But as you said, as an individual eats a high - fat diet or is exposed to other types of environmental exposures, the ability of the liver to adapt involves turning on and turning off certain liver genes to control the liver's activity, and that's mediated through these epigenetic mechanisms that modify the activity of established liver genes.

The team's findings demonstrate that irisin produced by bone could have a role in bone metabolism through both direct mechanisms and indirect mechanisms, as the transition from white fat to brown fat has been shown to lead to increased bone formation by previous studies.

Your body always tries to maintain a balanced state, also known as homeostasis, and while you're on a fat - loss diet and trying to maintain a caloric deficit over prolonged periods, leptin levels start to decrease as your body's survival mechanism in order to preserve fat and keep you from starving to death.

This leptin resistance is sensed as starvation, so multiple mechanisms are activated to increase fat stores, rather than burn excess fat stores.

In addition, you usually see weight gain from incorrect meal and snack timing because your metabolism slows down and you start to store food as fat as a safety mechanism — to have a «reserve» knowing a «famine» is ahead.

The research undertaken to date has shown promising results, with the possible implication of cocoa / dark chocolate in the modulation of obesity and body weight through several mechanisms including decreasing the expression of genes involved in fatty acid synthesis, reducing the digestion and absorption of fats and carbohydrates and increasing satiety.»

Researchers think that mechanisms other than the increase in fat - free mass (such as changes in the activity of the sympathetic nervous system) are partly responsible.

The mechanism of this MCT - ketone metabolism appears to be that your body treats MCTs as a carbohydrate and not a fat.

Cortisol release in the body causes fat to be made available as fuel or to be moved from places where it is stored (the legs and thighs, for example) to the vital organs in the abdomen as a «protective» mechanism in times of stress.

As you learned earlier, children burn fat more efficiently than adults, and it appears that during exercise, this increased fat oxidation serves as a mechanism to stop any drop in blood glucosAs you learned earlier, children burn fat more efficiently than adults, and it appears that during exercise, this increased fat oxidation serves as a mechanism to stop any drop in blood glucosas a mechanism to stop any drop in blood glucose.

While you may not notice this, especially if it's an ongoing problem, but your energy and endurance is not what it should be, you are vulnerable to aches and pains, body fat content is too high, and you're under too much stress as the anaerobic system is connected with our fight or flight stress mechanism.

The belly fat is the hardest to get rid of because it was put there by your system as a «survival» mechanism.

Muscle takes energy to keep up and running, so if you're low on fat already instead of burning it off, your body will decrease your muscle mass as a safety mechanism to decrease your metabolism and keep your fat.

This leptin resistance is sensed as starvation, so multiple mechanisms are activated to increase fat stores, rather than burn excess fat stores (54 - 83).

The key difference is that the athletic activity in indigenous cultures provides the perfect mechanism to reduce insulin levels: as soon as the volume of athletic activity creates a drop in blood sugar (which happens a lot in indigenous cultures) insulin levels drop, which means that leptin levels rise: fat oxidation (and oxidation in general) increases dramatically.

Moreover, humans can exist quite easily without ever eating carbs, since the body has several mechanisms for generating glucose from the fat and proteins consumed, as well as from proteins stripped from muscle tissue.

In this survival mode, we either store fat for future energy stores or affect our stress hormones by causing our adrenals to release cortisol to boost blood sugar as a safety mechanism, keeping energy levels heightened.

When thyroid function is poor, usually due to a diet high in sugar and low in usable iodine, fat - soluble vitamins and other nutrients, the body floods the blood with cholesterol as an adaptive and protective mechanism, providing a superabundance of materials needed to heal tissues and produce protective steroids.

As part of complex metabolic mechanisms, increased lactate can reduce aerobic function and fat - burning, and increases oxidative stress, and is associated with:

Thereby, it becomes more aggressive as your body's survival is its main goal and it triggers and ups all the mechanisms it can, to hoard up even more fat than before.

But, now we know animal fats can have all sorts of other adverse effects, such as inflammation — so, who knows what the actual mechanism may be.

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 addedas 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 addedAs 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].

So, it is clear that many of the detoxes out there can help you lose weight quickly, but to ensure that this weight loss comes from beneficial mechanisms such as fat loss, you will need to make sure that certain nutrients, like protein, are taken in adequate amounts (around 1.6 grams per kilogram of bodyweight per day).

I am not sure exact mechanisms, but I do not think carbohydrates are simply stored as fat.
