A study published in the journal Clinical Science looked at 9 healthy participants, age 25-45, who led a sedentary lifestyle that supplemented with 4 grams of DHA and EPA daily for an 8-week period The pathways which regulate protein synthesis (mTORSer2448 and p70s6kThr389) increased by roughly 50% (50% more active in the presence of higher omega-3 fatty acid levels) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... 4) Sodium, Fructose & Glucose for Enhanced Carb Absorption Study - The British Journal of Nutrition The ingestion of glucose:fructose was at an average rate of 2.4 g/min resulted in 65% greater oxidation than glucose only and very high peak oxidation rates of 1.75 g/min were reached https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1... 5) Fasting & Mitochondrial Density To increase mitochondrial density you have to upregulate the expression of AMPK (for mitochondrial biogenesis) and force your body to improve its functioning https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... 6) Training at the end of your fast - P70S6K A study from the European Journal of Applied Physiology had subjects split into two groups that were trained on two occasions separated by three weeks - one of the sessions was performed on an empty stomach after an overnight fast Found: Increased p70s6k phosphorylation during intake of a protein–carb drink following resistance exercise in the fasted state - fasted training group saw a bigger increase in p70s6k https://link.springer.com/article/10.... 7) MCT Oil at Night - Thermogenic Effect Allocate MCT oil towards the end of your eating window to get more of a catecholamine response before bed Study - European Journal of Clinical Nutrition https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8... 8) Caffeine & Glycogen Loading Caffeine (combined with carbohydrates) following exercise can help refill muscle glycogen faster than carbs alone Study - Journal of Applied Physiology https://www.physiology.org/doi/full/1... 9) Grass-finished Meat Animals that are fed green grass also store more vitamin A in their livers, which is why grass-finished beef is higher in beta carotene - the precursor to vitamin A Vitamin A is useful because it supports protein synthesis - Vitamin A levels decrease as protein synthesis increases https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6...
