Ulter, Macro, anyone else, nootropic effect?? What does that mean?

[biogeared]

Just got my liporexin in the mail... I look forward to using, in fact I just took my first one a few minutes ago.

What does nootropic effect mean though??

Thanks guys.

mind enhancing..

several of the ingredients, in particular Acetyl-l-carnitine, Acetyl-l-tyrosine and DMAE, improve neurological function and neurotansmitter levels.

Well shit, thats awesome then. Thanks.

Just FYI, the acetyl-L-carnitine is metabolized to carnitine which is used in the carnitine shuttle system to allow mitochondria to transport fatty acids into the matrix for beta-oxidation and thus production of energy from the resulting acetyl-CoA. This can also lead to an excess of Ac-CoA which can be put into gluconeogenesis (the synthesis of glucose from non-sugar precursors). Because the brain and neurons use glucose as their exclusive fuel (unless you go ketotic, in which case they can use ketone bodies such as acetoacetyl-CoA), this helps improve brain function. In theory, at least. It seems likely though.

Acetly-L-Tyrosine can be used as a precursor for thyroid hormones T3 and T4 (triiodo- and tetraiodothyronine), as well as epinephrine. This would serve to improve metabolism as well as brain function, as epinephrine puts your mind on a state of alert to a certain extent.

DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol) is a carrier of and acetyl moiety which can be trans-acetylated on to choline to form the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. How that improves nerve/brain function should be relatively obvious...

I don't know if anyone cares, but I like getting these side-notes in. When you guys talk gear and cycles, I feel like the noob (which I am, to an extent)... but when you guys talk biochemistry, well, that's the area in which I'm doing my doctoral studies at present.

Nice to know there is some science behind it. Thanks Dr. M.

 

[Dr. M]

No problem, bro... I like to help out some of the bros who ask about MY area of expertise, since I can always count on answers from THEIR expertise.

Tell you what Doc, there are several of us who love discussing biomchemical processes.......your insite is much appreciated, give it when you can! There have been a few good threads on DNP and C75 and others where you would feel right at home....
Im constantly looking for the best way to cut the remaining fat i have left, and ive used a shitload of things including DNP (oustanding stuff in my opinion) and still its hard for me even with good diet and lifting (cardio doesnt do shit for me). You probly posess a greater knowledge of metabolic pathways than a lot, so you can help a lot.

Synaptic clefts without acetylcholine just aint cool.....

bigrand -

I'll keep pumping out the info as long as you guys keep holding this noob's hand while he learns the ropes of his gear

Thanks for the pat on the back - feels good to know that some on the board really enjoy the biochemistry of gear as well as the effects...

Regards,

Thanks Dr. M.. Always nice to hear the science behind stuff. That's why it's a pleasure hearing stuff from Fonz and Macro.

We are nowhere without understanding at least some of the biochemistry.....without it, there would be no gear anyway.
Learn how the body works, then learn how to manipulate it to ahcieve the desired results.
