Starvation-induced metabolic rewiring affects mTORC1 composition in vivo by Edgar Kaade, Simone Mausbach, Nina Erps, Marc Sylvester, Farhad Shakeri, Ron D. Jachimowicz, Volkmar Gieselmann, Melanie Thelen

“…We verified starvation-induced catabolism by weight loss, ketone body production, drop in blood glucose and an increase of 3-methylhistidine. Deactivation of mTORC1 in vivo after short-term starvation causes a depletion of mTORC1 and the associated Ragulator complex in hepatic lysosomes, resulting in diminished phosphorylation of mTORC1 target proteins. …”

Long-Term Effect of Mediterranean-Style Diet and Calorie Restriction on Biomarkers of Longevity and Oxidative Stress in Overweight Men by Katherine Esposito, Carmen Di Palo, Maria Ida Maiorino, Michela Petrizzo, Giuseppe Bellastella, Isabella Siniscalchi, Dario Giugliano

“…After 2 years, there was a significant difference in weight loss between groups, which was −14 kg (95% CI −20 to −8) in lifestyle groups and −2.0 kg (−4.4 to 0) in the advice groups, with a difference of −11.9 kg (CI −19 to −4.7 kg, 𝑃<.001); moreover, there was a significant difference between groups at 2 years for insulin (𝑃=.04), 8-iso-PGF2α (𝑃=.037), glucose (𝑃=.04), and adiponectin (𝑃=.01). Prolonged adherence to a Mediterranean-style diet, with or without caloric restriction, in overweight or obese men is associated with significant amelioration of multiple risk factors, including a better cardiovascular risk profile, reduced oxidative stress, and improved insulin sensitivity.…”
