Robert Lustig: Food consumption alters mitochondrial ROS, impacting adiposity and metabolic outcomes
Robert Lustig (spoken in a recorded talk) states that food consumption alters mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cellular redox state, which in turn affects multiple organs to promote nutrient storage and adiposity. Specifically, increased mitochondrial ROS/redox changes can trigger pancreatic insulin secretion to clear nutrients, alter brain circuits to reduce food intake, and suppress liver gluconeogenesis — collectively favoring nutrient storage. Lustig also asserts that redox regulators influence the liver, gut, brain, fat cells, and pancreas and that redox alterations have been shown to change organ physiology to promote adiposity.
