Blocking ER-α in liver cancer cells made them much less able to invade through membranes in lab tests, with about 75-80% fewer cells able to move through the barrier.
When healthy young men only eat between noon and 8pm for five days straight, it doesn't change how their glycerol levels respond after eating a high-fat meal
Using a virus to deliver the genetic tool worked better than other methods, with about 80% of liver cancer cells taking up the treatment successfully.
When healthy young men only eat between noon and 8pm for five days straight, it doesn't change how their free fatty acid levels respond after eating a high-fat meal
When ER-α was blocked in liver cancer cells, fewer cells were in the DNA-copying phase and more cells died, which explains why the cells grew slower.
When healthy young men only eat between noon and 8pm for five days straight, it doesn't change how their insulin levels respond after eating a high-fat meal
When using a control that doesn't block ER-α, there was no change in cancer cell growth, invasion, or death compared to normal cells.
When healthy young men only eat between noon and 8pm for five days straight, it doesn't change how their blood sugar levels respond after eating a high-fat meal
When healthy young men only eat between noon and 8pm for five days straight, it doesn't change how many calories they burn while resting
When healthy young men only eat between noon and 8pm for five days straight, it doesn't change how many calories they burn in a full day
When ER-α was blocked in liver cancer cells, fewer cells were in the DNA-copying phase of the cell cycle and more cells died through programmed cell death.
When healthy young men only eat between noon and 8pm for five days straight, it doesn't change how their blood fat levels respond after eating a high-fat meal
Blocking ER-α in liver cancer cells made them grow much slower in lab tests, with about a third less growth in some tests and half fewer colonies forming in soft agar.
When healthy young men only eat between noon and 8pm for five days straight, their bodies burn fat faster after eating a high-fat meal compared to when they eat throughout the day
Using a special virus to deliver a genetic tool that blocks ER-α gene activity successfully lowered ER-α levels in liver cancer cells within a day or two.
When healthy young men only eat between noon and 8pm for five days straight, their bodies burn fat much faster while they're fasting compared to when they eat throughout the day
When men and women don't eat for 3 days, men tend to have higher levels of blood pressure, blood flow to arms, calorie burning rate, and stress hormones than women, but both sexes respond similarly to fasting.
When people don't eat for 3 days, their noradrenaline levels go up, but not until after the second day of fasting.
When people don't eat for 3 days, their adrenaline levels go up, but not until after the second day of fasting.
When people don't eat for 3 days, their active thyroid hormone (FT3) levels drop, but their overall thyroid hormone (FT4) stays the same, showing how the thyroid adapts to fasting.
When people don't eat for 3 days, their insulin levels drop significantly, which is part of the body's adaptation to fasting.
When people don't eat for 3 days, their body produces more ketones (a type of fuel made from fat), which can be measured as rising levels of beta-hydroxybutyrate in the blood.
