What about Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) and preventing neuropathies?

Antiperspirant deodorants, pharmacies have some very effective ones, some of them have aluminum chloride which can keep you perspirant free for an entire week on a single application.

in Dressing The Man by Alan Flusser it is mentioned that the vest should be long enough to cover the belt (although suspenders are prefered when wearing a vest) and that it in no circumstance should allow the tucked in shirt to be revealed. There's also a sort-of tradition of leaving the bottom button undone, owing to a choice/accident made by King Edward VII.

Examples: 1 2 3

Great job! Do you do any accessory work besides three/workout?

Though the primary purpose of this thread is to make a checklist, I'd still like to really recommend Glenn Pendlay's Clean tutorial. It is very, very pedagogical.

part one of three, rest are linked below on the page.

Indeed! It looked like it was fat that was implied to be the substrate for the gluconeogenesis yielding glucose, which it isn't, hence me asking for a clarification!

This is due to the systems in the blood for taking care of the bruise. Firstly, a bruise is a bleed. The red blood cells that give rise to the bruise are phagocytized (eaten) by macrophages (an immune cell). The hemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying component of the red blood cell) is enzymatically converted to bilirubin (which has a blue-green color) and later hemosiderin (which is more of a goldenbrown color). These steps happen so the body can recycle the hemoglobin.

I apologize for the late reply! The processes yielding these results on a macroscopic level are really beyond my realm of knowledge, and I really don't want to confuse you with any speculation. Best of luck!

What do you mean by "running the cycle backwards"? The body uses beta-oxidation to produce acetyl-CoA from fat, which is then sent to the Kreb's Cycle (running in the...'forward'...direction), yielding ATP.

Also a clarification. Ketone bodies are of three types: beta-hydroxybuturate, acetoacetate and acetate, two of these can be used by the body to produce more acetyl-CoA, which is something important to note because the brain can cover a portion of its energy requirements using these ketone bodies, when there is a lack of glucose (such as in a ketogenic diet). Only acetate is a metabolic dead end, and is also the ketone body responsible for the breath.

Hi! Could you elaborate or source the claim regarding the visceral fat being the most difficult to burn, and therefore the "oldest"?

I was mostly thinking in the abdominal region (due to the study you linked). If I recall correctly from biochemistry, then the visceral fat is the most metabolic active and has a very high rate of lipolysis thereby contributing significantly to the availability of free fatty acids. Visceral fat also has extremly good blood flow, shouldn't it then be reasonable that it is also easier than to burn off/has a greater turnover in comparison with say, subcutanous fat when looking at it from a longer perspective (meaning beyond the acute phase of exercise)?

If you mean biochemically then sensitisation is due to phosphorylation of potassium channels, in response to serotonin from a neighbour interneurons, which yields longer depolarisation and a greater influx of calcium which in turn yields a greater neurotransmittor release ==> greater signal.

Habituation if I recall is due to the synaptic vesicles running out (rate of release > rate of production) yielding less neurotransmittor release to the same stimulus.

If anyone has a more correct answer or sees errors, feel free to correct me!

It does have a real effect, but not as significant as say aspirin or warfarin. According to Medline, a dose of ~3g/day may be sufficient for an anticoagulative effect.

Simply put: Fish oil is an anticoagulant. The less coagulative factors you have in your blood, the easier you bruise.

Biochemically: Fish oil is an anticoagulant and if I recall correctly it's specifically due to the omega-3 fatty acid being used in the production of tromboxane A3 ( a procoagulant ) which is a less effective coagulant than the tromboxane A2 normally produced, hence an anticoagulative effect.

Indeed! We are far from sterile creatures and for good reasons given our symbiotic relationship to several of our commensal bacteria. I agree that eating something that has dropped on normal floor is probably benign. I'd still be wary of eating something that has been dropped in a place like OP's picture. Really, there is no reason for OP to take flack for avoiding eating something that has been dropped in what seems to be the eldorado of dust and grime, given that it is where he keeps his cleaning tools.

Trust you? There are several very pathogenic organisms capable of surviving in such areas, primarily spores of bacteria and certain viruses. The probability may not be the highest, but it is certainly nothing to act nonchalant about.

Why? The only thing I can think off the top of my head as a potential negative is the medial meniscus and collateral ligament being attached. But even that most likely has some advantage. I'd like to know what you mean.

Hiya! I recall seeing this review discussed over at studentdoctor, there was some talk about it being biased.

I'd like to recommend the Antec Kuhler 620 or 920, they're also made by Asetek and are excellent closed-loop water coolers.

"Also a Ph.D. student in Neuroscience, and I am in Garrett Stanley's lab.

The procedure is as invasive as you have portrayed it, but the cat's status during this time is not quite as you have portrayed it. In almost all acute studies (i.e. the animal is not expected to survive) the animal is never unconscious as that is actually detrimental to the experiment. I don't do the experimental work, but I have sat in on a few. After they get to the brain (which actually takes a few hours) they insert the electrode into the appropriate coordinates and depth, and then show some spatially specific stimuli to understand where they are in the visual map. Some penetrations don't yield usable neurons (either nothing fires, or it fires only briefly then seems to die, without histology you never really know). A single animal rarely yields 200 functional neurons to get recordings from, unless you're talking about LFP, which isn't what was done for these experiments.

To present the cat as a slab of meat by the time the electrodes are hooked up is actually highly misleading, as one of the most important things to do during the entire duration of the experiment is to make sure that the proper dosage of anesthesia is delivered so that the animal is neither unconscious nor waking up/awake.

But at least you presented the true science absolutely right; at this level of the brain (thalamus; LGN) very little to no processing has occurred and cortical interaction is minimal. "
