From the previous article: “the rate of substrate oxidation in resting muscle is not determined/limited by mitochondrial oxidative capacity, but by the rate of ATP breakdown/ADP formation, which is regulated … Continue reading Polyunsaturated fats, cardiolipin and ATP production
It has been hypothesized that insulin resistance in patients with impaired, or diabetic glucose tolerance, is mediated by a deficiency of mitochondria in skeletal muscle. But it turns out that … Continue reading Metabolic efficiency is more important than mitochondrial quantity
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are fatty acids which have more than 1 double bond in their structure, whereas saturated fats have no double bonds (only single bonds). The more double … Continue reading PUFA Dangers Part 1: storage, mobilization and oxidation
