[QUOTE="LaoDan, post: 2525635, member: 524245"] I still find the subject quite interesting. Insulin is slightly anabolic to both muscle and adipose tissues. Without it, I assume it’s catabolic to both as well. Bodybuilers purposefully spike their insulin levels post workout by adding dextrose to their post workout drinks. I guess it’s to force feed muscle with nutrients and drive protein synthesis. Yet they are not adding of adipose tissue in the process. Now take a person with hyperinsulenmia, we tell them they need to reduce their insulin levels so they can lose muscle tissue, the main glucose disposal site. I know I’m kind of twisting things, but to make a point. the hard thing is to have a lifestyle that’s anabolic towards muscle and catabolic to adipose, and how we can use hyperinsulenmia as an advantage. At least in the short term, obviously it won’t last for ever. sorry for my post coffee yapping [/QUOTE]
