Mitochondria are interchangeable across species, may explain differences in intelligence across latter
Just a quick post that suggests once again that metabolism is the key determinant of intelligence and…
Glaucoma may be a metabolic condition, vitamin B1 (thiamine) may treat it
Just a few hours ago I did a post about myopia being metabolic in origin and, as…
The origins of sleep may be metabolic – to reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS), driven by fat oxidation
A fascinating study that again highlights the central role metabolism plays in activities medicine considers weakly linked…
PUFA is incompatible with and directly toxic to mammalian mitochondria
This is one of the few studies that presents direct and largely indisputable biochemical evidence for the…
Oxidative metabolism reflects our biological age, metabolic dysfunction drives frailty/aging
In several of his articles, Ray discussed the non-specific “syndrome of being sick” -i.e. looking and feeling…
Anti-depressant drugs (SSRI) cause heart defects/disease by inhibiting oxidative metabolism
I am amazed by the number of already published studies that openly admit that SSRI drugs have…
Low OXPHOS is a biomarker and likely cause of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
The evidence that IBD conditions such as Crohn’s Disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are of mitochondrial…
Mitochondrial dysfunction prevents apoptosis and drives inflammation
Yet another study, which demonstrates the inseparable link between metabolism and “structural” problems such as cellular integrity…
Vitamin K significantly reduces leg/muscle cramps in humans
As many of my readers know, muscle spasticity is one of the main symptoms of low thyroid…
Vitamin K is crucial for lung function and may prevent/treat COPD
Vitamin K is one of the least-studied vitamins, though that has been changing lately, largely due to…
