HGH reaching the liver for example, results in the production of Insulin-like growth factor 1 or IGF-1. However, increasing intake of foods that spur increases in HGH levels is not always advisable. Mainly because what you eat has a profound effect on different body systems. This was proven...
The higher insulin response from the milk may have contributed to the increase in myofibrillar protein synthetic rate in the first 30 min although Burd et al. (Citation2015) suggest this is unlikely. They suggest that other factors in milk such as bioactive peptides and endogenous release of...
Diabetesmellitusis a metabolic disease characterized byhigh blood sugar(glucose) levels that result from defects ininsulinsecretion or the body’s ability to use insulin. Normally, blood glucose levels are tightly controlled by insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin lowers the blood glu...
The evolution of food science has taken place certainly over hundreds, if not thousands of years, but has gained momentum over the past 50 years influenced by the remarkable developments that have taken place over this period in chemistry, biochemistry, physics, medicine, information technology, mol...
Encapsulation process is a food technology defined as a procedure of packaging solids, liquids, or gaseous materials in very small-scale, sealed capsules that can release their contents at controlled rates under specific conditions (Fang & Bhandari, 2010). ...

INSIGHT: People who gain a lot of weight often stop responding to insulin, which regulates the amount of glucose that cells take up from the blood. Yet grizzly bears gain 100 pounds or more each autumn and somehow avoid diabetes. A recent study found that the grizzlies' fat cells become mo...
Resistant starch not only blunts the immediate spike in glucose and insulin, but it can also have a second-meal effect, meaning the improved glycaemic response may persist to some degree into the next meal, due to ongoing fermentation in the colon and production of SCFAS that improve insulin ...
These food bioactives have anti-obesity activity through mechanisms that include reducing energy intake, lipid synthesis and promote lipolysis by affecting lipase activity. In addition, these compounds regulate genes and pathways related to lipid synthesis and catabolism, and modulate advanced glycation end...
Glucagon, a hormone secreted by the pancreas, acts in opposition to insulin. Glucagon raises blood glucose levels, while insulin lowers those levels. Dr. Munger and his colleagues found that glucagon and its receptor are expressed in mouse taste receptor cells that are associated with the ...
