"The new findings promise to help untangle the early molecular events of
a syndrome at the root of one of the world's most significant health
issues. ³Knowing how insulin resistance alters energy storage before it
leads to more serious problems can help those susceptible prevent the
onset of the metabolic syndrome,² Shulman said.
Another key observation was that skeletal muscle insulin resistance
precedes the development of insulin resistance in liver cells, and that
fat production in the liver is increased. ³These findings also have
important implications for understanding the pathogenesis of
nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, one of the most prevalent liver
diseases in both adults and children² Shulman said.
The good news, according to Shulman, is that insulin resistance in
skeletal muscle can be countered through a simple intervention:
exercise."

I'd suggest that the shift from sand lot playing to organized games
has reduced the amount of exercise significantly. Practice on yada
yada and game on Yada Yada not enough. "leave those kids alone" comes
to mind . We played every day for hours and in winter it was ice
skating and snow removal aka snow forts.
Today young folks deal with less physical work, more hours though and
sedentary entertainment. I suggest shaking your booty often is a
cheap good thing. Fun too.

I'm not sure I'd conclude that this is due to "genetic disposition." What's
important is the discovery that skeletal muscle insulin resistance can occur
first and then cause the other components of MetS.
The "epidemic" we're having may well be due to all the labor-saving devices
and systems we've come up with. We don't need muscle any more. But we need
to think again about that...
And then we take that growing population of those with muscle insulin
resistance and hit it with a highly processed high carb diet and tell them
to lay off the fat. We need to think about that, too...

Actually this study was conducted in the following manner:
More than 400 non-overweight sedentary volunteers were evaluated for
insulin senstivity index (ISI) and 12 with the highest ISI and 12 with
the lowest ISI were compared.
By definition the 12 with lowest ISI (insulin resistant) **already**
have metabolic syndrome (MetS) and indeed they were determined to have
statistically significant higher fasting blood glucose, higher fasting
triglycerides, and lower HDL compared to the 12 with the highest ISI
(insulin sensitive).
Bottomline:
The insulin resistant (IR) volunteers already have too much visceral
adipose tissue (VAT) even though they are not overweight
(BMI=23.9+/-0.6).
Primary source:
http://www.pnas.org/cgi/reprint/0705408104v1.pdf
Additional comments:
Interestingly, even the insulin sensitive volunteers had visceral
adipose tissue (VAT) which in this study was measured as abdominal fat
volume (AFV) and determined to be 340+/-91 mls. The IR/MetS
volunteers did have on average more AFV (390+/-92 mls) though there is
too much overlap for statistical significance.
Because fat is less dense than water (1 gm/ml), it seems that all it
takes for IR to develop in some folks is less than a pound of
VAT ! ! !
Therefore, it remains wise to eat less, down to the optimal amount to
lose every ounce of VAT to cure the IR/MetS and possibly even type-2
diabetes:

Is unemployed after being sacked with cause from his one and only job
after just over 80 days
Fled the state of Florida, and now claims to practice in Georgia
despite having no admission priveliges in the State's hospitals
Runs a phony foundation with a total declared income of circa $200,
the ownership and contact details of which are obfuscated on its
website
Makes failed prophecies concerning earthquakes with areas and dates,
which don't happen (remember the bible quotes about false prophets)
Performed a public attempt at 'exorcising' a Malaysian sock on usenet,
then denied doing it. He has recently reversed position again and
admits to practicing exorcism by usenet, proving himself a liar in the
process.
Promotes a dangerous diet, with a million dollar guarantee that he
demands thirty dollars to access details of. This despite being
unemployed. His soliciting and spamming for donations looks to be
similar to the Nigerian Advance Fee Fraud, where victims pay money
upfront in the hope of coming into riches but find they have merely
bought into a lie. Part of his advice is to pour nail polish remover
onto food.
Declares he has a cardiology practice despite posting night and day
from the same IP address (his home presumably) or a coffee shop
internet cafe
Makes further false prophecies that we should now be all dying in a
bird flu pandemic. When these fail to happen, he does them all over
again and changes the dates. Nuclear war is another Chung spciality,
which naturally doesn't happen when he says it is going to.
Worships evil hatemonger Fred Phelps and will not denounce the acts of
Westboro's congregation. He even accuses someone with the name Phelps
of being Fred's son and refuses to accept he is completely wrong.
Uses the same patter as Pat Robertson, indicating his religious
activity is confined to watching cable TV. No evidence Chung has ever
attended a church.
Has a tendency to cyberstalk, particularly women. His wife fled some
time ago to another state, an act which Chung tries to pass off as
"being on vacation".
Frequently passes himself off as being qualified in areas such as
endocrinology, despite making incredibly fundamental blunders in his
'advice'. It is no wonder the Florida heart facility terminated him,
and has publicly denounced his version of events. Again archived on
Google.
Don't forget the fake fast, where he didn't lose any weight, as well
as the infamous 666 stamping fiasco. His latest vile trick is spamming
the blogs of dying cancer patients and then crowing triumphantly when
they pass away.

That would have been the case if they had found volunteers with zero
VAT and insulin resistance in muscle.
Instead, they have found folks with normal insulin sensitivity who
acquired VAT **before** acquiring insulin resistance.
Thus it logically follows that VAT comes before insulin resistance in
the muscle.

Doesn't ketosis occur with weight loss to some level no matter the diet?
Another thing is that type II diabetics are sometimes called
ketosis-resistant diabetics because their bodies tend to not go into
ketosis. Truthfully the controlled carb meals that people post that they
eat on this group would not make a ketostick show any color for me unless
maybe I only ate their 1 meals-worth of food in a whole day.
So, I suspect that if what you are saying about ketosis inhibiting the
breakdown of VAT is true, it still wouldn't happen to the type II diabetics
on this group if they are eating the kind of meals that they are posting
about.

But, the research article you posted said that for the people with insulin
resistance net muscle glycogen synthesis was reduced by 60% and plasma
triglyceride concentrations were increased by 60%, so for people with
insulin resistance a large part of the glucose from carbs in the meal is
being converted to triglycerides following a meal.

But in the article you just posted the 60% increase in plasma triglyceride
levels in the insulin resistant people came after a high carbohydrate diet.
Wikpedia lists one of the hypertriglyceridemia a high sugar diet, so I have
a hard time believing that Non-fasting hypertriglyceridemia is more from
dietary lipids that from dietary carbohydrates.
KC
Actually a person with zero VAT will be the exact opposite of an
anorexic.
An anorexic is someone without an appetite.
A person with zero VAT is someone with a tremendous appetite.
Look to the olympic gymnastic gold-medalists as folks with zero VAT.
They are under strict supervision by their coaches to keep them from
overeating.

Not when their are adequate carbohydrates to maintain a healthy amount
of glycogen stores in the muscle and liver.

That would be because they are not as susceptible to go into
ketoacidosis from insulin lack.
Starvation ketosis is hyperketonemia and not ketoacidosis.
> Truthfully the controlled carb meals that people post that they

This would be because these controlled carb meals contain enough
protein, which can be converted to carbohydrates by the liver.

It would possibly happen if they decreased their intake down to the
optimal amount required for VAT loss.

The 60% increase is baseline levels of plasma triglycerides is due to
increased release of triglycerides by the liver from the breakdown of
lipid stores and not from the de novo synthesis of fatty acids from
glucose.
The spike of triglycerides right after a meal would be the non-fasting
hypertriglyceridemia resulting from the lipid content of the meal.
> Wikpedia lists one of the hypertriglyceridemia a high sugar diet, so I have
> a hard time believing that Non-fasting hypertriglyceridemia is more from

Baseline hypertriglyceridemia is caused by the breakdown of lipid
stores by the liver and not from the de novo synthesis of fatty acids
from glucose.
It is only when we are hungry that our VAT is maximally perfused to
allow extraction of VAT lipid stores to bring about the apoptosis of
VAT cells thereby reducing VAT volume.
The lack of physical work or certainly contributes to this ;what will
soon be an epidemic ;of Metabolic syndrome and diabetes. There does
seem to be a genetic difference in the way people store energy, From
an article on this
study;
" To begin to shed light on the earliest molecular events that lead to
the metabolic syndrome, Shulman and his colleagues used powerful new
magnetic resonance imaging techniques to observe how nutrients are
channeled in the body in both insulin resistant and insulin sensitive
human subjects.
The subjects for the study were all young, lean, non-smoking, healthy
individuals who were sedentary and matched for physical activity.
Aside from insulin resistance in one cohort, these volunteers had none
of the other confounding factors typically associated with obesity and
type 2 diabetes, which have been thought to play a key role in the
pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome.
"Our hypothesis was that the metabolic syndrome is really a problem
with how we store energy from food," Shulman explained. "The idea is
that insulin resistance in muscle changes the pattern of energy
storage."
After providing the study's subjects with two meals high in
carbohydrates, Shulman and his colleagues turned to magnetic resonance
spectroscopy to measure the production of liver and muscle
triglyceride, the storage form of fat, and of glycogen, the storage
form of carbohydrate. "What we found is that (insulin) sensitive
individuals took the energy from carbohydrate in the meals and stored
it away as glycogen in both liver and muscle," said Shulman.
In the insulin resistant subjects, the energy obtained from their
carbohydrate rich meals was rerouted to liver triglyceride production,
elevating triglycerides in the blood by as much as 60 percent and
lowering HDL cholesterol (the "good cholesterol") by 20 percent. "In
contrast to the young, lean, insulin-sensitive subjects, who stored
most of their ingested energy as liver and muscle glycogen, the young,
lean, insulin-resistant subjects had a marked defect in muscle
glycogen synthesis and diverted much more of their ingested
carbohydrate into liver fat production," Shulman and his colleagues
reported. "
http://www.scienceblog.com/cms/metabolic-syndrome-dont-blame-belly-fat-13712.html
The key is that all were young and lean they just processed
carbs differently. Additional evidence that a lo carb diet is very
helpful for those with insulin resistance Thanks Vince
Actually, this study shows that VAT occurs first because all their
volunteers, including "normals," have detectable VAT. Moreover, the
trend was less VAT being associated with more insulin sensitivity.

While there is overeating, no amount of physical work will result in
the loss of VAT to effect a cure for IR/MetS.
It logically follows from this simple fact that it is more intelligent
to eat less, down to the optimal amount to lose the VAT, cure the IR/
MetS, and possibly cure the type-2 diabetes:
http://HeartMDPhD.com/HolySpirit/Healing
Matthew 5:6 - Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for
righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
Luke 6:21, 25 - Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be
satisfied. . . Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry.
Both these quotes from the Bible, and both infer that God (or Jesus)
considers hunger to be BAD.
Those who are hungry (for food or spiritual matters) will have the BAD
hunger removed, and those who are 'full' will be made hungry because
hunger is BAD.
"Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry" means HUNGER IS
BAD
Chung twists these quotes to sell his diet and gain fraudulent donations
for his one-man charity. No wonder he dare not set foot inside a church.
The Two Pound Diet is based on a lie, and Chung distorts scripture to
sell it. Expect him to either run away screerching and howling, or do a
furious little foot-stamping jig on Bob Pastorio's grave. Either way
Chung's core lies are exposed and the VICTORY is for the TRUTH of his
vile ways.

I agree that this study falls short of establishing a genetic link. It
does however appear that there may be a genetic component to the way
people process carbs. It also provides more evidence that a low carb
diet and exercise are both important treatments for Metabolic
syndrome. I believe there is a genetic component that is allowed to be
expressed by our lifestyle of today. Thanks Vince

No, not in this particular post you haven't, you are correct there.
But, lets take a look at some of your less recent posts. Quite
forgetful, eh? Could be a dissociative problem, the moments that you
can't remember are most likely when your zealous, narrow-minded alter
ego takes control and runs straight toward the keyboard.
My theory is, you live in a complete fantasy world with no finished
thoughts, no reason, only a few phrases. Did you create those websites
online praising the elusive Andrew B. Chung from Atlanta? I truly
believe you did, only because they are obviously the work of a fool
with Frontpage Express and funny, I've noticed that in other groups
where your credibility would be less questioned, people seem to take a
strong disliking to you there as well.

Andy is Evil
Andrew,
The article you post proves that the comments you gave above are not true.
The article shows that the VAT didn't significantly differ between the
insulin resistant groups and the control group. It therefore shows that the
insulin resistance in muscle came before the VAT came.
I should just quit posting to you because I know no matter what I say, or
what proof you see you are just going to keep believing what you believe,
yet somehow I am still posting. For me, and many others here, knowing that
the insulin resistance in the muscles comes first is very important to our
health. It does show us the way to be healthier without necessarily being
hungrier. It does show us to watch the carbs to avoid or reduce obesity
since our bodies do not react the same way to the carbs as others who do not
go on to develop obesity or diabetes.
There is proof that eating a low calorie diet with high nutrient density
does increase lifespan dramatically in animals, and I believe it is also
true in people, so what you say is not so far off. We would indeed have a
better chance at getting to live longer if we ate a low calorie diet that
was rich in nutrients even to the point of being regularly hungry, as long
as it wasn't so severe it starved us to death and as long as it actually was
dense in nutrients. There are people who do this.
But, the 2 pound diet is not so good in my opinion as it would be very
difficult to eat enough nutrient dense food on 2 pounds a day. If anyone
starts paying attention to what produce weighs, they will see it is
impossible to eat many calories from fruit or vegetable sources before you
are over 2 pounds of food because fruits and veggies have high water
contents. I think only ill health could come from following the 2 pound
diet over a long period of time. Counting calories and counting nutrients
carefully to make sure you are getting enough would be the wiser way to eat
a low calorie diet over a long period of time.
KC
The publication date is July 31, 2007.
VAT is indeed present before IR/MetS in each instance given in the
article.
> The article shows that the VAT didn't significantly differ between the
> insulin resistant groups and the control group.
The study did not have enough power (too few enrolled volunteers) to
detect small differences in amount of VAT.
With the constraint the volunteers be normal weight, the differences
in amount of VAT was expected to be small.
If they has chosen to look at overweight folks, the differences in
amount of VAT would have probably been large enough for them to detect
a difference despite the small study size.
> It therefore shows that the
> insulin resistance in muscle came before the VAT came.
Erroneous conclusion arise from a faulty interpretation of flawed
data.
Only finding folks developing insulin resistance in muscle while
having absolutely no VAT would prove that such insulin resistance
precedes the formation of VAT.
This finding did not occur in the study described in the cited PNAS
article.
To the contrary, VAT was detected and quantified in **all** of the
folks with IR/MetS studied.

See above for what it would take to convince me otherwise.

Falsely believing this gives you false hope that exercise will help
you cure your condition while dashing the hopes of a cure for those
who are physically unable to exercise.
Thankfully, even those who a physically unable to exercise are able to
choose to eat less, down to the optimal amount to become hungrier
(healthier), losing the VAT, curing the IR/MetS, and possible curing
their type-2 diabetes:

That would be a false way... one that does not work.

You will discover if you have not already that watching carbs neither
avoids nor reduces VAT formation especially if there is loss of
hunger.
It is only when we are hungry that our bodies get rid of VAT.
The physiological explanation for this is that it is only when we are
hungry that vascular perfusion of VAT and viscera (GI tract) is
increased to a level that permits extraction of lipid stores from VAT
to effect the apoptosis of its cells.
> There is proof that eating a low calorie diet with high nutrient density

Actually, laboratory animals double their lifespan when researchers
simply halve their intake from what they would typically eat ad lib in
the lab.

The hunger would indicate that neither starving nor nutrient
deficiencies were taking place.

Those who have befriended hunger are doing this.

32 ounces is plenty of food to avoid nutritional deficiencies.
If you do not believe this, it would be a simple matter to take a
daily multivitamin to allay any such concerns.

We do not want folks with VAT to eat many calories.
It is eating many calories that caused the VAT and is keeping it
around.

Been using this Approach for 10 years with only beneficial effect.

Those who are unable to weigh their meals to eat less are even less
able to count both calories and nutrients.
Truly, it is the world's great lie that "hunger is bad" that is
keeping you from the truth, dear Kathy.

I don't follow it, but based on checking out a typical week's diet for
me a few years ago I suspect I eat about 2lbs of food a day, and have
been doing so for many years.
> Counting calories and counting nutrients
> carefully to make sure you are getting enough would be the wiser way to eat

I think it's silly to use indirect surrogate end-points in dietary
control when it's easy enough to measure the real thing. If you want
to know whether you're eating enough calories all you have to do is to
weigh yourself regularly. If you're not losing weight you're eating
enough. No need at all to count carbs. Not only is counting carbs more
work, but it depends on all sorts of assumptions which may not always
be true.
The same point applies to the 2lb diet. As you point out removing
chips from a meal and adding cabbage might well make it both heavier
and lower in calories. But if you want to reduce weight you don't need
to weigh your plates any more than you need to count calories. All
you need to do is to weigh yourself, and eat less if you're not losing
weight.

Of course there is a need to count carbs for a diabetic who is injecting
boluses of insulin based on how many carbs they eat. But, I imagine that
you are posting from a group that is not alt.support.diabetes.
KC
Actually, Chris is posting from ASD.
As for the need to count carbs for a diabetic who is injecting
insulin, the case could be made that if there is no weighing of meals,
there is no real counting of carbs from the view of a scientist like
Chris.
Mr. chung is to be ignored for all matters related to diabetes, as any
who have read but a few of his ill advised posts come to know quickly.
Any new readers should know the facts of his poor advice. All the below
can be supported upon request.
He has not kept up on the research in diabetes and related areas of
science. He has invented a two pound diet based on trash science he has
also invented. It was invented to serve a non-science agenda also of
his own invention. He willfully ignores valid science research which
refutes in part and in whole all the claims of both his two pound diet
and the agenda. He has been shown that research but refuses to
acknowledge it.
One should at once and with complete peace of mind ignore him in this
area of medicine and science.
God bless.
