Kent Holtorf: Long Term Weight Loss - More Than Will Power? - 0 views

  • which is a major reason for the regaining of lost weight with dieting as well being the mechanism behind stress induced weight gain (it is not due to increased cortisol).
  • f greater than 10, it demonstrates there is a degree of leptin resistance contributing to an inability to lose weight
  • that it is difficult to lose weight with leptin resistance. High carbohydrate diets and in particular high-fructose corn syrup is shown to significantly increase leptin resistance and is a likely mechanism that high fructose corn syrup is associated with obesity

  • inactive thyroid hormone called thyroxine
  • it is problem inside the cell that the inactive T4 is not converted to T3 but rather to a mirror image of T3 called reverse T3. The reverse T3 has the opposite effect of T3, blocking the effects of T3 and lowering rather than increasing metabolism.
  • Studies are showing that stress and dieting (especially yo-yo dieting) can set this hormone into action as well as chronic illness such as diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
  • As soon as the body senses a reduction in calories, the production of reverse T3 is stimulated to lower metabolism
  • With chronic dieting or stress, the body often stays in this "starvation mode" with elevated levels of reverse T3 and decreased levels of T3, which is a major reason for the regaining of lost weight with dieting as well being the mechanism behind stress induced weight gain (it is not due to increased cortisol).

  • which is a major reason for the regaining of lost weight with dieting as well being the mechanism behind stress induced weight gain (it is not due to increased cortisol).
  • Studies are showing that such standard testing will miss 80% of thyroid dysfunction

    Study proposes that 11beta-HSD type 1 is the key to linking glucocorticoids and metabolic dysfunction.  The key point of this study is that it is the adipose tissue expression of 11beta-HSD type 1 that is the key.

    Association of low TT, SHBG, and free Testosterone with MetS was found in this study on men.  The association was influenced by BMI i.e. the overweight were found to have a higher association than the normal BMI.

The Ketogenic Diet and Sport: A Possible Marriage? : Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews - 0 views

  • It is important to note that, although the blood level of glucose drops, it still remains at a physiological level (23), which is maintained through gluconeogenesis involving glucogenic amino acids and also glycerol released from triglycerides
  • “physiological ketosis” where KB levels may rise to 7 to 8 mmol L-1 (but without any pH change). In “pathological diabetic ketoacidosis,” on the other hand, ketonemia can exceed 20 mmol L-1 and also cause lowering of blood pH
  • in the initial phase of KD, about 16% of glucose comes from glycerol (released from triglyceride hydrolysis) and the bulk (60–65 g) from proteins via gluconeogenesis (proteins may be of either dietary or endogenous origin
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • the protein supply consumed during a KD “preserves,” as demonstrated, lean body mass
  • The importance of glycerol as a glucose source increases progressively during ketosis; in fact, glycerol passes from supplying 16% of total glucose to an average of 60% after many days (>7 d) of complete fasting (from 38% in lean individual to 79% in the obese).
  • The possible reasons for the effectiveness of KD for weight loss may be listed as follows, in order of evidence, strongest first: Figure 3Image Tools 1. Appetite reduction: protein satiety, effects on appetite-related hormones such as ghrelin, and possibly a sort of direct appetite-blocking effect of KB 2. Reduced lipogenesis and increased fat oxidation 3. A reduction in respiratory quotient may indicate a greater metabolic efficiency in fat oxidation 4. A thermic effect of proteins and increased energy usage by gluconeogenesis
  • all data regarding biochemical and molecular mechanisms suggest that it is very difficult to increase muscle mass during a KD; use of which really should be limited to the few days immediately before competition in bodybuilding.
  • a long-term KD can interfere with some muscle hypertrophy mechanisms and this could be counterproductive if the aim of the athlete is to gain muscle mass

ingentaconnect The Role of Orexin System in Antipsychotics Induced Weight Gain - 0 views

  • The orexins modulate feeding behavior, some metabolic processes and arousal.
  •  
    antipsychotics are associated with significant weight gain.  One proposed mechanism is the increased activation of orexin neurons in the areas of the brain (lateral hypothalamus and perifornical area) that regulate eating.  Amphetamines stimulate the same, just a drastically reduced levels

Diagnosis and treatment of late-onset hypogonadism: Systematic review and meta-analysis... - 0 views

  •  
    Testosterone therapy is complex in hypogonadism.  Much of the marketing-based medicine of Low T today is in fact doping.  Increasing weight is clearly associated with a declining T level in men.  Testosterone therapy should be approach individually and therapies that use the one size fits all approach never work.  This is the case whether the use of synthetics or natural hormones are employed.  Testosterone has been shown to improve dysglycemia, MetS, reduce fat and increase muscle mass.

  •  
    High branch chain amino acids can promote insulin resistance.  This study points out that long-term high protein dietary intake can actually have significant deleterious effects and lead to disease.  A high fat diet appears to be required for this effect.

  •  
    This study reveals what is wrong with a lot of the "standard practice" and literature in medicine today.  At 5 years, almost 50% of weight loss with gastric sleeve is regained--defined as excess weight loss (only 50% weight loss of excess weight).  That is a terrible 5 year outcome; not to mention the definition of success.  Even at 3 years, 31% had regained their "excess weight".  Add to that, the numbers of patients that followed up was terrible.  This poor follow up points to worse data outcomes than this study claims.
