I think the lab rats have a great time living fast on rat chow yet knowing they are doing so for a noble cause. I feel a Disney movie coming on.I think there is a good chance that they will soon conquer this dreadful epidemic of diabetes in mice.
I'm sorry I concentrated on the article linked to1 It is a rat study
Yes and you are right they were mice and I am sorry for any offence caused to rats or mice.I'm sorry I concentrated on the article linked to
Which contained the following quote so I thought maybe mice were somehow involved my appologies if I was wrong to assume that.
“And in [high-fat diet]-fed mice with PKCε intact — which are glucose intolerant — we saw more of the unhealthy, engorged fat cells, that tend to have less access to oxygen and become inflamed.”
Edit to add oh and the following
Schmitz-Peiffer and colleagues fed mice a high-fat diet, thus inducing symptoms of type 2 diabetes, such as glucose intolerance and insulin resistance, in the animals. Insulin resistance occurs when the liver no longer reacts to insulin, the hormone secreted by the pancreas.
Then, the researchers knocked out the gene responsible for PKCɛ in the liver, or the gene responsible for PKCɛ in the entire adipose tissue of the mice, and compared the results.
Schmitz-Peiffer reports on the findings, saying: “The big surprise was that when we removed PKCε production specifically in the liver — the mice were not protected.”
But that won't make any money duhh! keep feeding the humans junk chow then create drugs to deal with symptoms but don't cure the disease.To avoid endlessly searching for ever more complex solutions to what evolution apparently got wrong, we could, alternatively, just stop shovelling gargantuan quantities of glucose and fructose down our necks.
That rat/mice chow is disgusting stuff, full of both high processed fat and high glucose/carbs. No wonder it causes the poor rodents to get sick.
Other studies have been criticised for using the chow, or similar mixes, but they carry on.
So basically the rat/mice chow was very similar to highly processed human food.That rat/mice chow is disgusting stuff, full of both high processed fat and high glucose/carbs. No wonder it causes the poor rodents to get sick.
Other studies have been criticised for using the chow, or similar mixes, but they carry on.
Just noticed your post. You have said what I had tried to say - but in a much clearer way.Interestingly, the macro composition and use of seed oils makes the specially formulated obesogenic rat chow almost identical to the Standard American Diet, at least several researcher claim.
I thought the scientists would have known what clean keto was...
This is interesting: https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2015/01/23/thinking-about-obesity-and-diabetes/Thanks all! I figured this study was probably done to sell another drug to us. I hadn't considered the high fat diet they used would also be high carb / seed oil based. I thought the scientists would have known what clean keto was and were feeding the rodents that.. :***:
So is it true that insulin resistance (from a high carb AND high fat diet) usually comes first and the weight problem follows, rather than the other way round? Or does it just depend on the individual I suppose?
I'm still wondering how a sumo wrestler can be healthy but a TOFI ends up with fat only around the organs. Is the difference in their genes, diet or activity levels? Or is that a mystery?
Because most are quite young and many don't survive into a ripe old age..I'm still wondering how a sumo wrestler can be healthy
