    LeptiGen

    Just in case someone is interested ... let me summarize what has been posted about LeptiGen and its probably most active ingredient, glucosamine. For those interested in experimenting a bit with glucosamine, here is the relevant information: ========================================== (1)...

    LeptiGen

    Of all the stuff he has listed there, only one I don't know about is simmondsin and calcium pyruvate. (1) vitamine E & zinc -- these are known to aid in raising leptin. (2) glucosamine HCL -- See other glucosamine threads for info. Glucosamine sulfate, I believe, is the preferred form, not...

    Oligopeptides for Fat Loss?

    Jon I looked up the article -- pretty interesting. Too bad relevant information is "hidden." When the article goes on at length about sequences of peptides, but does not explain the mechanism by which fat deposition and lipogenesis is prevented, I get the feeling that the whole...

    Lyle, glucosamine (again!) absorption ...

    In case I was not clear, let me add a few more comments. From the preceding calculation, we know that to obtain the concentration of 1 mmol / L, we need 990 mg to be in plasma. Since our absorption rate is 44%, to get the number of grams we need to ingest, 990 mg / .44 = 2.25 g...

    Lyle, glucosamine (again!) absorption ...

    Hi, edziu > 1 mmol/ml is a concentration, not a quantity. Yes, I know that. What I meant was _that_ was the concentration used to induce leptin. It doesn't matter anyways -- it seems I misread the abstract. The abstract was talking about in vitro experiment on _human_ adipocytes that...

    Lyle, glucosamine (again!) absorption ...

    Hi, Lyle Sorry for clubbing this dead horse to pulp, but ... just one last time. It seems that if one takes 1 g of glucosamine sulfate orally, about 11% fails to be absorbed by the digestive tract, 45% is metabolized by the liver, and the remaining 44% appears in the blood stream. So...

    liquid glucosamine -- better aborption?

    This is sort of a follow up from my earlier question about whether glucosamine can help raise leptin levels. There has been a number of PubMed abstracts which indicate that glucosamine can raise leptin levels via hexosamine pathway. My question was whether oral administration of glucosamine...

    beta3 and mm4 from syntrax

    Jon, I will be the guinea pig!! I will post my results too. BTW, there are a number of posts on Beta3 at Par Deus's website. www.avantlabs.com. Will let you know how it goes.

    beta3 and mm4 from syntrax

    Perhaps Beta3 by Syntrax does work!! Check out "Acute effect of L-796568, a novel beta 3-adrenergic receptor agonist, on energy expenditure in obese men." by van Baak MA, Hul GB, Toubro S, Astrup A, Gottesdiener KM, DeSmet M, Saris WH. Related Articles ==========================

    Topical Yohimbine and Leptin levels?

    Yes, and I have been applying the solution on my love handles like there is no tomorrow. For whopping 2 days, I have been inspecting my fat in the mirror. Quite gross, I must admit.

    Countering Insulin Desensitizers

    I am not lyle (to borrow Steve's phrase), but at least for CLA, the experiments (which I know about) for fat loss lasted about 3 - 6 months (using rats and humans). So, I'd assume it would take about 3 - 6 months of continuous intake of CLA to see some result.

    Topical Yohimbine and Leptin levels?

    It should drop leptin levels only to the extent that Lipoderm-Y causes "extra" fat burn. I am not sure if Lipoderm-Y causes excess fat burn; it just allows immobilization of fat from certaom areas of the body, no?

    4-ad-ec

    Cubano, are you stacking it with anything else? Are you worried that 4-ad will convert to estrogen and cause you to grow a pair of boobs? . Otherwise, I'd just do a continuous 6 week cycle on 4-ad (along with 1-ad). I have not heard many users complaining about the prolonged use of 4-ad...

    E/C and RMR

    Bump. I want to know too. Knowing this gives better idea of how many calories to eat.

    stimulation of leptin production

    Hi, Lars > You're sick! Did you imagine fat bastard playing with his > niples and telling you that he was sexy while you were a > loser ? That sounds WAY kinky - even for me. No, I did not imagine that -- thank god. BTW, I would like to take this opportunity to point out that you may...

    stimulation of leptin production

    Hi Spencer > haha, u seem so afraid of me! Come on, i wouldnt stalk you. The way you talk, you seem to suspect that I think of you as a gay stalker. Seriously, I am not being standoffish -- some folks are naturally more sociable than others. I am a bit of an introvert. Besides, you...

    stimulation of leptin production

    Hi, Spencer > Such a short reply! I did not know "shortness" really mattered. Wait, actually I did, but only in reference to things like height, pants, organs, etc. > We still got Lyle to talk about! That guy is great! Would like > to know about him. Got any information...

    stimulation of leptin production

    Yes, I am South Korean, living in the USA. And when Korean soccer team lost, I was pi@#$@#$. It was fun watching, even though thanks to Lars, I kept imagining "The Fat Bastard" telling me what a loser I am for watching spectator sports.

    1-AD and 4-AD cycle

    Hi Bob (1) That is something I have not observed too often. Most threads I have read indicate that 4-AD is stacked with 1-AD at the same time. (If I may speculate, even though 1-AD does not "kick in", it is probably still working -- so it makes sense 4-AD is used at the same time)...

    stimulation of leptin production

    Hi, Aaron I was excited about EPA for a moment, until I found other papers that seem to "contradict" the paper you cited. For example, "Reduction of leptin gene expression by dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids." Reseland JE, Haugen F, Hollung K, Solvoll K, Halvorsen B...
