It took 2 days of fasting to increase myostatin levels significantly, 1 day of fasting did not affect myostatin.

Eating Animal Adipose Tissue
http://vimeo.com/10533993
Bacteria ferment plant material into short chain fatty acids.
Barry mentions how prized fatty meat was in our past. So lets all eat more animal adipose tissue, something that so rarely happens these times.

Adaption : Reminder to myself
Your bodies metabolism will ultimately adjust to whatever diet your consuming. Regardless of macronutrient content.
To break a weight loss plateau, change from high protein to high fat or vice versa if you was doing the other. Always try to keep it ketogenic however!

Body Fat Set Point
Muscle is controlled by the protein myostatin. Your expression of myostatin is genetic. Therefore your set point of musculature is also primarily genetic.
You can change how much muscle you have by doing exercise, your body compensates by building more muscle. Or you can lower muscle mass by being extremely sedentary. This change in activity must be maintained, for once it is abandoned, you slowly but surely go back to your muscle "setpoint".
Bone density is essentially the same. Bone will change its mass and density dynamically, depending on what happens to it.
So is adipose tissue size the same as the analogy above? Is there really a fundamental genetically determined setpoint controlled by some mysterious gene or protein.

Going to bed in a insulin sensitive state
Im still intrigued by the study posted recently were lean subjects got a spike in ghrelin during sleeping hours and obese subjects didnt.
In the study, the subjects were eating high carb meals all day, in the last 2 meals they had a blunted response to ghrelin, suggesting that they may be insulin resistent at this point. Going to bed in an insulin resistent state is perhaps not sufficient to make a ghrelin response becuase ghrelin itself will cause a kind of physiological insulin resistence so that we can switch to FFA for fuel.
This is just trial and error and speculation at the moment, tomorrow I will look for more studies to piece together the puzzle of ghrelin.

High Intensity Exercise boosts Adiponectin
http://jcem.endojournals.org/cgi/content/full/90/11/5970
Their definition of high intensity exercise is 80-85% of 1RM. 3 Sets of each exercise were performed with 6 mins rest between!
Thats alot of rest, but then again the subjects were elderly.
Adiponectin was raised for 24hrs following this.
