Excersize Prevents Cancer and Preserves Muscle – two articles
Exercise suppresses tumor growth independent of high fat food intake and associated immune dysfunction Taken together, our data support epidemiological findings showing that exercise suppresses tumor growth independent of BMI, however, our data suggest that high-fat feeding attenuates exercise-mediated immune recognition of tumors. Exercise-Mediated Lowering of Glutamine Availability Suppresses Tumor Growth and Attenuates Muscle Wasting…
Taste and Smell in Human Diseases
Dysregulation of chemosensory systems may underlie the much higher mortality rate of COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) compared to ARDSs of different origins. In chronic non-infectious diseases like hypertension, diabetes, or cancer, the impairment of taste and/or olfaction has been consistently reported. This may signal diffuse chemosensory failure, possibly worsening the prognosis of these…
Leucine and Isoleucine: Longevity and Cancer Risk
Leucine and isoleucine are two essential branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) that play crucial roles in metabolism, muscle maintenance, and overall health. However, their impact on longevity and cancer risk is complex and depends on dietary intake, metabolic status, and individual health conditions. Leucine: A Double-Edged Sword Longevity BenefitsMuscle Maintenance & Anti-Sarcopenia: Leucine is well-known for…
Dietary glycation compounds – implications for human health
The term “glycation compounds” comprises a wide range of structurally diverse compounds that are formed endogenously and in food via the Maillard reaction, a chemical reaction between reducing sugars and amino acids. Glycation compounds produced endogenously are considered to contribute to a range of diseases. This has led to the hypothesis that glycation compounds present in food…
B Vitamins and Cancer Risk: What Recent Research Tells Us
B vitamins are essential for health and play a complex role in cancer prevention. While adequate intake from food is protective, excessive supplementation may increase cancer risk in certain situations.
Lactate role in cancer
The article “Lactate and lactylation in gastrointestinal cancer: Current progress and perspectives” delves into the roles of lactate and its derivative modification, lactylation, in the development and progression of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. Traditionally viewed as a mere byproduct of anaerobic metabolism, lactate is now recognized as a significant player in cancer biology. Its accumulation in…
