Low Carb Down Under presentation
Beta-hydroxybutyrate BHB
-ketone produced by liver from fatty acids
Blocks NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated inflammatory disease
When keto-adapted (fat adapted) we severely reduce
chronic inflammation
Histone deacetylase
-enzyme that removes the acetyl group from histone proteins
on DNA
-allowing the histones to wrap the DNA more tightly
BHB alters the epigenetic affect on histone deacetylases &
-reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS)
-thus reducing their effect on membrane polyunsaturated
fatty acids
-BEFORE they turn into pro-inflammatory isoprostanes
BHB presence in cells reduces inflammation
Helps us understand why people on a well-formulated
-ketogenic diet
-have dramatic, positive effects on type 2 diabetes
2008 study: randomized, control trial of
-Low fat diet (LFD) only ate 12g saturated fat per day
-Keto (LCD) ate 36g saturated fat per day
RESULTS
Low carb diet (keto) group lost twice as much fat as LFD
