitro
  • When ascorbate was given parenterally, Asc•−, the product of a loss of one electron from ascorbate, was detected preferentially in extracellular fluid compared with blood
  • Asc•− generation in extracellular fluid depended on the ascorbate dose and the resulting concentrations
  • With i.v. administration of ascorbate, Asc•− concentrations were as much as 12-fold greater in extracellular fluid compared to blood and approached 250 nM
  • In blood, such Asc•− concentrations were never produced and were always <50 nM
  • These data are all consistent with the hypothesis that pharmacologic ascorbate concentrations in vivo serve as a prodrug for selective delivery of H2O2 to the extracellular space
  • After oral ingestion, control of intracellular and extracellular ascorbate concentrations is mediated by three mechanisms: intestinal absorption, tissue transport, and renal reabsorption
  • intestinal absorption, or bioavailability, declines at doses >200 mg

      equates to 0.06 mM.  Max blood levels found with po AA dosing has been 0.22 mM
  • at approximately this concentration, the ascorbate tissue transporter SVCT2 approaches Vmax, and tissues appear to be saturated
    • Nathan Goodyear
       
      SVCT2 Rc in gut reach max binding.
  • also at ≈60 μM, renal reabsorption approaches saturation, and excess ascorbate is excreted in urine
  • Parenteral administration bypasses tight control
  • When tight control is bypassed, H2O2 forms in the extracellular space
  • in vivo validation of ascorbate as a prodrug for selective H2O2 formation
  • Temporarily bypassing tight control with parenteral administration of ascorbate allows H2O2 to form in discrete time periods only, decreasing likelihood of harm, and provides a pharmacologic basis for therapeutic use of i.v. ascorbate
  • H2O2 formation results in selective cytotoxicity
  • Tumor cells are killed with exposure to H2O2 for ≤30 min
  • In vitro, killing is mediated by H2O2 rather than Asc•−
  • In addition to cancer treatment, another potential therapeutic use is for treatment of infections. H2O2 concentrations of 25–50 μM are bacteriostatic
  • virally infected cells may also be candidates
  •  
    follow up invivo study to previous study from 2005.  Here, the authors prove their hypothesis that ascorbate is a prodrug for delivery of H2O2.

Fructose: A Key Factor in the Development of Metabolic Syndrome and Hypertension - 0 views

  •  
    Fructose intake increases MetS and hypertension.  The high fructose intake upregulates phosphofructokinase which increases triglyceride production, bypassing central regulation.  This results in ATP depletion with reduced capacity to recover.  Thus attempts by the cells to increase ATP through AMP deaminase results in uric acid production.
