Structured Lipids- Increased Protein Synthesis
Advances in the technology behind lipid synthesis led to the development of structured lipids (SLs). A structured lipid (SL) is a triglyceride that includes both medium (8-12 carbons) and long-chain fatty acids (14-22 carbons) within the same triglyceride. Emulsions including SL have demonstrated increased protein synthesis and increased nitrogen balance (NB) in burned animals The SL has also been superior to medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) and long-chain triglyceride (LCT) emulsions in stimulating muscle protein synthesis in animal studies.
The use of SLs has been primarily limited to clinical and experimental settings whereby it has become necessary to develop… Continue reading

Posted on February 22, 2008 - Filed Under Supplements | Leave a Comment
Functions
Three main enzymatic reactions regarding vitamin B12 have been noted to occur in humans. The first reaction requires methylcobalamin as a coenzyme in the conversion of homocysteine into methionine. This reaction occurs in the cytosol of the cell. The reaction is intrinsic to the production of tetrahydrofolate (THF). The production of THF is irreversible and requires vitamin B12, therefore, a B12 deficiency can trap folate in its methyl form (also known as the folate-methyl trap), which in turn affects purine and thymidylate synthesis.
A second set of reactions requiring B12 are those catalyzed by mutases. These reactions occur within the mitochondria… Continue reading

Posted on February 20, 2008 - Filed Under Nutrition | Leave a Comment
Without question, protein is the king of all nutrients. It provides the building blocks for enzymes and hormones, enables nerve and brain cells to effectively communicate with one another, and fosters the repair and growth of muscle tissue. Every cell in your body contains protein; life could not go on without it.
The consumption of protein, however, is perhaps the most controversial of all nutritional topics. Unfortunately, many nutrition professionals have not kept abreast of recent research and continue to espouse outmoded theories on the subject. This has led to a host of myths that, in turn, have been taken as… Continue reading

Posted on February 13, 2008 - Filed Under Supplements | Leave a Comment
Likewise in its infancy stages, research on the effects of macronutrient manipulation on hormone release and other compounds (i.e., enzyme activity) has commenced in recent years. The surging interest in this area of investigation has primary implications on potential athletic performance enhancement and recovery, body composition improvement, and effects on substrate use during exercise and rest. For example, some studies have explored the effects of dietary manipulation on the hormones testosterone, growth hormone, and insulin, which promote strength and muscular increases. Thus, such research triggers particular interest for those involved in strength/power sports or who wish to increase strength and… Continue reading

Posted on February 13, 2008 - Filed Under Build Muscle | Leave a Comment
Just as athletes want to lose weight for competitive purposes, many attempt to gain weight to obtain athletic superiority. For most, this means improved strength and power, which can also lead to increased speed and greater resistance to opponents’ movements. This would be especially advantageous in sports such as football, heavier classes in weightlifting and wrestling, and track and field events (specifically the javelin and other throwing events).
However, athletes are not the only ones who desire body mass gains. Many recreational weight trainers also strive to gain weight, and the protocol used to achieve this goal should be no different… Continue reading
