  • n the presence of GLA 5 microg/ml and dexamethasone the degree of apoptosis was 86%
  • These results demonstrate that GLA induces apoptosis in B-CLL B- and T-cells cells in vitro and that they are more susceptible to GLA-induced apoptosis than normal peripheral blood B- and T-cells.
  •  
    GLA, omega-6 found in plant based oils,  kills 42% of leukemia cells; with dexamethasone, the kill rate increases to 86%

LeanBiome Lean for Good is a weight loss dietary supplement derived from scientifically researched ingredients and comprehensively developed to help people achieve sustainable weight control. The formula comes in a capsule format that is easy to take and is made with natural ingredients from plants and other sources to achieve its goals. The main ingredient in LeanBiome is piperine, which has been found to affect the body's ability to absorb micronutrients and other compounds more effectively. LeanBiome is a dietary supplement that claims to help weight management. It contains 100% natural ingredients that support healthy weight loss. It does not interfere with any natural process making it safe for use. It ranks among the top weight loss supplements that claim to provide a permanent solution. LeanBiome is made by a company named Lean for Good. It is made with natural and research-backed ingredients that help you lose excess fat without hassles. It is sold in capsule form. The company assures the composition is GMO, gluten, and soy-free. As for manufacturing standards, you need not fret. The company makes the supplement in a facility certified by the FDA. How Does LeanBiome Work? The starting period of the LeanBiome program includes a detoxification process that effectively removes any accumulated ree radicals, toxins, fand oxidative stress. This cleansing enables improved blood circulation, setting the stage for the body to initiate its own fat-burning mechanisms. To enhance metabolic activity, introducing the lean bacteria contained in LeanBiome to your gut microbiome is a beneficial approach. This activation triggers r

The role of short-chain fatty acids in the interplay between diet, gut microbiota, and ... - 0 views

  • Acetate, propionate, and butyrate are present in an approximate molar ratio of 60:20:20 in the colon and stool
  • SCFAs might play a key role in the prevention and treatment of the metabolic syndrome, bowel disorders, and certain types of cancer
  • SCFA administration positively influenced the treatment of ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and antibiotic-associated diarrhea
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • Gut bacteria in the cecum and large intestine produce SCFAs mainly from nondigestible carbohydrates that pass the small intestine unaffected
  • plant cell-wall polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, and resistant starches
  • inulin shifted the relative production of SCFAs from acetate to propionate and butyrate
  • age of approximately 3–4 years, when it becomes mature
  • SCFAs affect lipid, glucose, and cholesterol metabolism
  • colonocytes, the first host cells that take up SCFAs and which depend largely on butyrate for their energy supply
  • the microbiota educate the immune system and increase the tolerance to microbial immunodeterminants
  • the microbiota act as a metabolic organ that can break down otherwise indigestible food components, degrade potentially toxic food compounds like oxalate, and synthesize certain vitamins and amino acids
  • a large part of the SCFAs is used as a source of energy
  • The general idea is that colonocytes prefer butyrate to acetate and propionate, and oxidize it to ketone bodies and CO2
  • Exogenous acetate formed by colonic bacterial fermentation enters the blood compartment and is mixed with endogenous acetate released by tissues and organs (103, 104). Up to 70% of the acetate is taken up by the liver (105), where it is not only used as an energy source, but is also used as a substrate for the synthesis of cholesterol and long-chain fatty acids and as a cosubstrate for glutamine and glutamate synthesis
  • SCFAs regulate the balance between fatty acid synthesis, fatty acid oxidation, and lipolysis in the body.
  • Fatty acid oxidation is activated by SCFAs, while de novo synthesis and lipolysis are inhibited
  • obese animals in this study showed a 50% reduction in relative abundance of the Bacteroidetes (i.e., acetate and propionate producers), whereas the Firmicutes (i.e., butyrate producers) were proportionally increased compared with the lean counterparts.
  • increase in total fecal SCFA concentrations in obese humans.
  • In humans the distinct relation between the Firmicutes:Bacteroidetes ratio and obesity is less clear.

Prior Dietary Practices and Connections to a Human Gut Microbial Metacommunity Alter Re... - 0 views

  • Long-term DPs play a large role in determining the selective environment that the gut microbiota faces, ultimately influencing the composition and diversity of taxa maintained within the gut microbial community
  • Americans consuming unrestricted diets maintained less diverse fecal microbiota than those of individuals adhering to a plant-rich diet with restricted caloric intake
  • Experiments in mice have shown that multigenerational exposure to a Western diet poor in “microbiota-accessible carbohydrates” can lead to extirpation of specific bacterial lineages
  •  
    Diet is the key to gut microbe diversity.  Gut microbes are key to maintaining optimal cellular metabolism.  Nutrition can be a prescription for improving and reprogramming gut bacteria.

Nutritional Modulation of Insulin Resistance - 0 views

  • Five branched chain and aromatic amino acids (isoleucine, leucine, valine, tyrosine, and phenylalanine) showed significant associations with future diabetes
  • there is increasing evidence that longer term high-protein intake may have detrimental effects on insulin resistance [68, 117–123], diabetes risk [69], and the risk of developing cardiovascular disease
  • high-protein and the high GI diets significantly increased markers of low-grade inflammation
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • significant and clinically relevant worsening of insulin sensitivity with an isoenergetic plant-based high-protein diet
  • healthy humans that are exposed to amino acid infusions rapidly develop insulin resistance
  • longer term high-protein intake has been shown to result in whole-body insulin resistance [68, 118], associated with upregulation of factors involved in the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/S6K1 signalling pathway [68], increased stimulation of glucagon and insulin within the endocrine pancreas, high glycogen turnover [118] and stimulation of gluconeogenesis [68, 118].
  • it was recently shown in a large prospective cohort with 10 years followup that consuming 5% of energy from both animal and total protein at the expense of carbohydrates or fat increases diabetes risk by as much as 30% [69]. This reinforces the theory that high-protein diets can have adverse effects on glucose metabolism.
  • Another recent study showed that low-carbohydrate high-protein diets, used on a regular basis and without consideration of the nature of carbohydrates or the source of proteins, are also associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease [70], thereby indicating a potential link between high-protein Western diets, T2DM, and cardiovascular risk.
