AlPater Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) The email list system is broken. Posts cannot be searched. Many of the posts do not make it to the messages I receive individually and via the daily mailings. Therefore, I am sending this message, comprised of citations papers that seem to be appropriate to the room of the Forum. I will try to also provide full-text links and a very brief excerpt or within brackets my synopsis of the paper. I apologize for the fact some papers discuss results of studies on the overweight or obese, but feel that some benefits seen in such subjects bears on a continuum of benefits accrued by CR and provide incentive to folks who are overweight or obese. Below are today's papers.

AlPater Posted August 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Sure, I realize it is hard to translate things from an animal so different from humans, but they may be well positioned for doing studies such as those in the paper using the genetics that are available for the worms, their short lifespans and minimal expense compared to rodents.

No modification was observed in Δ6 desaturase activity, while Δ9 desaturase activity decreased after this period of time. These results were confirmed by liver microsomal and mitochondrial fatty acid composition. The phospholipid composition of liver microsomes was unaltered, whereas in mitochondria, phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin decreased and phosphatidylethanolamine increased due to the cold environment. The influence of food intake and weight changes on fatty acid metabolism was studied using (i) rats maintained at 5 C with restricted food intake to match the food intake of those kept at 24 C with food ad libitum and (ii) rats maintained at 24 C whose food intake was also restricted so that their growth rate would be the same as that of rats maintained at 5 C with food ad libitum, respectively. These results indicate that the negative metabolic balance state of these cold conditions is not an active factor modifier of Δ6 desaturase activity, whereas it decreases Δ9 desaturase activity, reflecting the lipogenic characteristics of the latter enzyme.

I could not find the full-text to the first below paper.] Is Leucine Restriction/Deprivation an Inducer of Adipose Browning? A Response to Jens Lund. Duan Y, Li F, Yin Y. Trends Pharmacol Sci. 2016 Aug 29. pii: S0165-6147(16)30093-1. doi: 10.1016/j.tips.2016.07.004. [Epub ahead of print] No abstract available. PMID: 27587223 Keywords: adipose browning, leucine, obesity. Adult humans do not possess active brown adipose tissue (BAT). If certain white depots could develop brownish characteristics, it could help to reduce the adverse effects of white adipose tissue (WAT) and to improve metabolic health [1]. WAT is principally devoid of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP-1) at thermoneutrality, whereas BAT demonstrates small but significant UCP-1 gene expression at thermoneutrality. The molecular signature that identifies brown and brownlike adipocytes is UCP-1. Pragmatically, browning is defined as any significantly increased UCP-1 expression at the mRNA level occurring in what are normally regarded as WAT depots [2]. Leucine and Adipose Browning: Some Burning Issues In a recent letter [3] in response to our article on leucine and adipose browning [4], Jens Lund suggests that leucine restriction/deprivation is a potential inducer of adipose browning. This idea is inconsistent with our argument that dietary leucine supplementation may be a promising candidate for the browning of WAT, which may play a role in the prevention and management of obesity and its associated metabolic disorders (reviewed in [4]). Evidence to support the idea of Jens Lund mainly comes from two research groups. One research group investigated the effects of leucine on energy balance by providing a leucine-deficient diet to mice [5]. This research group found that mice on a leucine-deficient diet increased the mRNA and protein expression of UCP-1 in BAT and WAT 5 and 6. The other research group reported that dietary leucine restriction by 85% for 11 weeks increased the mRNA and protein levels of UCP-1 in BAT and WAT, accompanied by an elevation of energy expenditure and attenuation of body weight gain and adiposity [7]. Given the available evidence, it seems fair to suggest the ‘browning’ potential of leucine restriction/deprivation. However, we have noted that mice in those studies were placed on a normal diet rather than on a high-fat diet. The statements ‘leucine restriction/deprivation is a potential inducer of adipose browning’ may be under the condition of a normal diet. It is worth reconsidering whether those studies can support such statements in the context of a dietary pattern that includes high fat consumption. Indeed, emerging evidence has supported our idea, that is, in the context of a dietary pattern that includes high fat consumption, leucine supplementation contributes to the browning of WAT. For example, in the study of Binder et al. [8], the effect of leucine supplementation on expression of browning markers in a high-fat diet-fed C57BL/6J mice was investigated. There was a trend toward increased UCP-1 mRNA expression in BAT of mice after leucine treatment, although the difference was not statistically significant. Unfortunately, UCP-1 mRNA expression was not measured in WAT. These interesting results prompted the same group to carry out another research. In this research [9], diet-induced obese mice were fed a normocaloric diet to induce weight loss while receiving the leucine in drinking water (1.5% w/v) for 21 weeks. UCP-1 mRNA expression was evaluated in WAT. The results showed that in previously obese animals, leucine supplementation significantly increased mRNA expression levels of UCP-1 (almost fourfold) in the WAT. Notably, the statistically significant increase in UCP-1 mRNA expression in WAT was consistent with an increase in markers of mitochondrial function [cytochrome c oxidase subunit II (Cox-III), Cox-IV, and UCP-3] [9]. Additionally, this study and other researchers found that UCP-1 mRNA expression in BAT also tended to increase, although the difference was not statistically significant [10]. These results suggest a sign of browning in WAT and an increase in oxidative metabolism in adipose tissue. Moreover, these molecular effects may be associated with an increase in resting energy expenditure via upregulation of UCP-1. UCP-1 is specifically expressed in the inner membrane of mitochondria from brown adipocytes to generate heat by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation [11]. Upregulation of UCP-1 expression increases thermogenesis and energy expenditure, thus conferring protection from obesity [12]. Based on the aforementioned findings, we think that leucine supplementation holds the potential to promote WAT browning in obesity, and it is very likely primarily the UCP-1 in brown adipocytes that is quantitatively responsible for the metabolic effects. In summary, we welcome the perspective of Jens Lund [3] in highlighting the data on leucine restriction/deprivation, which are certain to shed new light on avenues of research in human health. However, we think that whether leucine supplementation or leucine restriction/deprivation holds the browning potential depends on the body condition. In particular, in the context of obesity or the development of obesity, leucine supplementation may be a browning agent. Otherwise, leucine restriction/deprivation may be a browning agent. Further studies should investigate the effect of leucine supplementation on adipocyte differentiation and/or transdifferentiation in vitro and determine its ability to eventually favor changes in white adipocyte phenotype. 3.

Moreover, women with the rs7895833 A or rs1467568 G allele gained more weight from the age of 20years than women without these alleles (p=0.03 for rs7895833 and p=0.003 for rs1467568). In addition, the odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) of these alleles for overweight (BMI >27.5kg/m2) were significantly high in the no-CR women group (1.78 (1.06-2.99) for rs7895833 and 1.88 (1.13-3.15) for rs1467568) but not in the CR group.

"Caloric restriction and fasting also stimulate the expression of UCPs. For example, caloric restriction increased the expression of UCP4 in the cerebral cortex of adult rats [35]. Consistent with the general notion that UCP expression is increased in response to physiological metabolic challenges such as exercise and dietary energy restriction, exposure of animals to mild hypoxia increases the expression of UCP2 in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus [75]. A ketogenic diet has also been reported to increase UCP2 expression in the brain [76]. Interestingly, as is the case with UCP1 in brown fat cells, cold temperatures induce the expression of UCP4 in neurons [35]." 35.

Ray http://science.sciencemag.org.sci-hub.cc/content/353/6305/1246.6 Evidence for a critical role of nitric acid dihydrate (NAD) metabolism in aging is accumulating. Frederick et al. studied mice with muscle-specific depletion of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt), an enzyme needed to restore concentrations of NAD in working muscle. Muscle in young animals tolerated a large reduction in the amount of NAD without obvious loss of function. However, older control animals had decreased muscle concentrations of NAD, which correlated with decreased performance, and these effects were more pronounced in animals lacking Nampt. Restoration of NAD concentrations by feeding older animals nicotinamide riboside partially restored muscle function. Accordingly, overexpression of Nampt in muscle helped prevent the age-dependent decline in muscular function. Thus, maintenance of proper NAD metabolism in muscle appears to be needed for sustained function. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Cell Metab. 10.1016/j.cmet.2016.07.005 (2016).

PMID: 27475046 http://sci-hub.cc/10.1016/j.cmet.2016.07.010 Ketosis, the metabolic response to energy crisis, is a mechanism to sustain life by altering oxidative fuel selection. Often overlooked for its metabolic potential, ketosis is poorly understood outside of starvation or diabetic crisis. Thus, we studied the biochemical advantages of ketosis in humans using a ketone ester-based form of nutrition without the unwanted milieu of endogenous ketone body production by caloric or carbohydrate restriction. In five separate studies of 39 high-performance athletes, we show how this unique metabolic state improves physical endurance by altering fuel competition for oxidative respiration. Ketosis decreased muscle glycolysis and plasma lactate concentrations, while providing an alternative substrate for oxidative phosphorylation. Ketosis increased intramuscular triacylglycerol oxidation during exercise, even in the presence of normal muscle glycogen, co-ingested carbohydrate and elevated insulin. These findings may hold clues to greater human potential and a better understanding of fuel metabolism in health and disease.
