7. Discussion
Findings from numerous studies indicate that coffee is considered as an important dietary factor related to elevation of adiponectin level. Coffee may also reduce the concentration of leptin; however, it is still under debate.
Coffee is considered as one of the food sources containing several antioxidants [49]. According to studies, dietary intakes play the key role on prevention or promotion of inflammation and obesity [50-53]. Beside dietary intakes, coffee may increase insulin sensitivity via the reduction of inflammation [54]. In addition, lower levels of adiponectin induce greater risks of inflammation and insulin resistance. It is possible that coffee reduce low grade inflammation mediated through the elevation of adiponectin.

Evidence indicated that KLF7 inhibit the adiponectin, leptin and PPARγ [6]. Furthermore, over expression of KLF7 suppress catechin-stimulated adiponectin expression. Consumption of green tea via its catechin attenuates the expression of KLF7 and enhances PPARγ and adiponectin expression and secretion [6]. Green tea enhances energy expenditure. It is also play the important roles on increase the sympathetic nervous system and elevate thermogenesis via the stimulating the norepinephrin secretion. Green tea and catechin display the key role on fatty acid oxidation and weight loss [5, 61, 62]. Adiponectin involves in fatty acid and glucose metabolism as well as insulin sensitivity and weight loss [63]. It is possible that green tea consumption beneficially affect metabolic pathways via increase in adiponectin …show more content…
Regarding coffee and adipokines, there is no cohort study. Cross sectional studies have reported positive roles of coffee on adiponectin concentration [3, 7]. It is possible that coffee have diverse effects in different population [60]. In addition, the amount of coffee consumption which can improve levels of adiponectin is not clearly confirmed. The potential mechanism in this regard is also debated. It is affect adiponectin or it has favorable impact via the weight loss and improvement of metabolic effects.
To our knowledge there is one study regarding the green tea and leptin. More studies should be conducted regarding green tea, leptin and adiponectin. However, green tea may involve in the changes of adiponectin concentration through weight loss [5].
In conclusion, fewer studies are conducted about the possible role of green tea and coffee with concentration of leptin. Based on several studies coffee involve to increase the levels of adiponectin by the unknown mechanisms. Green tea because of its catechin and other components may beneficially influence on circulation of adiponectin. However, more investigation should be conducted in
Instead of Europeans drinking alcoholic drinks, that made them relaxed they began drinking coffee, which made them alert and not fatigued. Coffee represents the age of reason, which explains the development and flourishment of European ideas. Coffee also caused a more effective distribution of
How does elevated insulin levels impact fatty acid synthesis? Elevated insulin levels impact fatty acid synthesis by using up all the glucose for energy instead of storing glycogen for later energy use. Fatty acid synthesis takes place when there is no glucose being consumed for energy. The glycogen that is stored is then broken down into glucose.
A study done on rats looked at how HFCS, sucrose, and water effects body weight, glucose metabolism, liver and serum triglycerides, and retroperitoneal fat deposits. They found that rats that consumed any type of sugary drinks will have a higher fasting insulin level and lower insulin
Dr. Lustig’s main focus throughout the presentation was the effects of fructose on the epidemic of obesity. He explains how we as a society place so much stress on fat intake and calories in versus calories out that we tend to neglect what is actually in our food. With much research, it has been determined that fructose does, in turn have an effect on the obesity epidemic. Throughout the lecture, many examples from this research show our biochemical response to our modern diets and are used to explain Dr. Lustig’s point of fructose poisoning.

In lean mice, they discovered that they contain low amounts of Bacteroidetes and high amounts of Firmicutes. However, in obese mice, the opposite was true. It seems like Firmicutes cause weight gain because their role is to help the body take out the calories from complex sugars, and then store them as fats. The Fat-Burning Bible is based on the discoveries of these studies, as well as on Dr. Forrest’s research, and inside this guide you'll learn different things, including the following: - The latest and comprehensive list of Dr. Forrest’s ingredients that are scientifically proven to increase your weight loss bacteria while eliminating the fat-storing bacteria in your guts. - A list of natural fat-burning superfoods that you can easily buy at your local grocery store for not more than a few pennies.
Article Response: Java Man Malcolm Gladwell presents a description of the progression of caffeine, particularly in the Western culture in order to show the impact of caffeine in the world. Through initiating and presenting a description of the operation of Coca-Cola, Gladwell proceeds to capture the attention of the reader since most readers are familiar with the product. Moreover, Gladwell proceeds to dismiss the commercial artist referred to as Haddon Sundblom, including the scheme that was employed to enhance the popularity of Coke through the creation of caffeine for children. It is imperative to note that this initiative enhanced the popularity of Coke and made it a household beverage.

It is absorbed through the stomach and reaches the highest level in the bloodstream after one or two hours. Caffeine reaches the brain quickly and acts as a stimulant for the nervous system. The most noticeable effect of caffeine is alertness. It causes us to feel less tired, so it is a main ingredient in medicines designed to prevent exhaustion.
America’s Obesity Crisis When one thinks of an epidemic what usually comes to mind? Aids? Maybe even Ebola? Obesity should come to mind because it causes a range of diseases, affects every age group, cost Americans billions of dollars and is very deadly. It’s a frightening reality that millions of Americans deal with every day.
The key to restoring the effectiveness of your body’s leptin will be to reduce and regulate the amount of food and the kinds of food you eat. Barban has made this as easy as possible, by clearly laying out the foods to eat and avoid, recipes to incorporate them, and the daily schedules that you will follow, all included with your
To change the world we need to combat obesity! Being that obesity is the 5th leading cause of deaths worldwide it has become a major issue (EASO, n.d.). Obesity is no longer just in the high income countries we associate it with, it’s now prevalent in middle and low income countries as well. This is cause for concern because now 65% of the world’s population lives in a country where more people die from being overweight or obese instead of being underweight. Death is an extreme when it comes to obesity, but still likely, and it’s mostly seen in the elderly.
B. Most of us enjoy coffee, and coffee enjoys your liver. 1. Coffee lowers the risk of liver cancer. 2. Through research on One Life I have learned, “Scientists found an inverse relationship between coffee drinking and blood levels of liver enzymes…The more subjects drank, the lower their levels of enzymes” (Jong, 2014).
Contrary to what many people think, drinking coffee is not associated with an increased risk of heart disease. In fact, drinking coffee does the exact opposite; it decreases the risk of contracting heart disease. One study in Japan showed that drinking at least 1 cup of coffee on a daily basis reduced the risk of dying from heart disease by 38% in men. Yet another research carried out by Harvard School of Public Health in conjunction with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center concluded that drinking at least 4 cups of coffee daily reduced the risk of heart failure by 11%. Studies have also shown that drinking coffee can help minimize the risk of arteries being
Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, which include soft drinks, fruit drinks, ice tea, energy and vitamin water drinks across the globe. Regular consumption of sugary sweetened beverages have been associated with weight gain, obesity and diabetes. The role of sugary sweetened beverages in the development of related chronic metabole diseases such as metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, has not been quantitatively reviewed . How is consuming sugary beverages harmful to the body ?
