It's Not An Empty Stomach That Stimulates The Hunger Hormone... It's Fatty Foods!
New research led by the University of Cincinnati (UC) suggests that the hunger hormone called Ghrelin is activated by fats from the foods we eat, not those made in the body, in order to optimize nutrient metabolism and promote the storage of body fat.
The new findings turn the current model about Ghrelin in a different direction and point to a specific stomach enzyme (G.O.A.T) responsible for the "ghrelin" activation process that could be targeted in future treatments for metabolic diseases. The laboratory study is published online in the journal Nature Medicine.
Ghrelin is a hormone which was believed to accumulate during periods of fasting and is found in the body in high concentrations just before meals. It is also known as the "hunger hormone" because it has been shown that administration of pharmacological doses acts in the brain to stimulate hunger and increase food intake in animal models and humans.
The Ghrelin hormone is unique in that it requires the addition of a fatty acid (acylation)by a specific enzyme called Ghrelin O-Acyl Transferase (G.O.A.T ) for activation. Originally, it was assumed that the fatty acids attached to Ghrelin by G.O.A.T were produced by the body during fasting.
The new data suggests that the fatty acids needed for Ghrelin activation actually come directly from ingested dietary fats. In a departure from an earlier model that was upheld for nearly a decade, it appears that the Ghrelin system is a lipid sensor in the stomach that informs the brain when calories are available, giving the green light to other calorie-consuming processes such as growing.
The research team used laboratory mouse models to test the effects of over expressing the G.O.A.T enzyme, or knocking it out. They found that, when exposed to a lipid-rich diet, mice without GOAT accumulated less fat than normal mice, while those with over-expressed G.O.A.T accumulated more fat mass than normal mice.
The researchers demonstrated that when exposed to certain fatty foods, mice with more G.O.A.T gain more fat. Conversely, the mice without G.O.A.T gain less fat since their brain does not receive the "fats are here, store them" signal.
Although this study can't be immediately extrapolated to humans, recent human studies at the University of Virginia measured (separately) active and inactive Ghrelin concentrations. Those studies showed that during fasting, active Ghrelin levels were flat, but during the presence of fat from foods, Ghrelin levels peaked with meals as previously described. The believe these human studies support the new model for Ghrelin hormone activity.
The new G.O.A.T studies in mice offer an explanation of what could have been happening during the longer fasting periods in these human studies. Without dietary fats, Ghrelin peaks remain inactive and do not affect storage of fat.
The researchers are particularly interested in how Ghrelin may be involved in the rapid benefits of gastric bypass surgery, the obesity therapy which frequently reduces appetite and improves metabolism before substantial weight loss occurs. Intriguingly, this procedure causes food to bypass the stomach and gut sections that contain G.O.A.T/Ghrelin cells, which, based on this newly described model, would prevent Ghrelin activation.
The study was supported by the Leibniz Graduate College and by the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
Acai Berry Provides Powerful Natural Antioxidant Activity and It's The #1 Superfood For Natural Detox and Effective Weight Loss!
The Acai Berry is a reddish, purple fruit. It comes from the Acai Palm Tree (Euterpe oleracea), which is native to Central and South America. It is a relative of the blueberry, cranberry, and other dark purple fruits.
Research on the Acai Berry has focused on its extraordinary natural antioxidant activity, known to be valuable preventing diseases caused by oxidative stress, such as heart disease and cancer.
Why is the Acai Berry considered so healthy? Acai Berry (pulp, puree) contains several beneficial natural nutritive substances called anthocyanins and flavonoids. Anthocyanins are responsible for the red, purple, and blue hues in many nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables and flowers. Foods that are richest in anthocyanins -- such as blueberries, red grapes, red wine, and acai -- are very strongly colored, ranging from deep purple to black and are known to contain high levels of antioxidant nutrients.
Anthocyanins and flavonoids are powerful antioxidants that help defend the body against life's stressors. They also play a role in the body's cell protection system against free radicals, harmful byproducts produced by the body.
Eating a diet rich in antioxidants may interfere with aging process and subsequent diseases by neutralizing free radicals. By reducing the destructive power of free radicals, antioxidants may help reduce the risk of some diseases, such as heart disease and cancer.
Some studies show that Acai Berry's fruit pulp has a very high natural antioxidant capacity... containing even more antioxidant levels than cranberry, raspberry, blackberry, strawberry or blueberry.
Can Acai Berries boost weight loss? Scientists are learning more about the functional power of superfoods, such as the Acai Berry and the benefit of acai in promoting weight loss. Acai Berry contains the most powerful and effective naturally-occurring ingredients for internal cleansing and boosting metabolic function to help manage weight-control. A vast amount of research supports eating a diet rich in antioxidants to build a strong immune system and live a toxic-free lifestyle. There's no doubt that berries and other fruits are a key part of any healthy diet promoting weight loss.
The nutrients in Acai Berry support the optimum functioning of bodily systems and healthy organs, including...
- Increases energy, libido and stamina
- Helps promote healthy, glowing skin and hair
- Helps support healthy sleep
- Supports immune system function
- Acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory
- Helps reduce pain and soreness
- Helps rejuvenate your body and helps sharpen mental alertness
How does Acai Berry contribute to assist with these common health concerns? Gram for gram, Acai Berry is one of the nutrient-rich foods available. There are many valuable nutrients in the Acai Berry and the exceptionally high levels of antioxidants (with high ORAC units) are the major reason for the health benefits of Acai Berry.
ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) units, is a unit of measurement for antioxidants developed by the National Institute on Aging in the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has initiated studies to examine the link between antioxidant rich foods, aging and disease.
Here are some direct quotes from the USDA website: "Studies at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston suggest that consuming fruits and vegetables with a high-ORAC value may help slow the aging process in both body and brain."
The lead researcher for the USDA study went on to suggest that "the ORAC measure may help define the dietary conditions needed to prevent tissue damage."
"Science has long held that damage by oxygen free radicals is behind many of the maladies that come with aging, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. There's firm evidence that a high intake of fruits and vegetables reduces risk of cancer and that a low intake raises risk. And recent evidence suggests that diminished brain function associated with aging and disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases may be due to increased vulnerability to free radicals.
The Nutritional Profile of Acai Berry... One of the most perfect fruits in the world, the ultra rich Antioxidant and Anthocyanins levels make Acai is one of the highest antioxidant fruits in the world. In fact, Acai has 10 times the antioxidant level of grapes and twice that of blueberries. Acai has 10 to 30 times the Anthocyanins of red wine.
The ORAC score for 100 grams of freeze dried Acai powder is over 50,000. An incredibly impressive number when you consider most of the population consumes less than 1,000 ORAC units a day.
Natural Source of Omega 3, Omega 6 & Omega 9 Healthy, Unsaturated Fats... The Acai Berry is very rich in healthy unsaturated fats. Nearly 50% of the Acai Berry is Omega-rich fat - with 74% of the fat coming from beneficial unsaturated fats such as Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9.
Good Source of Beneficial Amino Acids and Protein... 19 different amino acids have been identified in Acai. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and Acai provides over 8 grams of protein per 100 gram serving of the natural pulp. It's an ideal source of high quality protein for vegetarians and people who want to boost their intake of amino acids from non-animal food sources.
Excellent Source of Heart-Healthy Plant Sterols... Beneficial plant sterols (phytosterols) have been identified in Acai including B-sitosterol, campesterol and sigmasterol. Phytosterols have been shown to have numerous health benefits for maintaining healthy heart and digestive function.
Good Source of Vitamins and Minerals... Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C and E are all present in Acai. In fact, Acai contain as much Vitamin C as blueberries and is a particularly valuable source of Vitamin A. In addition, Acai also provides essential minerals including Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Copper and Zinc.
Good Source of Fiber... For a fruit, Acai has a strong fiber profile. There are about 14 grams of beneficial fiber in every 100 grams of freeze dried Acai Berry powder.
