glycogen

A human study, which makes it that much more important. While the findings are not very surprising, what is important to take from the study is that 1) elevated blood glucose is likely a good biomarker of poor mitochondrial function, 2) exposure to just 15min of red light daily can lower blood...

Hey everyone! I have a rather different question (series of questions) at hand, to put simply - what would be the best carbs in terms of staying within the 'PEATY REALM' and optimizing physical performance? First thing that comes to mind is starch, but isn't starch bad per se? Carbs make my...

This study looked at the performance enhancing effects of erythromycin and other anti-biotics in mice, with some pretty interesting results. Erythromycin was very effective at increasing the swimming time in mice. "After intragastric administration for 3consecutive days, erythromycin showed a...

As turns out, yet again, vitamin D is far from being the simple "bone vitamin" as most TV/online commercials would have us believe. It is actually a (seco)steroid and has already been implicated in a host of metabolic and immune process affecting virtually every disease. Recently, I posted a few...

Another win for the power-herb cistanche. This study showed that it increases glycogen content in muscles of diabetic Rats by over 50% and in their liver by over 40%. Given that the glycogen content didn't exceed the value of normal control groups, it'd rather call it a "normalization" of...

How often do you still hear that serotonin helps with sleep? Well if someone says that to you again, show them this. https://men-elite.com/2021/06/17/serotonin-dubs-thee-sleepless/

Interesting study. I think it's widely known that vitamin B1 increases glucose metabolism , and it does so partly because it increases glycogen storage . So theres no/ less need for cortisol to kick in during a workout . And as you can see In the figure below glucose utilization only increases...

Low dose doxycycline decreases systemic inflammation and improves glycemic control, lipid profiles, and islet morphology and function in <i>db/db</i> mice Low dose doxycycline decreases systemic inflammation and improves glycemic control, lipid profiles, and islet morphology and function in...

Low carbohydrate diet induces metabolic depression: a possible mechanism to conserve glycogen. - PubMed - NCBI Long-term studies have found low carbohydrate diets are more effective for weight loss than calorie restricted diets in the short-term, but equally or only marginally more effective...

Insulin Neuroprotection and the Mechanisms Insulin, Neuroprotection, GABA, Glucose, Glycogen, Ischemia, Glutamate Introduction Insulin is the only endocrinology hormone to decrease blood glucose. In addition, insulin serves as a growth factor, modulating mitogenesis, growth, and...

One person I always look for giving advice is Haidut, and I'm sure I'm joined by many others. Not trying to say people are giving bad advice, etc. With lack of time its easy to go to a source I can trust fairly easily, and for me its this guy. So in the coming times I want to create posts which...

[Influence of manganese on the level of glycogen and its fractions in organism tissues]. - Abstract - Europe PMC Abstract Changes in the level of total glycogen and its fractions in the organism tissues were studied under conditions of injecting different doses of manganese into intact rabbits...

Natalie Zimmerman of McCarbthyism: "A channel devoted to promoting a scientific understanding of carbohydrates and their essential role in the human diet. We don't practice McCarbthyism, the irrational fear mongering that views our natural desire to eat carbohydrates as the primary reason for...

This study shed some light on why the fast dividing cells like bacteria and cancer prefer to use glycolysis even in the presence of oxygen - i.e. the well-known Warburg effect. The study says this is due to the fact that after factoring the energetic cost of synthesizing the mechanisms that...

The dose used was not that high and is a human equivalent of 2,500mg - 3,000mg daily. The other findings of note were that a single dose of taurine was enough to produce that effect, and also that taurine increased the consumption/oxidation of glucose. Taurine induced these effects through...

Postexercise muscle glycogen synthesis with combined glucose and fructose ingestion. "Glucose and glucose/fructose (2:1 ratio) solutions, ingested at a rate of 90 g x h(-1), are equally effective at restoring muscle glycogen in exercised muscles during the recovery from exhaustive exercise."...

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18467543 We determined the effect of coingestion of caffeine (Caff) with carbohydrate (CHO) on rates of muscle glycogen resynthesis during recovery from exhaustive exercise in seven trained subjects who completed two experimental trials in a randomized...

I posted some studies on biotin, including its effects on blood lipids and insulin sensitivity. There have also been discussions on the forum about supplements or drugs that promote glycogen synthesis, since glycogen synthesis and levels are both low in hypothyroid people. In addition to the...
