Stress resistance has not been assessed however and so the biological relevance of this finding is currently unknown.32 Several IER trials (75 - 85 % ER on restricted days) in overweight / obese populations have reported reductions in various markers of oxidative stress 37, 41, which in one study was accompanied
by a complementary increase in the anti-oxidant uric acid.37 In a direct comparison of IER (75 % ER for two days / week) and CER, both ER strategies displayed equal efficacy in reducing
levels of fast - acting advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) after six months, which displayed a tendency to occur earlier (i.e. at three months) in the IER group.41 Levels of slow - acting (i.e. long term) AOPP tended to decrease in the IER group and increase in the CER group which the authors proposed may have resulted from IER - induced activation of autophagy, a key homeostatic cellular process in which dysfunctional or unnecessary cellular proteins are degraded and recycled.41 On the other hand, a follow - up study using similar IER / CER protocols demonstrated comparable reductions in AOPP in both groups after three months.48 Summary and Future Research Dire

And since the link between oxidative and non-oxidative pathways, and heart rate is mediated
by hormone
levels, aerobic function isn't really going to be mediated
by cardiovascular fitness: the hormonal changes that result in a reduction of
oxidation and increase in anaerobic function occur at a very high heart rate reserve (long, long before your cardiovascular fitness maxes out).
It is generally advisable to build a high
level of Glutathione in ones blood to protect the body from
oxidation (damage to the tissue
by free radicals).

oxidation to fuel performance as indicated
by lower RQ at every
level of exercise intensity:

levels of free fatty acids are inhibiting glucose
oxidation by cells.
Originated 1970s
by Dr. Henry Lemon, who tested estrogen
levels in 24 hour urine samples and found that an EQ > 1 strongly correlated with a higher survival rate after breast cancer.24 Further research conducted
by Lemon, Heidel, et al., a meta - analysis of published fractional estrogen excretion collected from 2,846 healthy women worldwide aged 15 to 59 years, with a risk of breast cancer varying five-fold, found that an EQ < 1 reflects increased rates of
oxidation of estrone or estradiol to 4 - OH catechols (also referred to in the literature as the 3,4 - catechol estrogen quinones), which have been identified as the principal proximal human mammary carcinogens after menarche, while an EQ > 1 reflects conversion to protective 2 - OH estrogen metabolites.2526
It accomplishes this

levels of antioxidant enzyme systems in your body helping the body to achieve an overall lowering and balancing of the

Oxidation levels.
Polyunsaturated fats such as corn oil and soybean oil are highly unstable and vulnerable to
oxidation — and
oxidation, in turn, is linked to cancer — while the omega - 6 fatty acids that predominate in vegetable oils have been shown to accelerate the growth of tumor cells.6 As Fallon and Enig explain, 4 excessive consumption of toxic polyunsaturated oils — not red meat — represents a known mechanism for colon cancer: «Colon cancer occurs when high
levels of dietary vegetable oils and hydrogenated fats, along with certain carcinogens, are acted on
by certain enzymes in the cells lining the colon, leading to tumor formation» [Emphasis added].
