DHT improves glucose metabolism in diabetic rats, researchers divided them into 3 groups: sedentary…
Testosterone improves glucose metabolism of hypogonadal men with type 2 diabetes.
"We found that TRT could improve glycemic control and decrease triglyceride levels of hypogonadal men with type 2 diabetes mellitus"
Thiamine lowers plasma glucose levels in diabetics.
The PDH complex can't function without B1, supplementing it can drastically improve glucose metabolism.
If you're doing any form of exercise on a low carb diet, you're basically cortisol-maxxing.
low carb-black lines. high carb-gray lines.
B2 reverts cognitive decline and neuroinflammation caused by endotoxin(LPS).
FAD (Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide) and FMN (Flavin Mononucleotide) are specialized electron carriers known as flavoproteins, both are produced from B2. 1/6 🧵
Once a brain cell dies, generating a new one in its place is extremely difficult, Neurological disorders like…
This research demonstrates that vitamin B1 prevents the death of brain cells, thus might an effective tool against neurodegeneration.
B1 should be the standard treatment for diabetes.
Together with potassium, B2 , B3 and aspirin.
Androgen receptor is a crucial factor in glucose oxidation.
They tested the levels of DHT in 852 men.
Then divided them into 3 group: Low DHT, Average DHT, High DHT and tested Testosterone,SHBG,glucose,insulin and triglycerids.
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Characterized by the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, leading to an…
This study shows that glucose enhances pancreatic beta cells mass, avoiding sugar is the easiest way to make yourself "type 1 diabetic".
16 overweight women with PCOS were put on ketogenic diet for 12 weeks, this is truly evil in my opinion but…
50 diabetics received vitamin D3(50,000 IU) once a week for 8 weeks, then tested for:
- Fasting blood sugar - Insulin - IL-6 -TNF - a the results:
Low B1 levels cause oxidative stress and drive neurodegeneration.
Estrogen therapy decreased LDL particle size.
they penetrate easier to the arterial wall, more susceptible to oxidation, harder to clear from bloodstream by the liver, associated with insulin resistance and metabolic syndromes.
80 overweight and pre-diabetic people got 800 IU vitamin E for 3 months and 1200 IU for another 3 months…
the results?
Mice on high fat diet became obese and developed glucose intolerance, high fat diet affected 102 proteins in…
B1 raises testosterone and creates stronger wood.
People with diabetes usually have sleep issues.
In this randomized controlled trial they gave 300 diabetics: 1) placebo. 2)250mg magnesium gluconate. 3)250mg potassium chloride. 4)magnesium and potassium. sleep quality, cortisol and melatonin levels were tested. the results?
To test if potassium improves insulin sensitivity,
a double blind, placebo controlled study gave 11 subjects 3.5g oral potassium chloride or citrate per day for 2 weeks. the results?
Impaired glucose metabolism in the brain of subjects with schizophrenia, these subjects also had lower levles…
The brain uses A LOT of energy, mainly in the form of glucose, when it's ability to use glucose and the activity of the krebs cycle declines, mental diseases develop. [PMID: 27845781]
Case study: 57-year-old women, started noticing weight gain and decided to try keto, after 3 months she did…
Abdominal ultrasound showed: "These findings are highly suggestive of hepatic steatosis, or fatty liver disease." She agreed to discontinue the ketogenic diet, "Repeat laboratory testing 10 days after visit to the primary physician revealed improved liver enzymes (AST = 55 U/L, ALT = 80 U/L)" The liver enzymes AST and ALT as part of the gluconeogensis process are known to be elevated in cancer,diabetes,NAFLD, and keto diets, they rise when glucose is not supplied so the body breaks down muscle and organ tissue, and the liver makes glucose from them, I go into details in the article below.
Feeding rats seed oils caused Insulin resistance.
This is not the first study to show that the easiest way to cause Insulin resistance or Diabetes is to increase pufa intake. Control group consumed 7g pufa Second group consumed 19g Soybean oil Third group consumed 19g Canola oil After 60 days both group has much more abdominal fat mass, and an "increased insulin resistance index (+78%) compared to the control group" Polyunsaturated fats are toxic, suppress metabolic rate and cause obesity.

Cortisol causes a significant muscle mass loss.
Found to also be catabolic to the Thymus ,Heart, Liver and spleen, basically toxic to every part of our body. Vitamin D3 on the other hand is protective against cortisol, Completely blocked the atrophy of skeletal muscle mass, Thymus ,Heart ,Liver and spleen. dexamethasone (DEX) is a nasty synthetic glucocorticoid, God knows why but it's a standard protocol to be given to patients with inflammation, edema, certain cancers, autoimmune conditions, allergic reactions, asthma and COVD. Although that it was shown in multiple studies to suppress immunity, cause bone loss, atrophy of basically every tissue that contain amino acids. It comes with no surprise because Cortisol main rule is to maintain Blood Glucose levels during stress and it does so by tearing apart every tissue that contains amino-acid e.g., your brain, muscle, thymus etc. The hero of this study was Vitamin D3, We get it Easily from Cholesterol when we expose our skin to the sun, It completely blocked the nasty effects of DEX. "Vitamin D is considered to be a potent anti-catabolic compound [1,2]. Numerous studies suggest a positive role of vitamin D in sarcopenia prevention" Bad news for the Ice bath lovers, this study also showed that ice bath increase cortisol levels, extreme cold is a stressor so it will trigger cortisol. "As was expected, cold water immersion caused a significant induction of hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis activation and a cortisol surge into the blood" Main study PMID: 33799389 PMCID: PMC7998166 DOI: 10.3390/nu13030936 1.PMID: 32699341 2.PMID: 30529188 #vitaminD#cortisol#muscle#liverhealth#bioenergetics
The levels of 11b-HSD, The enzyme that converts the inactive Cortisone to the active Cortisol was measured in…
