New Discoveries in Diabetes Suggest Novel Ways to Treat, Delay the Disease

A recent study has underlined the utter genius of HPC-UK programs, let’s look at the findings first before basking in self-ladled praise.

The study has identified that acetylcholine; a very important neurotransmitter that I’ve written many times about, is used by the body to inform the beta cells of your pancreas (the cells that release Insulin), to perform their function. Acetylcholine is usually studied in regard to memory, but has a vast range of functions throughout the body.

The Study found that if Acetylcholine metabolism is dysfunctional then the pancreas can no longer respond to changes in blood glucose (Sugar), which generally manifests as Diabetes, but can cause lots of problems before this point, such as increased fat deposition, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, increased risk of Cancer, increased risk of Cardiovascular Disease, and many, many more.

The acetylcholine is released by the alpha cells of the pancreas in response to low blood glucose levels. Low blood glucose is a threat to the body, which indicates a period of famine or starvation, therefore the body makes preparations to store whatever energy containing nutrients come into the body as a buffer for lean times.

When either the acetylcholine or insulin metabolism becomes dysfunctional the body can no longer regulate, principally glucose levels, but, in reality it has a knock-on effect on every single function in the body.

So, studies are being planned to test the hypothesis that supporting acetylcholine metabolism may theoretically be able to re-awaken the beta cells of the pancreas and therefore go part way in reversing Diabetes.

For those interested in fat loss, muscle gain, sports performance, manipulation of this system will drastically amplify the results of your training and nutritional efforts.

Every single nutritional program HPC-UK creates, acknowledges and supports the Acetylcholine system as a foundational component.
