Ketone bodies as signaling metabolites
*non sequiter* One of the ways dietary carbohydrate contributes to liver fat is via ChREBP: “carbohydrate-response element binding protein.” It responds to a glucose metabolite and activates transcription of lipogenic genes.

Carb Back-Loading, take II
Brief refresher: skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity is higher in the morning than in the evening. Exercise boosts insulin sensitivity selectively in muscle, which is relatively more important in the evening.
