Fast Lean Pro is a powdered dietary powdery supplement designed to aid in weight loss. It contains a unique combination of ingredients that are believed to activate the body's "fasting switch" to optimize results. This product focuses not only on weight loss but also on promoting cellular rejuvenation, fasting, and a healthy metabolism. The concept behind Fast Lean Pro is that incorporating fasting into one's lifestyle can lead to positive outcomes irrespective of individual food choices and eating habits. To comprehend the mechanism of the Fast Lean Pro process, it is necessary to delve into its specific details. One of the few weight loss pills on the market that contains Fibersol is Fast Lean Pro. This safe, specialized fiber adds bulk to its weight when combined with water, curbing your appetite before it throws off your meal plan. If you're trying to lose weight or curb your appetite, Fast Lean Pro can help. Supporting substances such as niacin and chromium contribute to this. The body can further benefit from these nutrients, such as through improved metabolic regulation. Fast lean Pro is non-GMO, vegan friendly, and contains no artificial ingredients or stimulants. Fast Lean Pro is a weight loss product that promotes the body's natural self-feeding process. The body naturally removes old, damaged cells through a process known as autophagy to encourage cell regeneration and repair. Recent studies by a group

  • The method of insulin potentiation therapy was empirically invented in 1930 from Mexican doctor D. Perez Garsia
  • increases the permeability of cell membrane
  • influences the metabolic processes in human body with the increase of the regenerating processes
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • facilitates the transport of intra and extra cellular liquids which helps the organism to eliminate the toxic products
  • The increased number of insulin receptors on the tumor cell, in comparison to the normal one, allows the before mentioned 2 factors to act predominantly
  • Increased permeability after the insulin effect on the cellular membrane results in increased intracellular quantity of antitumor agents
  • have other endocrine effects: directly stimulates suprarenal gland to produce epinephrine and glucocorticoid hormones and stimulates ACTH secretion. These endocrine effects also have a positive influence on the regenerating processes
  • Insulin influences the intracellular metabolism of the tumor cell, which leads to increase of the number of cells in phase S, where they are with highly sensitive to specific chemotherapeutics.
  • After the first 6 IPT applications overall (groups A and B) response to treatment on PSA criteria shows partial effect and stabilization in 12 of 16 (75%) patients

Plant-Based Nutritional Supplementation Attenuates LPS-Induced Low-Grade Systemic Activation - 0 views

  • consumption of this particular diet for at least a 2-month period helped to reduce the outcomes of both acute and chronic inflammation induced by LPS.
  • chronic inflammation compromised both glucose and insulin tolerance, which is normally seen in certain chronic metabolic diseases
  • LPS resulted in an increase in neopterin levels, which is a marker for immune system activation
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • diet enriched in fruits and vegetables (and consequently phytochemicals) was able to reverse the process and maintain and even elevate insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance
  • LPS-mediated effects are related to an increase in TLR4 levels that triggers the activation of nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB), a transcription factor that activates a cascade of inflammatory mediators [41]. These factors control the transcription of inflammatory mediators, such as IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, TNF-β, INF-α, INFβ, INF-γ
  • Inflammation can alter insulin action and give rise to diabetes and obesity by blocking insulin receptor downstream events, impairing insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) activation and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent (PI3K) pathways, therefore compromising insulin signaling
  • systemic inflammation (generated by LPS) also increased neopterin levels in the urine and resulted in altered neuronal activity by decreasing dopamine (DA) metabolism
  • an increase in neopterin levels has been recognized a sensitive biomarker for immune system activation
  • Our experiments denoted that these diets were able to diminish inflammatory mediators and oxidative damage

Inborn-like errors of metabolism are determinants of breast cancer risk, clinical response and survival: a study of human biochemical individuality - 0 views

  • We now recognize that human cancers evolve in an environment of metabolic stress. Rapidly proliferating tumor cells deprived of adequate oxygen, nutrients, hormones and growth factors up-regulate pathways that address these deficiencies to overcome hypoxia (HIF), vascular insufficiency (VEGF), growth factor deprivation (EGFR, HER2) and the loss of hormonal support (ER, PR, AR) all to enhance survival and proliferation
  • RAS, PI3K, TP53 and MYC
  • The results suggest that breast cancer could be preceded by systemic subclinical disturbances in glucose-insulin homeostasis characterized by mild, likely asymptomatic, IEM-like biochemical changes
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • The process would include variable periods of hyperinsulinemia with the consequent systemic MYC activation of glycolysis, glutaminolysis, structural lipidogenesis and further exacerbation of hypoglycemia, the result of MYC's known role as an inhibitor of liver gluconeogenesis
  • The metabolic changes we describe in breast cancer arise in concert with IEM-like changes in oxidative phosphorylation as detected by increased values of the ratio lactate/pyruvate (Supplementary Table 2A, 2B) characteristic of Ox/Phos deficiency [25]. In our study, 76% (70/92) of the European breast cancer patients had lactate/pyruvate ratios values higher than the normal value of 25.8
  • four-fold higher frequency of cancer (including breast) in patients with energy metabolism disorders
  • growing recognition that cancer cells differ from their normal counterparts in their use of nutrients, synthesis of biomolecules and generation of energy
  • glutamine concentrations in the cancer patients were reduced to nearly 1/8 of the levels observed in the normal population
  • blood concentrations of aspartate (p = 1.7e-67, FDR = 8.3e-67) (Figure ​(Figure1E)1E) and glutamate (p = 6.4e-96, FDR = 6.2e-95) (Figure ​(Figure1F)1F) were nearly 10 fold higher than the normal ranges of 0–5 μM/L and 40 μM/L, respectively
  • glutamine consumption associated with parallel increases in glutamate and aspartate (Figure ​(Figure1A1A red arrows) is considered a hallmark of MYC-driven “glutaminolysis”
  • Gln/Glu ratio inversely correlates with i- late stage metabolic syndrome and with ii- increased chance of death
  • changes in glutamine consumption, reflected by the Gln/Glu ratio could provide a metabolic link between breast cancer initiation and diabetes, reflective of a systemic metabolic reprogramming from glucose to glutamine as the preferred source of precursors for biosynthetic reactions and cellular energy
  • lower Gln/Glu ratios inversely correlated with insulin resistance and the risk of diabetes
  • the metabolic dependencies of cancer characterized by excessive glycolysis, glutaminolysis and malignant lipidogenesis, previously considered a consequence of local tumor DNA aberration [23] could, instead, represent a systemic biochemical aberration that predates and very likely promotes tumorigenesis
  • these metabolic disturbances would be expected to remain extant after therapeutic interventions
  • accumulation of very long chain acylcarnitines such as C14:1-OH (p = 0.0, FDR = 0.0), C16 (p = 0.0, FDR = 0.0), C18 (p = 0.0, FDR = 0.0) and C18:1 (p = 1.73e-322, FDR = 1.16-321) and lipids containing VLCFA (lysoPC a C28:0) (p = 1.14-e95, FDR = 1.65e-95) in the blood of breast and colon cancer patients
  • Among the most powerful metabolic equations for MYC-activation is that which links the widely used MYC-driven desaturation marker ratio of SFA/MUFA to the MYC glutaminolysis-associated ratio of (Asp/Gln)
  • liver dysfunction shares many features with both IEM and cancer suggesting a role for hepatic dysfunction in carcinogenesis
  • cancer “conscripts” the human genome to meet its needs under conditions of systemic metabolic stress

  •  
    Elevated insulin levels in men is associated with decreased liver production of SHBG and thus reduced SHBG levels.  Obesity is associated with decreased urinary cortisol in this study.  The authors found the low cortisol also contributed to the low SHBG as well. Low SHBG is associated with puberty, obesity, IR, hypothyroidism, and during androgen therapy.  SHBG is increased as a result of aging, short-term fasting, Estrogen, hyperthyroid, and liver disease.

Normalization of testosterone level is associated with reduced incidence of myocardial infarction and mortality in men | European Heart Journal - 0 views

  • In this study of men with low TT levels and without prior MI or stroke, normalization of TT levels using TRT is associated with lower all-cause mortality, fewer MIs, and ischaemic strokes.
  • retrospective study
  • significant benefit is observed only if the dose is adequate to normalize the TT levels
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • the mechanisms for these effects remain speculative
  • It can be postulated that the beneficial effect of normal T levels on adipose tissue, insulin sensitivity, and lipid profiles or by its anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant properties, as reported by other investigators, might have contributed to our findings
  • off-label use of TRT remains a concern
  • Recent FDA analyses suggest that currently only half of the men on TRT had been diagnosed with hypogonadism
  • 25% of users did not have their T concentrations tested prior to initiating therapy
  • 21% of those prescribed TRT did not have their levels tested at any time during treatment
  • two very recent meta-analyses suggested a lack of convincing evidence posed by TRT.
  • men without a history of previous MI or stroke who have low TT levels, TRT might be associated with decreased risks of MI, ischaemic stroke, and all-cause mortality in long-term follow-up
  • TRT should aim for doses resulting in normalization of TT level as this was shown to be associated with reduction in adverse CV events
  •  
    Testosterone therapy in men with low T to restore physiologic Testosterone levels found to reduce mortality, MI, and stroke risk.

Fructose decreases physical activity and increases body fat without affecting hippocampal neurogenesis and learning relative to an isocaloric glucose diet : Scientific Reports : Nature Publishing Group - 0 views

  • the fructose animals gained significantly more weight than the glucose animals
  • The average liver mass of mice in the fructose treatment group was 20% heavier than for mice in the glucose group
  • The fat pads of mice consuming the fructose diet were 69% heavier than the fat pads of animals consuming the glucose diet
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • there are many studies showing that consumption of fructose in comparison to other monosaccharides results in increased de novo lipogenesis, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, BW6, 7 and, most recently, impaired cognitive function
  • in the present study, the intake of fructose by mice was more similar to that of typical human consumption in comparison to previous studies
  • prolonged consumption of diets containing fructose (11 weeks) increased BW and body fat deposition
  • studies in humans confirm that fructose, but not glucose (when provided as 25% of energy requirements), in the context of an energy-balanced diet increases de novo lipogenesis and visceral adiposity along with dyslipidemia, decreases insulin sensitivity10, 12 and decreases in fat oxidation
  • we hypothesize that fructose may reduce voluntary energy expenditure in terms of physical activity.
  • significant reduction (~20%) in physical activity in the fructose-fed animals in comparison to glucose
  • a recent study reported that ingestion of fructose (25% energy intake, 10 weeks) in human volunteers also resulted in reduced energy expenditure in relation to a diet with the same glucose dose
  • There is certainly evidence to suggest that, for example, exercise is able to prevent dyslipidemia in healthy subjects fed a weight-maintenance high-fructose diet (30%)54, which strongly suggests a protective role of physical activity in metabolic regulation.
  • the potential negative effects of fructose in brain and cognitive function have been investigated, with a series of studies showing cognitive deficits in spatial memory and learning in adolescent and adult animals following access to a high fructose diet
  • access to both fructose and sucrose, but not glucose, results in a 40% reduction in hippocampal neurogenesis
  • Collectively these studies seem to suggest that fructose consumption can have a considerable impact on hippocampal function and learning, which is in direct contrast with what we observed.
  • the impact of fructose is apparent only in BW, liver mass and body fat, but not in cognitive measures or rates of neurogenesis
  •  
    animal study finds that fructose increased liver mass, abdominal fat and decreased physical activity when compared to glucose.  The study groups were iso caloric, but one group was fed 18% fructose and the other 18% glucose.
