Hello,

"Advanced Glycation in Health and Disease: Role of the Modern
Environment


HELEN VLASSARA


It is believed that intracellular and extracellular advanced glycation
(AGEs) or lipoxidation end products (ALEs), together with dysregulated
glucose and lipid metabolism, are important contributors to oxidant or
carbonyl stress, enhanced cellular redox-sensitive transcription factor
activity, and impaired innate immune defense, causing over time
inappropriate inflammatory responses. However, neither the magnitude
nor the persistent nature of this increased prooxidant state are
completely understood. A significant correlation has been found between
ingested and circulating AGEs in humans in recent years. Based on
animal studies, the injurious impact of diet-derived AGEs to vascular
and kidney tissues is estimated to rival or even exceed that caused by
hyperglycemia or hyperlipidemia. Consistent with this view, dietary AGE
restriction has been associated with suppression of several immune
defects, insulin resistance, and diabetic complications, whether
genetically or diet induced, despite persistent diabetes. These
findings are in support of clinical evidence from subjects with
diabetes or vascular or kidney disease. Most recently, evidence from
animal studies points to AGE restriction as an effective means for
extending median life span, similar to that previously shown by marked
caloric restriction. We conclude that excessive AGE consumption, in the
current dietary/social structure, represents an independent factor for
inappropriate oxidant stress responses, which may promote the premature
expression of complex diseases associated with adult life, such as
diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

"..Exogenous glycations and Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) are
typically formed when sugars are cooked with proteins or fats.
Temperatures over 120°C (~248°F) greatly accelerate the reactions,
but lower temperatures with longer cooking times also promote their
formation.

These compounds are absorbed by the body during digestion with about
30% efficiency....

..Endogenous glycations occur mainly in the bloodstream to a small
proportion of the absorbed simple sugars: glucose, fructose and

such as hydrogen peroxide.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycation
"
In view of above quotes, can exogenous and endogenously made glycated
substances be considered as significant factor to cause systemic
inflammation, insulin resistance, diabetes and complications causing
agents in diabetics type2?

Many cooked, fried, prepared foods and fructose(fruits etc.) and
glactose(diary,milk) are bit indicative to be linked to such effect by
glycated substances.

It is to be uinderstood that whether glycated substances are formed by
mixing and cooking just only sugar with protiens and fats OR also all
carbohydrates with protiens and fats?

Microwave pre-cooking of French fries reduces cancer chemicals

Research news from the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

Microwaving your French fries before you fry them reduces the levels of
a cancer-causing substance, reveals findings published today in the
SCI's Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture.

The discovery of acrylamide - a possible carcinogenic in humans - has
led to much research being done to investigate the benefits of
alternative cooking methods. Acrylamide forms during processes such as
frying, baking and roasting where high-temperature and low-moisture
conditions exist.

Although numerous studies have been conducted to explore the
possibilities of reducing acrylamide levels in French fries, a team of
researchers from Turkey has shown that by reducing the frying time and
hence the acrylamide formation by microwave pre-cooking of potato
strips prior to frying.

Publishing their work in the Journal of the Science of Food and
Agriculture, the researches showed that microwave application prior to
frying resulted in a marked reduction of the acrylamide level in the
surface region. When the potato strips were subjected to frying after a
microwave pre-cooking step, acrylamide content in the whole potato
strip was reduced by 36%, 41% and 60% for frying at 150, 170 and 190oC
respectively.

"Microwaving French fries before cooking takes little time and in fact,
microwave pre-cooked samples fried to the same degree of cooking
appeared to have a more acceptable colour, probably due to the more
gentle heat treatment they experienced during frying," says lead author
Koray Palazoglu, of the University of Mersin, Turkey.

Glycation
>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glycation (sometimes called non-enzymatic glycosylation) is the result
of a sugar molecule, such as fructose or glucose, bonding to a protein
or lipid molecule without the controlling action of an enzyme. All
blood sugars are reducing molecules. Glycation may occur either inside
(endogenous) or outside (exogenous) the body. Enzyme-controlled
addition of sugars to protein or lipid molecules is termed
glycosylation; this process is less haphazard than glycation. Much of
early laboratory research work on fructose glycations used inaccurate
assay techniques that drastically understated the importance of
fructose in glycation formation (Ahmed & Furth 1992).

[edit]Exogenous

Exogenous, which literally means 'outside the body' may also be
referred to as "dietary" or "pre-formed." Exogenous glycations and


Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) are typically formed when sugars
are cooked with proteins or fats. Temperatures over 120°C (~248°F)
greatly accelerate the reactions, but lower temperatures with longer
cooking times also promote their formation.

These compounds are absorbed by the body during digestion with about

30% efficiency. Browning reactions (usually Maillard type reactions)
are evidence of pre-formed glycations. Indeed, sugar is often added to
products such as French fries and baked goods to enhance browning.
Glycation may also contribute to the formation of acrylamide (Stadler
et al 2002), a potential carcinogen, during cooking. Until recently, it
was thought that exogenous glycations and AGEs were negligible
contributors to inflammation and disease states, but recent work has
shown that they are important (Vlassara, 2005). Although most of the
research work has been done with reference to diabetes, these results
are most likely important for all people as exogenous AGEs are
implicated in the initiation of retinal dysfunction, cardiovascular
diseases, type II diabetes, and many other age related chronic
diseases.

Food manufacturers have added AGEs to foods, especially in the last 50
years, as flavor enhancers and colorants to improve appearance (Peppa
et. al. 2003). Foods with significant browning, caramelization, or with
directly added preformed AGEs can be exceptionally high in these
proinflammatory and disease initiating compounds. A very partial
listing of foods with very high exogenous AGEs includes: donuts,
barbecued meats, cake, and dark colored soda pop (Koschinsky, et. al.
1997).


[edit]Endogenous

Endogenous glycations occur mainly in the bloodstream to a small
proportion of the absorbed simple sugars: glucose, fructose and

galactose. The balance of the sugar molecules is used for metabolic
processes. It appears that fructose and galactose have approximately
ten times the glycation activity of glucose, the primary body fuel
(McPherson et al 1988). Glycation is the first step in the evolution of
these molecules through a complex series of very slow reactions in the
body known as Amadori reactions, Schiff base reactions, and Maillard
reactions; all lead to advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). Some AGEs
are benign, but others are more reactive than the sugars they are
derived from, and are implicated in many age-related chronic diseases
such as: type II diabetes mellitus (beta cell damage), cardiovascular
diseases (the endothelium, fibrinogen and collagen are damaged),
Alzheimer's disease (amyloid proteins are side products of the
reactions progressing to AGEs), cancer (acrylamide and other side
products are released), peripheral neuropathy (the myelin is attacked),
and other sensory losses such as deafness (due to demyelination) and
blindness (mostly due to microvascular damage in the retina). This


range of diseases is the result of the very basic level at which
glycations interfere with molecular and cellular functioning throughout
the body and the release of highly-oxidizing side products such as
hydrogen peroxide.

Glycated substances are eliminated from the body slowly, since the

renal clearance factor is only about 30%. This implies that the
half-life of a glycation within the body is about double the average
cell life. Red blood cells are the shortest-lived cells in the body
(120 days), so, the half life is about 240 days. This fact is used in
monitoring blood sugar control in diabetes by monitoring the glycated
hemoglobin level. As a consequence, long-lived cells (such as nerves,
brain cells), long-lasting proteins (such as eye crystalline and
collagen), and DNA may accumulate substantial damage over time.
Metabolically-active cells such as the glomeruli in the kidneys, retina
cells in the eyes, and beta cells (insulin-producing) in the pancreas
are also at high risk of damage. The epithelial cells of the blood
vessels are damaged directly by glycations, which are implicated in
atherosclerosis, for example. Atherosclerotic plaque tends to
accumulate at areas of high blood flow (such as the entrance to the
coronary arteries) due to the increased presentation of sugar
molecules, glycations and glycation end-products at these points.
Damage by glycation results in stiffening of the collagen in the blood
vessel walls, leading to high blood pressure. Glycations also cause
weakening of the collagen in the blood vessel walls, which may lead to
micro- or macro-aneurisms; this may cause strokes if in the brain.

Good Idea,thanks. We can dig more into microwave cooking for this
purpose. As such, Can we avoid glycation of foods by using microwave?

Any method can minimize this. It is mostly a product of cooking at high
temperatures such as with frying and baking for long times. Steaming,
boiling, stewing, microwaving, etc. will produce little. The best guide
is the color of or darkness of finished food. These glycation products
produce the browning effect from long fried and baked foods so any
method, including frying and baking, which produce little or none of the
browning is much safer.

Boiled ham and cabbage Umm. Thanks for the info Coons makes sense.


I thought the interesting point was we can pre--cook and then get our
brown turkey / etc and reduce glycation.

Fire good Umm Fire bad ...............

Etc might be carrots??

In response to a question about cooking methods to minimize glycation of
foods:

"Wiser to simply eat less down to the right amount and lose all the
visceral adipose tissue (VAT) which is the proximate cause of metabolic
syndrome (MetS), which is the precursor of type-2 diabetes:"

Incorrect by being incomplete. Irrelevant by not addressing the
question. Not useful by failing to provide applicable information
beyond private agenda driven opinion.

"Reducing intake has been shown to double the lifespan of laboratory
animals."

Again incorrect by being misinformed and not complete, it pays to keep
up with the literature on such matters and forgo non-relevant agendas
which distort the science involved.

Interesting. For totally different reasons - fat reduction -
I have cooked "oven fries" as described below as part of my
own cooking plan, without realising that it may have other
benefits:

"Oven fry french fries – cut them large (not like thin
McDonalds), throw them in boiling water until not quite
cooked (still firm), spray an oven tray with cooking oil
then place the "fries" on the tray and spray again lightly.
Cook in the oven at about 200c (390F) until done. Use your
meter to see what portion size you can handle. Mine is three
chips."

I also pre-cook potatos and pumpkin(squash) in the microwave
before browning the surfaces on the BBQ; in that case it was
to match cooking times to the meats to produce a "baked"
effect. Again, I may have achieved a benefit I was ignorant
of. They taste good that way too:-)

Thanks.

"What about intake of fructose(fruits etc.) and glactose(diary,milk)
which are indicated to to cause glycated substances endogenously?"

These sources are the same as glucose. It is not that we consume them
that directly causes glycation, it is that when they rise to high levels
they prompt glycation by overwhelming the bodies ability to prevent it.

Everyone has glycation products, that is what the a1c test for diabetics
measures. But with the much higher levels of glucose and fructose that
diabetics have because they do not dispose of them quickly enough they
have a parallel high level of glycation. That leads to much wider
tissue damage and diabetic complications if glucose levels are not
controled near normal levels.

Sure, if I knew what you want. My statement and the snip above are in
complete agreement but stress different aspects of the process. It
happens where evr the blood carries sugars to tissues made of protein
and fat. It can even glycate insulin because it is made of protein.

The higher the glucose/fructose level is, and for the longer times in
diabetics, the opportunity for glycation to happen is multiplied
greatly. The greater the glycation the greater the risk of diabetic
complications and heart disease and stroke. As mentioned, the a1c
number is a reflection of the degree of glycation happening and thus
correlates with the risk levels of the above.

Seems like some of you are "seeing ghosts." It is the lipid
peroxidation that is causing the glycation problems (in vivo). Here is
yet another study that makes this point:

male Sprague-Dawley weight-matched rats were fed for 12 weeks with a
high-fat diet (45% kcal from fat) or an isocaloric low-fat diet (10%
kcal from fat). High-fat diet feeding significantly elevated body
weight. Blood pressure and heart rate were comparable between the two
rat groups. Competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed
significantly elevated serum AGE levels, visceral AGE formation,
caspase-3 activation and cytoplasmic DNA fragmentation in heart and
liver but not kidney samples of high-fat diet fed rats compared with
those from low-fat diet fed group. Western blot analysis further
revealed that high-fat diet feeding induced overt nuclear O-Glc-NAc
modification and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activation in
heart and liver although not in kidney samples of the high-fat diet-fed
rats. Collectively, our results indicated that high-fat diet intake is
associated with obesity accompanied by elevated serum and visceral
AGEs, visceral post-translational nuclear O-Glc-NAcylated modification
and apoptosis, which may contribute to high-fat diet-induced tissue
damage.


Now, if they were more knowledgable they would do another experiment,
this time using fresh coconut oil, and giving the animals a "high fat"
diet. What they would find is that this diet is not a problem at all,
but because they are assuming that "saturated fat is bad," they
apparently don't even consider this possibility, and this is why much
"science" today is unscientific. You must control for all possibly
relevant factors in order to follow the scientific method.

The p38 MAP kinase activation would be mediated by the inflammatory
cytokines from the visceral adipose tissue (VAT). Also a high fat (low
carb) diet would also lead to the hyperketonemia which is associated
with accelerated lipid peroxidation.

There is a high fat diet used in rodents, including one strain who
become diabetic on it where diabetes is being studied. This diet has
become standardized and in common use where high fat saturated diets are
called for as one factor in research to create metabolic disorders
related to nutrition. It is used as 60 percent of calories and is 100
percent coconut oil.

Adigested carbohydrates are converted into glucose whatever the source
except fructose which is metabolised differently in the liver. The body
can use either for energy and either can glycate proteins and lipids.

In past fructose was suggested for diabetics because it did not raise
blood glucose levels. But this was misleading because the damage was
being done by fructose also but is not measured by standard glucose
testing and requires a seperate test. The meters diabetics use do not
measure fructose levels so the true amount of simple sugars in the blood
is not indicated. Later it was learned that fructose can also cause
damage as it also contributes to glycation and like glucose the more of
it at longer periods the greater the damage.


The amount of fructose in the usa is included in nutrition labels as
part of the total sugar amount. Foods containing fructose and lactose,
such as fruit and milk products, can have nutritional value to a
diabetic but the amount of sugars and how much it affects blood levels
should be taken into consideration when deciding how much to consume.

The sugars in fruit contains about 1/2 fructose and 1/2 glucose but only
the glucose appears with a meter test so one can about double the real
blood level from fruits when deciding how much to eat. Also as you
mentioned before, fructose has a much highr level of contribution to
glycation as does glucose so all in all a diabetic should be eating
fruit in moderate amounts and then only those fruits with naturally low
glucose levels.

It is bit horrible. Fruits and milk are commonly taken. Fruits are
quite natural. I don't understand, how these are so damaging. Have you
any idea, what happens if a diabetic2 with persistent hyperglycemia and
IR discontinue fruits,milk and other exogenous AGEs?

All foods a diabetic consumes is a compromise between its nutritional
value and the amount of carbohydrates it contains. Fruit and milk
happen to contain high levels of carbohydrates. Therefore one must
choose carefully among fruits and milk products. Not only these foods
but any carb containing food can be judged by the speed by which it
enters the blood. The slower it enters the blood and the total amount
of carbs determines how high the glucose level after a meal.

Here is a page which has tables of hundreds of foods with a score for
each showing how fast it enters the blood. It has many indian foods.
Read the introductory information carefully to grasp how the score is
determined and how you can use it in making food choices..

Thanks. It looks glycated substances can be related to getting
inflammatory responses(systemic), oxidative stress and diabetic
complications. However its magnitude is to be evalued esp. in comparisn
to VATs mediated systemic inflammation/inflammatory cytokines. Here one
question can be thought; whether metabolism or cycle of glycated
substances or its mediators(fructose,glactose etc.) is effected on
getting diabetes or not?

Scientific facts, MattLB? Do you mean like the ones you hide from?

Mainly, I have pointed out how experimental findings have been
misinterpreted. I present many of my conclusions at:
http://groups.msn.com/TheScientificDebateForum-

People like yourself, however, will not address obvious refutations,
which are the basis for "getting science right." For example, if rats
are fed a fat free diet, and live well and long, how can the claim of
"essential fatty acids" continue? And as I pointed out, this direct,
on point experiment was conducted in 1948 ! Yet people like MattLB do
not seem to understand that human reason and basic logic underly the
scientific method. People like him/her, instead, argue, implicitly or
explicity, that the textbook dogma must be correct, even though the
textbooks are filled with qualified statements. When on objectively
investigates the experiments upon which these claims are based, one
finds that they are hardly what one expects. I pointed this out to
him/her in may contexts, for example, I researched the literature on
"membranes," and the scientists make clear that their ideas are based
upon assumptions. One scientist who has conducted on point experiments
in this field is Gilbert Ling, who has also done excellent reviews of
the relevant literature. MattLB dismisses Ling's endeavors with a wave
of the proverbial hand.

Moreover, when asked, MattLB never cites, nor provides, a formal
hypothesis for any of his claims, something required of the scientific
method. I, on the other hand, have challenged him and others to do on
point experiments: the person who is wrong must pay for all expenses.
He has never shown any interest in such proposals. If MattLB thinks he
is so "scientific," why does he run from doing the actual experiments
that would determine who is correct? MattLB, please explain to the
readers why you speak loudly and carry such a small, fragile stick.

With regard to "essential fatty acids," "lipid bilayer membranes,"
"trans fat," and this "glycation" issue, the experiments would be
simple to do. One uses lab animals that have often been used in this
context in the past and one provides them with different diets to see
if there is a major difference. With glycation, if one claims that too
much sugar is the problem (or sugar in the presence of high protein
foods), then there is no problem doing the proper experients. However,
one must be willing to do the experiments so that the alternative ideas
are respresented. In this case, I would have a group of animals fed
the meat and sugar diet, but it would be prepared the way I would want
it to be. Then, another group would be fed this diet, but it would be
prepared differently, with the meat being fried in a highly unsaturated
oil. If the latter group was much less healthy and died at younger
ages, it would be clear that the lipid peroxidation was the problem,
not the sugar and protein food. Obviously, one could try several
different variations, but if one does not control for possibily
relevant factors, one is violating the scientific method. For some
reason, this simple point is unable to penetrate the mind of MattLB.

So you keep saying, but despite my asking you've never provided any
more information than this. I can say there was a paper in 1949 in the
Journal of Russian dietology which showed they were essential just as
easily.

After having looked and found them to be very out-of-date and not much
at odds with standard thought - apart from the "no bilayer" stance.

I've cited the following seven or eight times, yet you always fail to
address them (for obvious reasons)

"Thirty years later, Hansen et al. [140] were the first to describe
EFAD in humans. They observed unsatisfactory growth rates and dryness
of the skin in many infants on low LA intakes. EFAD has been most
extensively described in subjects on fat-free total parenteral
nutrition (TPN)[141-147]. For example, O'Neill et al. [142] reported on
28 patients,ranging from newborns to 66 years old, who received
fat-free TPN.
LA levels fell rapidly, followed by AA. In most of the patients the
20:3n9/20:4n6 ratio (a biochemical marker for EFAD) had
increased after a few weeks above the 0.4 criterion [148], followed
approximately one week later by clinical signs of a scaly and thin
skin, and hair loss. In addition to these classical EFAD symptoms,
many other biological and behavioural changes have been documented
[149-151]"

I have no interest in indulging your fantasies, particularly as you'll
only twist or gripe about things when it doesn't turn out the way you
want. As you were told in this very thread, a diet in which coconut oil
is the only fat source is used experimentally to provide high sat fat
intake, leading to metabolic disorders. You'll claim it wasn't fresh
oil and that's why it was unhealthy, but you're always claiming
saturated fats can't go off or get oxidised so you're rather stuck
there.

I can speak with the advantage of direct research experience and an
ongoing biochemical education (my stick), whereas you, lacking such a
background, have to go on what persuasive individuals have said in
books you've read. The drawbacks of this are evident any time you're
asked to think beyond what has been spelt out in black and white - with
no foundations your position crumbles.

Animal experiments have been done on glycation products in the diet.

Rubbish. A formal hypothesis (which you seem to insist on) can't test
several things at once.

You're completely missing what a control is again, and also trying to
confound things further by doing several experiements at once.

When MattLB is willing to present formal scientific hypotheses, be a

made on my web site. The evidence is not mine, nor has been generated

It is to be seriously evalued. Can unsaturated oils cause more browning
and more AGEs resulting into increased systemic inflammatory response
or free radical activity?

I used palm oil(RBD) not palm kernal oil which can be alike seed oil. I
feel red palm oil can still be better. Many contradictive theories are
there about use of palm oil...may these be due to commercial interests
on either side. Anyway, fruits are gifts of nature to us whereas seeds
may not, so fruits oil can be alike fruit juice.

Can we combine VAT(please clear, is it VAT--excessive visceral adipose

glycated substances and absorbed fats which may encourage inflammatory
responses( as per other topics) as causes to systemic inflammatory

It is the inflammatory cytokines produced by the visceral adipose
tissue (VAT) that promote vascular inflammation thereby causing
increased insulin resistance.

They are hygroscopic..somewhat may act as MOM acts?

Whether bile is hygroscopic? Can bile's abnormal secretion(less) in
intestine make a person constipated, lazy esp. in morning, sleeping
more, waking late etc.? Two aspects may be related, abnormal bile
comong from liver and abnormal secretion from gall bladder(can't say
about abnormal re-absorption)?

It starts with the VAT.

Thanks.

Can gum diseases in diabetic be due to cell's swelling interfering in
blood flow and supply resulting into necrosis?

Whether VAT as you mention, is increase of visceral adipose tissues or
greater adiposity/fat stores in visceral adipose tissues?

Whether soluble or not solubles fibers are also hygroscopic or releases
some chemicals in intestines?

Can abnormal or obstructed flow of bile from liver to intestine make a
person lazy, more sleepy, waking late etc.?

I feel abnormalities in bile flow are related to many conditions
couldn't yet evalued?

Which out of bile and gastric acid ir related to either unclear or
clear motions? Billary diahrria is thought?

In the type 2 diabetic, it is due in part to the inflammatory cytokines
from viseral adipose tissue (VAT).

The glycosylations are happening everywhere and not just
intravascularly.

VAT is simply visceral adipose tissue which can be quantified by
measuring waist circumference.

Soluble fiber in the diet comes with its own water so that it is not
hygroscopic.

You would be wise to inform your doctor(s) about your symptoms rather
than attributing them to bile flow.

No clinical association.

Can't they store more or less fats? Whether such store is in form of
triglyciride or fatty acids?

I was just evaulating. In ancient systems bile was of great importance,
constitutional(personality type), but I think it is not given much
importance?

Diahrria can occur when medication for resisting bile absorption is
given?

Anyway, what increased RBC Dist Width(MCV normal) indicates?

They are present to store fat **and** to release inflammatory cytokines
to cause metabolic syndrome (MetS).

By CCK released by the physical distension of the stomach.

Not clinically seen except as an adverse effect for some.

It suggests there may have been some blood loss.

Swelling is one feature of inflammation. Whether more water/fluid is
brought at the site of inflammation making environment hypotonic and
swelling of cells in that area?

Will such glycosylation be reduced extravascularily but increased
intravascularily on vasoconstriction or on decreased blood flow?

Can above feature is valid for all substances including water which are
filtered from capillaries? I am not considering filtring capacity but
quantity of blood flow?

Whether Non-soluble fibers are hygroscopic? Can isabgol husk absorb
bile and cause more excretion of bile with stool?

Caningested fats promote bile secretion from in intestine?

Whether composition of bile can be changed in different conditions?
Whether bile detoxfy blood?

How? Is there any relation between increase in RBC dist width,
decreased hematocrit and increased neutrophills?
Whether blood loss is compensated by water to maintain blood volume?

Can you define RBC dist width for me pls?

It is relevant to all substances that are able to freely cross through
the capillary basement membrane.

Yes. Such is the nature of adipose tissue even if pathological as in

Bile is not secreted from the intestine but rather comes from the
liver.

Bile is used to emulsify ingested fats to aid in their digestion.

Would suggest that there is infection **and** blood loss.

It is if blood pressure remains normal even upon standing without
abnormally elevated heart rate.

It is the range in RBC widths that would include 90% of all red bloods
cells (RBCs).

Will glucose or even water be filtered lesser in tatal quantity from
capalliries, if blood flow is reduced due to vasocontriction?

Yes but total blood flow can be reduced due to vsoconstriction? Whether
total filteration can't be also dependant and proportionate to total
blood flow in any area?

Can they store more or less fats in quantity? Can they be substancially

It is well known. Anyway,

"Isabgol (also Sat-Isabgol or Isapgol), is the Indian term for psyllium
seed husks (not a trademark). Isabgol is used for constipation and
irritable bowel syndrome. A few brand names are "B. G. Telephone Brand
Sat-Isabgol", "Deer Brand Sat Isabgol" and "Dabur Sat Isabgol".

Isabgol is also avaiable internationally in Indian shops and markets,
but as it is typically sold as isabgol rather than psyllium, many
people are not aware of that. Being a generic product, it is
significantly cheaper than similar products sold in pharmacies. Isabgol
(psyllium) is the active ingredient of the American product Metamucil.

Yes but if its composition and secreted quantity can be variable due to
different type of fats/foods?

Whether its higher reading tells abnormal macrocytic size and shape of
RBCs?

Whether some higher reading of RDW, low Hct and some higher neutrophils
readin(may be subclinically higher but still within commonly indicated
normal range)gs can be common in people with persisting hyperglycemia
and IR?

Transient events are not clinically meaningful in chronic disease such

Wiser to get rid of the VAT rather than dwell on it.

Am familiar with psyllium. And, yes, it can help to lower cholesterol
by slowing down recovery of bile salts increasing losses in stool.

Bile production and release into the intestine is stimulated by
ingested fats.

Higher RDWs can be associated with abnormal forms/shapes.

Can variation in osmotic pressure of capaliries effect trans-capillary

Yes, but can't there be persistance of such events due to persisting
hyperglycemia?

It is indicative that butter fat/pure ghee attract more bile, so while
increasing cholestreol it also excrete more bile resulting into
cholestreol's beneficial roles as well controlling their levels?

Whether butterfat/pure ghee stimulate comparatively more bile than

Can low Hct or hypotonicity of blood increase RTWs?

Whether swelled cells in vascular wall or circulating attracts
inflammatory response or oxidative mechanism?

When increased O2 levels can effect size and numbers of blood vessels
supplying to tissues as local blood flow control, hyperglycemia may
also do that--by reduced blood flow?

Can't any fiber, which can absorb bile and enable more of its excretion
do that?

What is the purpose of more or less bile's concentration secretions?

A fat/puffy person can look of different shape?

Btw, can you tell differenciating factors between puffy,flaby and obese
person?

Wether RDW and Hct's variations(may be sub-clinical but near to
abnormal) are common in diabetics?

Whether glysylated hemoglobin and elevated circulating lipid levels can
attract inflammatory responses?

Whether alkalizers can oppose inflammatory responses in view of acidity
is linked to control bacterias as in intestines?

It does not directly. Indeed, bile is largely comprised of

What is the fate of cholesterol in bile?

What causes a person to look either puffy or flaby or obese?

Sorry, your awnser is not clear to me. I meant buuer fat/pure ghee
attract more bile secretions in intestines not bile absorption?
Possibily, more the bile synthesis in liver and secretion in
intestines, comparatively more can be its excretion esp. when blood
cholesterol levels are higher?

It served to help you understand why I wrote to comment how you had
confused butter fat with dietary fiber. The former does not result in
the excretion of more cholesterol for any cholesterol-lower benefit as
compared to the latter.

I have not confused about butter with fibers. These are two different
things. I thought, Butter may promote more bile secretion in intestines
so more of its excretion whereas fiber can absorb more bile resulting
more of its excretion in stool.

Bile secretion occurs **before** digestion and absorption of fats such
as butter.

Do our body benefits from natural cycle of cholesterol or any other
food form intake to excretion or by less intake oand lesser
excretion/reabsorption?

To deviate from naturally followed practices may be sometimes improper
as we are not understanding everything absolutely, clearly and

Our body benefits from an optimal intake amount which is by GOD's
design and which HE calls an omer:

Yes, but we may be now attuned/brainased to eat less or no
cholesterols?

The other thought;

Can excess glucose in blood cause any blood substances sticky,
aggregate, or club, resuting into some restriction in transcapillary
movement of insulin etc.?

Can hyprglycemia effect changes in endothelliul cells junctution in
capillaries which may restrict normal movement of insulin into tissues?

Is it not essential to body?
"Function
Cholesterol is required to build and maintain cell membranes; it makes
the membrane's fluidity - degree of viscosity - stable over wider
temperature intervals (the hydroxyl group on cholesterol interacts with
the phosphate head of the membrane, and the bulky steroid and the
hydrocarbon chain is embedded in the membrane). Some research indicates
that cholesterol may act as an antioxidant.[1] Cholesterol also aids in
the manufacture of bile (which helps digest fats), and is also
important for the metabolism of fat-soluble vitamins, including
vitamins A, D, E and K. It is the major precursor for the synthesis of
vitamin D and of the various steroid hormones (which include cortisol
and aldosterone in the adrenal glands, and the sex hormones
progesterone, the various estrogens, testosterone, and derivatives ).

Recently, cholesterol has also been implicated in cell signalling
processes, where it has been suggested that it forms lipid rafts in the
plasma membrane. It also reduces the permeability of the plasma
membrane to hydrogen ions (protons) and sodium ions.[2]

"Glycosylation Purpose
The polysaccharide chains attached to the target proteins serve various
functions. For instance, some proteins do not fold correctly unless
they are glycosylated first. Also, polysaccharides linked at the amide
nitrogen of asparagine in the protein confer stability on some secreted
glycoproteins. Experiments have shown that glycosylation in this case
is not a strict requirement for proper folding, but the unglycosylated
protein degrades quickly. Glycosylation may play a role in *cell-cell
adhesion* (a mechanism employed by cells of the immune system), as
well.

That which is readily made in the body far more in excess than is
needed for vital functions is not an essential nutrient.

Ok, thanks.

Yes but how it specifically effect kidneys?

That is so sweet and christian. The feeling of the LORD is
overwhelming! I'm ready to join Fred Phelps congregation, and hold a
'Jesus Hates Faggots' banner at a funeral for a gay AIDS person.

I'm floating! I now feel the purest, wonderful LOVE of JESUS.

No more 666 on MY forehead.

Now... if I can find my crayons, I can be a marcher, no.. a soldier
for the LORD.

not exactly correct, you would picketing the funerals of infants and
other children who died of AIDS no matter how they got the disease,
from their mother, from a blood transfusion, it makes no difference.

No.

By causing glomerulosclerosis.

Glomerulosclerosis.

Early glomerular basement membrane problems are isolated to the
glomerulus and not the rest of the nephron.

Can proteinuria be due to any non damaging reason, say high protien
intake or improper metabolism or vasodialation/relaxed vessels or
increased p[ressure or otherwise?

Persistently high glucose concentrations is toxic for kidney cells.

Persistently high glucose concentrations are toxic to target cells as a

Whether body systems try to avoid such high/toxic glucose
concentrations to target cells and succeed in it?

Until there is the continued choice to overeat leading to the formation
of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) which is the source of inflammatory
cytokines that fuel the cascading systemic inflammation that leads to
metabolic syndrome (MetS) that is the prerequisite for the development
of type-2 diabetes:

http://HeartMDPhD.com/HolySpirit/overweight.asp

Here is the way to reverse the process:

http://HeartMDPhD.com/wtloss.asp

Which now includes a million dollar guarantee:

The existence of VAT concurrently with the existence of subcutaneous
adipose tissue (SAT) can not be explained by Darwin's defunct theory of
evolution but only by GOD, Creator of heaven and earth.

May GOD continue to heal our hearts with HIS living water curing our
diabetes, depression, anxiety or panic so that we can love our
neighbors a little more and LORD Jesus Christ a lot more, dear neighbor
Kumar whom I love unconditionally.

Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love,

Target cells include leukocytes which are intravascular and endothelial
cells which are vascular.
