The ‘carnivore connection’ — evolutionary aspects of insulin resistance

Chronic Diseases, Diabetes, Hormones, Meat based diet, Nutrition, Research Articles / By

URL: https://www.nature.com/articles/1601351 Journal: European Journal of Clinical Nutrition Publication Date: 03/2002 Summary: Insulin resistance is common and is determined by physiological (aging, physical fitness), pathological (obesity) and genetic factors. The metabolic compensatory response to insulin resistance is hyperinsulinaemia, the primary purpose of which is to maintain normal glucose tolerance. The ‘carnivore connection’ postulates a critical role for the quantity …

Glycation, ageing and carnosine: Are carnivorous diets beneficial?

Aging, Nutrition, Research Articles, Supplements / By

URL: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0047637405001193 Journal: Mechanisms of Ageing and Development  Publication Date: 10/2005  Summary: Non-enzymic protein glycosylation (glycation) plays important roles in ageing and in diabetes and its secondary complications. Dietary constituents may play important roles in accelerating or suppressing glycation. It is suggested that carnivorous diets contain a potential anti-glycating agent, carnosine (β-alanyl-histidine), whilst vegetarians may lack intake of the …

Would Carnosine or a Carnivorous Diet Help Suppress Aging and Associated Pathologies?

Aging, Nutrition, Research Articles, Supplements / By

URL: https://nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1196/annals.1354.052 Journal: Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences Publication Date: 05/2006 Summary: Carnosine has the potential to suppress many of the biochemical changes (e.g., protein oxidation, glycation, AGE formation, and cross‐linking) that accompany aging and associated pathologies. Glycation, generation of advanced glycosylation end‐products (AGEs), and formation of protein carbonyl groups play important roles in aging, …
