  1. Man, I love the FDA...

    The fact that every other industrialized nation has abortions, drugs like this, and agencies equivalent to the FDA might indicate to you that you are having a problem with fundamental aspects of human nature rather than anything specific to the American ideal of freedom.
  2. Man, I love the FDA...

    If you're suggesting that both assumptions are equally stupid then congratulations on getting the point. The majority of post-pubertal young people are going to have sex. We probably can't stop this from happening, but we can reduce the number of STD's transmitted and the number of unwanted...
  3. Man, I love the FDA...

    So, you are blaming the FDA for this, and not the federal judge? Did you actually read the article you posted? The FDA had been bowing to pressure from the jesus freaks in the previous administration while ignoring the relevant scientific and medical data demonstrating the safety and efficacy...
  4. Insulin binding to fat cell receptors

    leangains.com is probably the best resource to learn about IF from a body composition perspective. Basically, IF protocols completely contradict the widely accepted notion that you should eat frequently from the time you awaken until you are ready to sleep. Instead, you limit your calorie...
  5. Insulin binding to fat cell receptors

    Not sure the presence or absence of GLUT4 in adipose tissue is relevant to the discussion unless you are suggesting that they translocate in response to exercise as they do in skeletal muscle.
  6. Insulin binding to fat cell receptors

    Yeah, I guess you're right... Acheson KJ, Schutz Y, Bessard T, Anantharaman K, Flatt JP, Jéquier E. Glycogen storage capacity and de novo lipogenesis during massive carbohydrate overfeeding in man. Am J Clin Nutr. 1988 Aug;48(2):240-7. Hellerstein MK. De novo lipogenesis in humans: metabolic...
  7. Insulin binding to fat cell receptors

    Extra glucose is not excreted - except in the case of diabetics experiencing hyperglycemia. If not burned or stored as muscle/hepatic glycogen it will be converted to fat through DNL (de novo lipogenesis).
  8. Insulin binding to fat cell receptors

    Muscular contraction causes glucose transporters (GLUT4 to be precise) to transolcate to the outside of the cell membrane and grab glucose molecules out of the bloodstream; this process is completely independent of insulin. This effect tends to diminish rather rapidly post-exercise. Unless you...
  9. AAS tolerance

    Post something pertaining to skeletal muscle in a mammal model. Or maybe post more in vitro/prostate/seminal vesicle crap and hope nobody points out its irrelevance... Argument from authority isn't working for you. You have failed to post papers demonstrating in vivo down regulation in...
  10. AAS tolerance

    It is ironic that you choose to try begin a retort by taking decontextualized statements from a paper and ignoring the researcher's conclusions while closing with an accusation of 'cherry picking.' Yes, of course you are right. Because prior to this study it had not been firmly established...
  11. AAS tolerance

    If animal research is so compelling maybe you should look at some done since the nineties instead of posting irrelevant in vitro/prostate/seminal vesicles crap. Yes, if you are sufficiently ignorant of the human maturation process to not conceive of the obvious benefit of androgen receptors...
  12. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) aids recovery?

    The primary action we are concerned with is beta-2 receptor activity in adipose tissue in order to maintain enhanced lipolysis and in skeletal muscle in order to increase metabolic rate. There has been no research demonstrating up-regulation of adrenoceptors in these tissues with Ketotifen...
