Skeletal muscle is powered by one important compound; adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The body only stores small amounts of ATP in the muscles so it has to replace and resynthesize this energy compound on an ongoing basis. Understanding how it does this is the key to understanding energy systems. There are 3 separate energy systems throughContinue reading “What body systems are responsible for energy production?”

Metabolic responses to high protein diet in Korean elite bodybuilders with high-intensity resistance exercise coupled with potassium and calcium intake
The study concluded that increased urinary excretion of urea nitrogen and creatinine might be due to the high rates of protein metabolism that follow high protein intake and muscle turnover. The obvious evidence of metabolic acidosis in response to high protein diet in the subjects with high potassium intake and intensive resistance exercise were notContinue reading “Metabolic responses to high protein diet in Korean elite bodybuilders with high-intensity resistance exercise coupled with potassium and calcium intake”
Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity in Men and Women
Males are most likely to meet the criteria for metabolic syndrome: prothrombotic state, proinflammatory state, insulin resistance, raised blood pressure, atherogenic dyslipidemia and abdominal obesity. ————————————- Aside from feeding your brain, use your memory. Use your brain or lose it. Learn new skills. If today’s jobs are either in computers or medical, learn new skills.Continue reading “Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity in Men and Women”
