Learn About Abdominal Obesity Metabolic Syndrome

What is the definition of Abdominal Obesity Metabolic Syndrome?
Abdominal obesity metabolic syndrome is a disease that is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors characterized by a clustering of insulin resistance, high levels of insulin, abnormal blood fats (lipids), high blood pressure, abdominal obesity, glucose intolerance or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, and an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events. There are different types of abdominal obesity metabolic syndrome, such as abdominal obesity metabolic syndrome 1 or 4. Factors that influence the development of abdominal obesity metabolic syndrome include age, smoking, alcohol, diet, and physical inactivity. Abdominal obesity metabolic syndrome occurs most often in Mexican American women.

Ketone Ester Effects on Biomarkers of Brain Metabolism and Cognitive Performance in Cognitively Intact Adults Greater Than or Equal to 55 Years Old. A Double-Blinded Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Background: In Alzheimer s disease (AD) the brain cannot use glucose as a fuel. The brain can use ketones as a fuel instead of glucose. Researchers want to test a supplement, Ketone Ester (KE). It may improve brain metabolic function and cognition in normal people and, perhaps, down the road, in patients with AD.
