Regional Blood Flow
Dysfunction of Nutritive Blood Flow as a Determinant of Anabolic Resistance in Older People
With age, muscles tend to waste at 0.5-1% per year, so that an 80 year old may have only 70% of the muscle possessed at 50. Muscle loss makes it harder to carry out tasks that require strength, keep the body balanced and continue…

Hepatic Fatty Acid Metabolism, Systemic Insulin Resistance
The Metabolic Effects of a High Fructose Versus a High Glucose Diet in Overweight Men
Dietary consumption of fructose has increased by nearly 50% since 1960. A high fructose diet (HFrD) results in greater visceral adiposity and systemic insulin resistance than a high glucose diet.
