If there is no muscle, it gets converted into fat. 2:45 About 83% of American adults suffer from some sort of insulin resistance. 3:25 Insulin resistance favors muscle protein catabolism, at the expense of muscle protein synthesis. 6:18 Insulin resistance activates atrophy genes. 6:50 You become more insulin resistant and lose muscle mass as you age. 7:40 Hyperinsulinemia accelerates atherosclerosis (heart disease) and cancer. 10:58 Insulin resistance leads to a decline of mTOR activation in your muscle. 13:00 About .1% of all of your muscle tissue is turning over at any point. Progenitor stem cells are involved in the maintenance and regeneration of your muscles. 14:00 Muscle is the most active site of protein metabolic processes in the body. 14:25 You may get better gains from exercise and resistance training by being more insulin sensitive. 15:10 Background inflammation from insulin resistance can accelerate muscle atrophy. 16:00 To become more insulin sensitive…
