Session 4: Natural Therapies Flashcards
Neutrceuticals for blocked bile flow are (5 types)
1) Artichoke extracts
2) Magnesium Sulfate
3) Taurine
4) Soy Lecithin (non-GMO)
5) Garlic Oil
AMPK is an enzyme that plays what role in the body?
Cellular energy homeostasis
The net effect of AMPK activation are (5 types)
1) stimulation of hepatic fatty acid oxidation
and ketogenesis
2) inhibition of cholesterol synthesis, lipogenesis, and
triglyceride synthesis
3) inhibition of adipocyte lipolysis and lipogenesis
4) stimulation of skeletal muscle fatty acid oxidation and muscle glucose uptake
5) modulation of insulin secretion by pancreatic beta-cells
Stimulating AMPK leads to… (2 items)
1) reduced glucose production in the liver
2) reduced insulin resistance in the muscle
Does AMPK improve insulin senstivity?
Yes
Nutrition that activates cellular AMPK are (4 types)
1) Berberine (huang lian)
2) Resveratrol
3) Quercetin
4) Jiaogulan
2 lifestyle habits that activate cellular AMPK
1) Exercising
2) Calorie Restriction
Nutrients that raise Adiponectin levels (3 types)
1) Ascorbic Acid
2) Niacin (Vit B3)
3) Long-chain n-3 PUFA (DHA/EPA)
What is the relationship between low adiponectin and T2DM (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus)
Low adiponectin is related to increase incidence of T2DM
What’s the relationship between adiponectin and CRP (C-Reactive Protein)
Inverse correlation
What enzyme is needed to strip off triglycerides from fat particles streaming in from liver and intestines?
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL)
Peak LPL stimulation occurs at which point of the maximum heart rate scale (MHR)?
Between 70% - 75%
Nutrients helpful for Insulin Resistance are (6 types)
1) Chromium Polynicotinate
2) HCA (Hydroxycitric Acid)
3) Gynemia Sylvester
4) L-Carnitine
5) Creatine
6) EPA/DHA
