Central to Alzheimer's pathology is a phenomenon known as brain hypometabolism. Let me explain better what that term means. 🧵 (1/25) #alzheimers #AD #neurotwitter
Brain hypometabolism refers to a state of reduced metabolic activity in the brain, characterized by a decreased uptake and utilization of glucose - the primary #energy source for brain cells. (2/25)
This disastrous metabolic slowdown is not just a mere lack of energy, although that would be devastating enough. It triggers a cascade of effects that impair neuronal function and disrupts communication between #brain cells. (3/25)

Should people be concerned with blood glucose concentrations if they don’t have prediabetes or diabetes?
1/10

#glucose #health #biohack #science #metabolism #cgms #hba1c #sugarspikes
For context, the relationship between LDL-cholesterol concentration and coronary heart disease risk appears linear across the entire physiological range

What about glucose?
2/10
For glucose, it might depend how it’s measured:

STANDARDISED TESTS (reflect underlying physiology)
-Fasting [glucose]
-2-h [glucose] post-OGTT

FREE-LIVING MEASURES (reflect underlying physiology x acute behaviour)
-HbA1c
-CGMS variables

What do the data show?

Research suggests that these changes in cognitive function (#brain fog, poor memory, mood, and focus) may be accompanied by dysfunction in #brain energy metabolism that can be treated with #metabolic therapies. (1/17)
Cognitive dysfunction can arise when the brain's energy supply is disrupted. It's called brain hypometabolism. (2/17)
Head traumas and concussions in sports or accidents are associated with such changes and can cause behavioral changes and memory loss in adults. But you don't need a history of head injury for cognitive decline to occur. (3/17)

Migraine, a common neurological disorder, may be a metabolic as much as a neurological disease, with the migraine attack serving as a warning signal to increased oxidative stress and/or hypometabolism. (1/21) #neurotwitter #hypometabolism
Despite being primarily studied in terms of neuro-vasculature and neurotransmission, recent research suggests that migraine's pathogenic mechanisms may be linked to metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction. (2/21) #mitochondria
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies have consistently shown decreased ATP levels and abnormal mitochondrial function in migraineurs, suggesting a metabolic component to the disorder. (3/21)

We are discovering exciting things about how therapeutic nutritional ketosis could benefit those living with serious mental illnesses. It's time for a short thread about two main ways this could be happening. 🧵 (1/13)
First is the direct effect of ketones. Scientific studies have shown that people with serious mental illnesses often have trouble using glucose efficiently for fuel. Ketones supply fuel that doesn't depend on insulin or the cell's ability to metabolize glucose. (2/13)
By providing the brain with this alternative fuel source, ketones can help enhance energy production and improve cognitive function in people with serious mental illnesses. (3/13) #lifechanging

Taking frequent walking breaks during prolonged sitting could help lower blood sugar and BP

1. Sedentary lifestyle with prolonged sitting hours (>8 hours daily) is common these days.
Frequent walking breaks (1 min or 5 min every 30-60 minutes) could help lower blood sugar and BP
2. When participants took a 5-minute light #walk after every half hour of sitting, the blood #glucose spike after eating was reduced by 58% compared with sitting all day (reduction one would see in a diabetic using insulin or #diabetes medications to control their blood sugar).
3. The largest reductions in systolic blood pressure were observed when the walking break was 1 minute every 60 minutes (-5.2 mm Hg).

The less we eat, the longer we live

1. This seems to be true.
A recent extensive review of studies done in geographies with maximum 100+ aged people showed that most of them practiced some form of calories restriction (CR) right from childhood.
#fasting #Longevity #MedTwitter
2. Calorie restriction (CR) is defined as consuming fewer (10-30% lower) calories as compared to usual.
This can be achieved by either intermittent fasting, or time-restricted feeding or substantially reducing carbohydrate intake.
#nutrition #HealthyEating
3. In ageing, #Insulin increases and insulin sensitivity decreases, which increase the risk of #diabetes, #obesity and #cardiovascular diseases. CR reverses these- reduces insulin levels and increases insulin sensitivity. #Glucose levels also reduce with CR.

Today, almost half of the 4 million Americans living with type 1 diabetes use devices called continuous glucose monitors, or CGMs, to monitor their #glucose levels and regulate their insulin levels in real-time.

Q: Which of these would produce biggest the blood sugar response?
(i.e., biggest change in glucose concentration)

Answers below (1/8) 🧵 #glucose #health #metabolism
Have a guess here before reading on to find out if you are right... (2/8)
A: There is no meaningful difference (at least in healthy people) - data from: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28684634/

How can 75 g glucose (3 times more) not increase glucose more than 25 g?

Fructose Coingestion Does Not Accelerate Postexercise Muscle Glycogen Repletion

Our 2016 paper:
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26606271/

A thread with figures.

#fructose #glucose #glycogen Image
The gut absorption of the carbohydrate glucose is the limiting factor in using glucose drinks for energy during exercise (carbohydrate oxidation). Fructose is a carbohydrate that is absorbed differently in the gut than glucose. Sucrose consists out of glucose and fructose.

2/ Image
Therefore, a combined ingestion of glucose and fructose allows a higher total carbohydrate absorption rate, oxidation rate, and exercise performance. But does this combination also improve the recovery of the muscle carbohydrate stores (i.e. muscle glycogen) after exercise?

Thanks for the guesses.

A: Exercise!

Group 2: Untrained

#exercise #glucose #metabolism
Here is the original figure

Note the remarkable increase in glucose immediately after intense exercise (110% VO2 max)

So whats going on here?
2/9
Luckily the authors applied tracer methods to understand rates of appearance (Ra) and disappearance (Rd) of glucose

Whilst exercise did increase Rd (lower panel) Ra increased much more ( and even more so in trained athletes)

I often hear people say venous blood samples are preferable to capillary (fingertip/earlobe) samples.

Why then, do the glycaemic index guidelines make the following recommendation?

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19079901/

Let’s look a little deeper into this… 🧵 1/9 #glucose #metabolism
We will focus here on glucose concentrations.

With glucose tolerance tests or other postprandial tests, a common aim is to understand the ability of the person to maintain relatively stable glucose concentrations.

I.e. the outcome of the integrated response from all organs
2/9
We could sample blood from a few different sites, e.g.

1) artery
2) superficial vein (normally antecubital fossa of the forearm)
3) capillary (e.g. fingertip)
4) interstitial fluid (e.g. CGMs)

Some options can be seen in the figure

Pt 2. After the rather exciting delivery (and some more) arrived, the study design needed to be finalised:

Non-randomised controlled study where we *planned* for experimenters to do the CONTROL arm first, followed by the INTERVENTION arm

Tonight we have a special installment of #MitoMonday as @ClaireBensard hosts a #Tweetorial on her recent paper in @CellMetabolism #LateNightWithTheRutterLab
Can a specific metabolic program provoke a cell to become a cancer cell? Focusing mainly on glucose, with some thoughts on fatty acids, and glutamine, we tested the uncoupling of glycolysis and glucose oxidation to induce the transformation from stem cell to cancer cell. 2/
Long ago, Otto Warburg observed that cancer cells perform aerobic glycolysis, but we didn’t know how a cell could control flux from cytosolic glycolysis to mitochondrial glucose oxidation until the transporter was identified…bit.ly/2RDELqe #MPC 3/
