Methylglyoxal is simply a part of norma...Hi Debsk,<br /><br />Methylglyoxal is simply a part of normal metabolism which increases during fasting or LC eating. The fact it increases in ketosis was used to do a little Atkins bashing by some ethically challenged, grant seeking "scientists". This merely tells us something about those individuals.<br /><br />There is a considerable interest in ketogenic diets per se for cancer management and most of the studies look encouraging but are far from conclusive. I don't think there is any way ketosis can be bad, but I would certainly suggest that any ketogenic diet is utterly Food based. I think it is one of the circumstances where I might think of green leave vegetables as the source of carbohydrate to absolutely limit glucose and insulin excursions. And I'd severely limit omega 6 fats at the same time.<br /><br />Whether adding industrial doses of methylglyoxal is good or bad requires that you, and it will be you trying this, critically review the Indian papers and review articles. I've not looked for any other group corroborating their ideas, that needs doing too. From what I have read the results are encouraging. No one can ever have looked at the long term effects, so all bets are off there.<br /><br />The manuka honey effect requires that trace plant compounds are effective chemotherapeutics in humans when carried in an assortment of sugars. I have much more time for methylglyoxal.<br /><br />I realise that's not a lot of help but it's the current limit of my knowledge...<br /><br />I hope you do well<br /><br />PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527788116058656094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-56369966818120767722010-08-14T17:30:33.348+00:002010-08-14T17:30:33.348+00:00I'm confused is methylglyoxal a good thing or ...I'm confused is methylglyoxal a good thing or not?

If you are on a diet which requires insulin to make use of your caloric source, you need to be insulin sensitive. If you are on a diet which is not dependent on insulin you HAVE to become insulin resistant, methylgyoxal or palmitic acid do the job. I wonder if MG is a key switch in the same manner as palmitic acid?<br /><br />Even on a carb based diet you need something to switch off glycolysis when you have done something stupid with bagels and your tissues can't or don't want to cope with the hyperglycaemia...<br /><br />PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527788116058656094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-76240123278904826682009-12-08T10:33:32.410+00:002009-12-08T10:33:32.410+00:00I was going to write a Blog post containing some r...I was going to write a Blog post containing some random thoughts on MethylGlyoxal (MG) but a lot of those thoughts have been covered by the replies here, so I'll add them here.<br /><br />My cousin works in the field of bowel cancer and as of yesterday, she hadn't heard of MG and was unaware of the Indian studies. She has now! After she did a search on PubMed, she told me that a colleague of hers (un-named) had published a study on MG & Diabetes that showed that MG was a <b>bad</b> thing for diabetics. A light bulb suddenly turned on in my brain.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Food_and_recipes/Eating-well-with-Type-2-diabetes/About-carbohydrate/" rel="nofollow">Diabetes-UK (& ADA) dietary advice for diabetics</a> is to eat starchy carbs at every meal, aiming to get ~50% of total Calories from carbohydrate.<br /><br />As MG inhibits glycolysis in cells, uptake of Blood Glucose by cells decreases. Oh, look. Cells have become Insulin Resistant! As uptake of Blood Glucose decreases, Blood Glucose rises. Oh, look. Increased Advanced Glycation End-products! It's bleedin' obvious that, on a high-carb diet, MG is undesirable. It's a no-brainer that MG's undesirable effects diminish/vanish on a low-carb/keto diet, when you actually <b>want</b> cells to burn fatty acids/ketones rather than glucose.<br /><br />Cheers, Nige.Nigel Kinbrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368973941328529619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-54084328447792809692009-12-01T12:46:04.788+00:002009-12-01T12:46:04.788+00:00Yes, Ray's group really think they are on to s...Yes, Ray's group really think they are on to something.

Augmentation of the curative effect of methylglyoxal on cancer-bearing mice by ascorbic acid and creatine.<br /><br />Ghosh M, Talukdar D, Ghosh S, Bhattacharyya N, Ray M, Ray S.<br /><br />Department of Biological Chemistry, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Jadavpur, Kolkata-700 032, India.<br /><br />Previous in vivo studies from several laboratories had shown remarkable curative effect of methylglyoxal on cancer-bearing animals. In contrast, most of the recent in vitro studies have assigned a toxic role for methylglyoxal. The present study was initiated with the objective to resolve whether methylglyoxal is truly toxic in vivo and to reassess its therapeutic potential. Four species of animals, both rodent and non-rodent, were treated with different doses of methylglyoxal through oral, subcutaneous and intravenous routes. Acute (treatment for only 1 day) toxicity tests had been done with mouse and rat. These animals received 2, 1 and 0.3 g of methylglyoxal/kg of body weight in a day through oral, subcutaneous and intravenous routes respectively. Chronic (treatment for around a month) toxicity test had been done with mouse, rat, rabbit and dog. Mouse, rat and dog received 1, 0.3 and 0.1 g of methylglyoxal/kg of body weight in a day through oral, subcutaneous and intravenous routes respectively. Rabbit received 0.55, 0.3 and 0.1 g of methylglyoxal/kg of body weight in a day through oral, subcutaneous and intravenous routes respectively. It had been observed that methylglyoxal had no deleterious effect on the physical and behavioral pattern of the treated animals. Fertility and teratogenecity studies were done with rats that were subjected to chronic toxicity tests. It had been observed that these animals produced healthy litters indicating no damage of the reproductive systems as well as no deleterious effect on the offspring. Studies on several biochemical and hematological parameters of methylglyoxal-treated rats and dogs and histological studies of several organs of methylglyoxal-treated mouse were performed. These studies indicated that methylglyoxal had no apparent deleterious effect on some vital organs of these animals. A detailed pharmacokinetic study was done with mouse after oral administration of methylglyoxal. The effect of methylglyoxal alone and in combination with creatine and ascorbic acid on cancer-bearing animals had been investigated by measuring the increase in life span and tumor cell growth inhibition. The results indicated that anticancer effect of methylglyoxal was significantly augmented by ascorbic acid and further augmented by ascorbic acid and creatine. Nearly 80% of the animals treated with methylglyoxal plus ascorbic acid plus creatine were completely cured and devoid of any malignant cells within the peritoneal cavity.<br /><br />PMID: 16112157Alan2102https://www.blogger.com/profile/03077725184637352859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-7756048237402123462009-12-01T12:19:25.099+00:002009-12-01T12:19:25.099+00:00for your reading pleasure....

Through these enzymes, it is intimately linked to several other physiologically important metabolites, suggesting that methylglyoxal has some important role to play in the host organism. Several in vitro and in vivo studies showed that methylglyoxal acts specifically against different types of malignant cells. These studies culminated in a recent investigation to evaluate a methylglyoxal-based formulation in treating a small group of cancer patients, and the results were promising. Methylglyoxal acts against a number of pathogenic microorganisms. However, recent literature abounds with the toxic effects of methylglyoxal, which are supposed to be mediated through methylglyoxal-derived advanced glycation end products (AGE). Many diseases such as diabetes, cataract formation, hypertension, and uremia are proposed to be intimately linked with methylglyoxal-derived AGE. However methylglyoxal-derived AGE formation and subsequent pathogenesis might be a very minor event because AGE are nonspecific reaction products that are derived through the reactions of carbonyl groups of reducing sugars with amino groups present in the side chains of lysine and arginine and in terminal amino groups of proteins. Moreover, the results of some in vitro experiments with methylglyoxal under non-physiological conditions were extrapolated to the in vivo situation. Some experiments even showed contradictory results and were differently interpreted. For this reason conclusions about the potential beneficial effects of methylglyoxal have often been neglected, thus hindering the advancement of medical science and causing some confusion in fundamental understanding. Overall, the potential beneficial effects of methylglyoxal far outweigh its possible toxic role in vivo, and it should be utilized for the benefit of suffering humanity.<br /><br />PMID: 19916918Alan2102https://www.blogger.com/profile/03077725184637352859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-4258075018300972122009-11-18T14:34:29.223+00:002009-11-18T14:34:29.223+00:00Peter -

I'll see what I can do!<br /><br />Willismorse,<br /><br />Yes, I listened to the interview. It was very hard to tell where data blends in to opinion. All of us do this. But a 7 day fast would be a bit serious for me with a BMI just over 20. I got the impression that he was suggesting the SAD with an annual housekeeping fast might do it. But some of us are not on the SAD and would loose a serious amount of weight on a ketogenic fast. As with so many aspects there is just no database for humans on a weight stable near ketogenic diet...<br /><br />I've posted my opinion as to why a ketogenic diet elevates FBG in some people under the physiological insulin resistance posts. I have trouble tying that in to elevated gluconeogenesis, though it's always possible. Actually the next post does need fitting in with this, as does what factors determine the body's preferred set point for glucose, which will undoubtedly be a CNS decision.<br /><br />ET and Diana, yes 185mg/dl to 100mg/dl is (relatively!) easy. 100 to 86 (Berstein's target) is altogether another matter and you have to ask how necessary this is...<br /><br />Ross, methylglyoxal holds no fears for those who have enjoyed tripping on IV doxrubicin and/or cysplatin. I agree it may be bad in industrial doses, and we would need other groups to look at it as a therapy, but there is some logic to its use. Most traditional chemo seems to work by inducing apoptosis in cells which cannot protect themselves from free radicals generated by the agent in use... Methylglyoxal may be different.<br /><br />Glycation => AGE's => accelerated aging (expect in Naked mole-rats).<br /><br />Theo and Bryce, Jenny takes this report seriously. I noticed Peter Clifton was an author and immediately thought very uncharitable thoughts about it. Seriously, Jenny does have a point, assuming there is no falsification of the data. A moderately large research group makes this difficult but not impossible to do. I will now go and wash out my mouth with soap and water.

In hyperglycemia it seems to kill normal healthy cells but in "normoglycemia hyperglycolytic states" it kills forming cancer cells. That happens only when glycolysis leads to increased MG concentration and if it doesn't we have a tumour.<br /><br />In carcinogenesis too little MG is bad news and atleast some plant derived polyphenols may act as a anticarcinogenic substances through inhibiting MG clearance and thus letting MG concentration to increase. Increasing MG effects intracellular ATP levels which may activate respiration. After that abnormal cell will be thrown in the waste basket.

Methylglyoxal ...-----------------------------------<br />Methylglyoxal (MG) is a metabolite of glucose. Our previous study demonstrated an elevated MG level with an increased oxidative stress in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from spontaneously hypertensive rats. Whether MG causes the generation of nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide anion (O2*-), leading to peroxynitrite (ONOO-) formation in VSMCs, was investigated in the present study. Cultured rat thoracic aortic SMCs (A-10) were treated with MG or other different agents. Oxidized DCF, reflecting H2O2 and ONOO- production, was significantly increased in a concentration- and time-dependent manner after the treatment of SMCs with MG (3-300 microM) for 45 min-18 h (n = 12). MG-increased oxidized DCF was effectively blocked by reduced glutathione or N-acetyl-l-cysteine, as well as L-NAME (p < 0.05, n = 12). Both O2*- scavenger SOD and NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor DPI significantly decreased MG-induced oxidized DCF formation. MG significantly and concentration-dependently increased NO and O2*- generation in A-10 cells, which was significantly inhibited by L-NAME and SOD or DPI, respectively. In conclusion, MG induces significant generation of NO and O2*- in rat VSMCs, which in turn causes ONOO- formation. An elevated MG level and the consequential ROS/RNS generation would alter cellular signaling pathways, contributing to the development of different insulin resistance states such as diabetes or hypertension<br />------------------------------<br /><br />Oh look.

Dr Seyfried is of the opinion that the supposed benefits of ketogenic diets really derive from transient drops in glucose, not necessarily from the ketones themselves. For this reason, extended ad-lib ketogenic eating is just as bad as high-carb eating because gluconeogenesis will result in high glucose levels. "As I have clearly written in my articles, 'more is not better' when it comes to eating the ketogenic diet for either epilepsy or brain cancer."<br /><br />He says a range of 65-75 mg/dl glucose is required to see the benefits, at least in the case of epilepsy. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/content/1/1/11" rel="nofollow">Management of multifactorial idiopathic epilepsy in EL mice with caloric restriction and the ketogenic diet: role of glucose and ketone bodies</a> seems to indicate that mice fed an unrestricted ketogenic diet had more susceptibility to epileptic seizures than those fed a calorie-restricted standard diet. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.nature.com/bjc/journal/v89/n7/full/6601269a.html" rel="nofollow">Role of glucose and ketone bodies in the metabolic control of experimental brain cancer</a> seems to say similar things in the context of brain cancer.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.nature.com/bjc/journal/v89/n7/fig_tab/6601269t1.html#figure-title" rel="nofollow">This chart,</a> for instance, shows the unrestricted ketogenic diet producing a higher glucose level after 10 weeks than the unrestricted standard diet. Huh?<br /><br />All sorts of question come to mind, such as how long it takes a mouse to keto-adapt, what's really in that commercial ketochow, and does this in really apply to people at all?<br /><br />Also, Don, your <a href="http://donmatesz.blogspot.com/2009/10/paleodiet-and-polio-virus.html" rel="nofollow">recent entry on Dr Sandler's research on lowcarb diets and polio </a> seems relevant. We have to stay at 100 mg/dL to get protection from infectious diseases, but we have to get below 75 mg/dL to be protected from cancer? Seems kind of hard to reconcile.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12849473482956653174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-50203500262983728662009-11-12T19:09:51.933+00:002009-11-12T19:09:51.933+00:00My take-out from this ...

Thanks for another great post. I'd ...Hey Peter<br /><br />Thanks for another great post. I'd love to see more of your thoughts on the "dangers" of ketosis, since I am in that state most of the time. Can't find much so far that scares me. Do yo think JK's concerns are valid?
