Robert Lustig explains how reactive oxygen species inside cells may determine whether your body burns or stores energy. ROS changes can alter insulin release and metabolic state, and many obesogens work by generating these molecules.
The cell decides whether to burn energy or store it, or where to move it around inside the cell based on the redox potential within that cell at any given moment. So anything that changes that reactive oxygen species concentration within that cell is going to change the metabolic state of that cell. That's the idea. Everybody got it all right. Now, that.
Ultimately can influence what happens to calories, and it can also influence what happens to the pancreas in terms of whether it releases insulin or not.
This is.
Basically a.
Method for being.
Able to combine these two models into one. Obesogens.
Many of them.
Most of them, generate reactive oxygen species just by their very nature. And so obesogens.
