A., Morris, J., Don, A. S., Garfield, A., Zarini, S., Zemski Berry, K. A., Ryan, A. P., Bergman, B. C., Brozinick, J. T., James, D. E., Burchfield, J. G. Abstract: Insulin resistance (IR) is a complex metabolic disorder that underlies several human diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Despite extensive research, the precise mechanisms underlying IR development remain poorly understood. Here, we provide new insights into the mechanistic connections between cellular alterations associated with IR, including increased ceramides, deficiency of coenzyme Q (CoQ), mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress. We demonstrate that elevated levels of ceramide in the mitochondria of skeletal muscle cells results in CoQ depletion and loss of mitochondrial respiratory chain components, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and IR. Further, decreasing mitochondrial ceramide levels in vitro and in animal models increased CoQ levels and was protective against IR. CoQ supplementation also rescued ceramide-associated IR. Examination of the mitochondrial proteome from human muscle biopsies revealed a strong correlation between the respirasome system and mitochondrial ceramide as key determinants of insulin sensitivity. Our findings highlight the mitochondrial Ceramide-CoQ-respiratory chain nexus as a potential foundation of an IR pathway that may also play a critical role in other conditions associated with ceramide accumulation and mitochondrial dysfunction, such as heart failure, cancer, and aging. These insights may have important clinical implications for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of IR and related metabolic disorders.

Bill Astore is a historian for peace and a prolific writer for TomDispatch, Huff Post, Alternet, Antiwar.com, and many others including his own Bracing Views and Word Press on substack. He is a retired AF Lt. Col and retired professor of history at the AF Academy and technical school in Pennsylvania. Today he shares his insights into US War Culture, the military and the lack of integrity, militarism in sports, evangelism at the AF Academy, guns in schools, and more.

Scott talks with William Astore about an article he penned recently in TomDispatch about the inner rot plaguing today's U.S. military. Astore, who served as a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force, has observed an existential flaw that threatens the military from within — lies are rewarded while truthtellers are punished. In this interview, he and Scott take a step back and examine how this sprawling government bureaucracy has hijacked the noble instinct to protect one's community and used it to wage unjust wars of choice.  Discussed on the show: “Integrity Optional” (TomDispatch) We Meant Well by Peter Van Buren The Fog of War William J.

Escuchá la palabra del Presidente de Newell´s sobre los rumores de Munúa

Professor Nicolai Petro, professor of political science at the University of Rhode Island specializing in Ukraine and Russia, joins us to discuss the virtual meeting between the Russian and Chinese leaders. Chinese President Xi JinPing and Russian President Vladimir Putin attended a virtual meeting in which they discussed mutual security threats. Robert Fantina, journalist and Palestine activist, joins us to discuss Iran. A Responsible Statecraft article argues that President Biden's attempt to appease the hard-line Israelis has failed because they are fundamentally opposed to any detente between the US and Iran. Also, the US is allegedly preparing alternatives for when the JCPOA talks fail. Dr. Linwood Tauheed, associate professor of economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, joins us to discuss troubles in the Biden administration. One year in, the President is facing dismal poll numbers and a vice-presidential public relations disaster. Also, the left flank of the democrat party is upset because the President has failed to keep virtually any of his campaign promises, the economy is flailing, and his foreign policy is dangerously drifting towards multiple conflicts. Ted Rall, political cartoonist and syndicated columnist, joins us to discuss voting rights. Over 200 members of the Democratic caucus are coming together to press the president to push for the passage of the voting rights bill. Many are asking that the Senate delay holiday recess as a pressure tactic on those who oppose the legislation. Laith Marouf, broadcaster and journalist based in Beirut, joins us to discuss the Middle East. Another Lebanese official has spoken out in opposition to the Saudi-led war on Yemen. Also, Naftali Bennett is backing Israel's shoot to kill policy towards Palestinian civilians. Dan Kovalik, writer, author, and lawyer, joins us to discuss the Global South. Through its reckless use of economic sanctions, the US is pushing Nicaragua and other nations in the Global South to ally with China and Russia. Also, Honduras seems to be breaking free from US hegemony and might be the next nation to look Eastward for economic partners. Dr. David Oulaalou, author and international security analyst, joins us to discuss Russia-China relations. Russia and China have announced that they are coming together to create a new financial system that is outside of the purview of the US empire. This appears to be a move to bypass the Biden Administration's threats to disconnect adversaries from the SWIFT international payment system. William J. Astore, retired lieutenant USAF colonel and a senior fellow at the Eisenhower Media Network, joins us to discuss US military spending. Our hosts talk with William Astore about his new article regarding the "mushroom cloud" of military spending. Astore looks at recent failures in US foreign policy and examines how military spending has increased regardless of the outcomes of the myriad of military engagements that the US empire is prosecuting.

Laith Marouf, broadcaster and journalist based in Beirut, Lebanon, joins us to discuss Iran. Iran's new president, Ebrahim Raisi, is known as a conservative hardliner with close ties to the Islamic Republic's Supreme Leader. Described by outside observers as a hardliner, Raisi has already stated that he does not intend to sign off on a nuclear deal unless it serves the interests of Iran.Ted Rall, political cartoonist and syndicated columnist, joins us to discuss the media. An enlightening Washington Post article featured a picture of newspaper owner Jeff Bezos and argues that it is wrong to raise taxes on billionaires. Also, Robert Reich argues that the US's biggest enemy is not China, but the drift towards proto-fascism. Reich also explores the US history of blaming outside entities for our own shortcomings. Mark Sleboda, Moscow-based international relations security analyst, joins us to talk about Russia. The US is preparing another list of sanctions against Russia, this time regarding a convicted embezzler named Alexei Navalny. Also, US civil rights observers are arguing that the focus on Navalny should be ditched and refocused on the many people who are languishing in prison in the US for minor drug crimes. Currently, a Louisiana father of seven is serving over 13 years in jail for approximately one gram of marijuana. Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst and co-founder of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, joins us to discuss his latest article about US-Russia relations. Ray argues that President Biden's foreign policy team is woefully misinformed in their quest to break the strategic partnership between Russia and China. Also, Ray discusses President Putin's comment regarding lightning flashes of trust between him and the US president. William J. Astore, retired lieutenant USAF colonel and a senior fellow at the Eisenhower Media Network, joins us to discuss his latest article. Lieutenant Astore discusses the myriad of military failures experienced by the United States over the last several decades, and warns that a continuance of the current foreign policy track will guarantee similar outcomes in future endeavors.KJ, Noh, writer and peace activist, joins us to discuss China. Armin Laschet, the current frontrunner to succeed German Chancellor Angela Merkel, has stated that he opposes a cold war against China. Mr. Laschet also called for western states to cool tensions with Russia, insisting they must “establish a sensible relationship” with Moscow.Danny Shaw, professor of Latin studies, joins us to discuss Venezuela. President Biden has rejected calls for stopping the draconian sanctions against Venezuela. Also, a bilateral meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, June 22, between the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Jorge Arreaza Montserrat, and his counterpart from the Russian Federation, Foreign Affairs Minister Sergey Lavrov.Scott Ritter, former UN weapon inspector in Iraq, joins us to discuss NATO. Quincy Institute president Andrew Bacevich's new book, "After the Apocalypse,'' argues that the US needs to make several radical foreign policy changes, starting with ending all involvement with NATO. Also, Jeremy Kuzmarov argues that President Biden's current foreign policy plans to increase military spending in NATO will increase the odds of war.

Dan Cohen, filmmaker and writer for the Gray Zone Project, joins us to discuss Israel. Dan argues that Israel's pogroms could spark the destruction of the Al-Aqsa mosque by Israeli radicals. Also, he talks about the deadly attacks on Gaza and the future of the conflict.Wyatt Reed, Sputnik producer and writer, joins us to discuss Colombia. Wyatt is in Colombia covering the massive protests and government violence. The Colombian people have taken to the streets to oppose neoliberal economic policies. A temporary lull in the protests creates a false sense of security as citizens prepare for a national strike.Mark Sleboda, Moscow-based international relations security analyst, joins us to discuss Ukraine. Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky continues with his unhinged militaristic rhetoric, as he argues that World War III could come from escalated tension between his nation and Russia.William J. Astore, retired lieutenant USAF colonel and a senior fellow at the Eisenhower Media Network, joins us to discuss the US' forever wars. In his latest article, "War Is Strictly Business in Twenty-First Century America," Lt. Col. Astore discusses the many political and economic issues that create an environment for continuous war in modern America.Piers Robinson, co-director of the Organization for Propaganda Studies, joins us to discuss the White Helmets. The Dutch government investigated fraud with the shadowy UK intelligence-related organization, but covered up the evidence of corruption.Nicholas Davies, peace activist and author of "Blood on Our Hands: The American Invasion of Iraq," joins us to discuss Syria. The US and Turkey are involved in attacks on sovereign Syrian soil, along with the theft of wheat and oil. Also, Russian and Syrian allied forces have been experiencing major success in fighting Islamic jihadist groups. George Koo, journalist, social activist, international business consultant, and chemical engineer, joins us to discuss China. Former Assistant Secretary of State Chas Freeman argues that the US has no long-term plan in their frantic moves to counter China's technological and economic advances. He argues that the trade war is counterproductive and damaging to both sides.Ted Rall, political cartoonist and syndicated columnist, joins us to talk about domestic politics. The GOP is facing down a significant internal battle, as House leadership works to remove power from Liz Cheney. Also, progressives push the Biden team to take a stance regarding Israel's aggressive actions against Palestinians.

Dr. Clarence Lusane, author, activist and political science professor at Howard University, returns to talk about the recent reports about last week's protest in Washington, DC. An internal government document reveals that the FBI had foreknowledge of the potential for violence at the Capitol Hill protests, the Washington Post reported Tuesday. According to the outlet, the FBI's office in Norfolk, Virginia, reported that it was aware of calls for violence in response to "unlawful lockdowns," and the office sent the information to FBI officials in the capital within 45 minutes of receiving it on January 5.Dr. Yolandra Hancock, board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine specialist joins us to talk about the latest news regarding the coronavirus pandemic. Another record was set Tuesday as over 4,400 people died of COVID-19 in the US, according to a New York Times Tally. The US currently has the highest death toll in the world and is rapidly approaching 400,000 fatalities. We discuss the action that needs to be taken as a new Congress and presidential administration come to power. Julie Hurwitz, civil rights attorney and partner at the law firm Goodman, Hurwitz and James, joins us to discuss the latest in the Flint, Michigan, water crisis. Former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and a number of former state officials that were involved in the Flint water crisis will reportedly be indicted. The 2014 crisis led to at least 12 deaths and dozens of illnesses in the predominantly Black city where lead levels in water remain abnormally high to this day.KJ Noh, peace activist, writer and teacher, joins us to discuss China's interests in Afghanistan. China has had issues with Islamic terrorism and therefore has some concerns because of its proximity to Afghanistan. China has publicly endorsed the US removal of troops from Afghanistan but is also keeping a close eye on the dynamics created by the withdrawal. The Asian nation has a significant Muslim population and has experienced some level of participation in terrorism and extremism among that group. Nino Pagliccia, who has two master's degrees from Stanford University and is a retired researcher on Canada-Cuba collaborative projects at the University of British Columbia, returns to the show to discuss Latin America's response to last week's Capitol Hill protest. Additionally, Pagliccia discusses his extensive research and reporting on Canada's involvement in US regime-change maneuvers in Central and South America. William J. Astore, retired US Air Force lieutenant colonel who has taught at the Air Force Academy and the Naval Postgraduate School, and now teaches history at the Pennsylvania College of Technology, joins us to discuss his latest article. Astore argues that we are all prisoners of war because militarism has become deeply embedded in American life. He comes on to discuss what it will take to free America from a cultural paradigm of endless war.Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst and co-founder of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, joins us to discuss US President-elect Joe Biden's selection for CIA chief. McGovern asks whether diplomat William Burns will be able to change the culture at Langley and not be subsumed by it. Adam Eidinger, Washington, DC, cannabis activist, joins us to discuss cannabis legalization. Mexico is in the process of creating the largest legal cannabis market in the world. Meanwhile, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is arguing that cannabis legalization will raise significant funds to help address the budget shortfall caused by the pandemic.

For the solstice, the sun tunnels in the West Desert of Utah. Stories about going to war come from the top down, from media corporations that manufacture consent for war among the people. Stories about not going to war move from the bottom up, starting in conversations between family and friends, people speaking out for no money but just because they feel obligated to speak. In this approach there’s a shift in context where fear is taken out of the narrative—we are not being attacked, maybe these people are not our enemy. Maybe the real enemy is our government and our media that are being controlled by the military industrial complex. I believe bottom up stories can break apart the power structure coming down from above, so this is one of them. Donate Scott Carrier and William J. Astore on the house raft in Woods Hole Harbor.

On this week's podcast I'm joined by MeatEater colleagues Ryan Callaghan, Janis Putelis and Sam Lungren. We sat down in our offices for an editorial meeting of sorts to review the most recent hunting scandal in the mainstream media. We're using the new MeatEater Scandal Assessment Chart to help determine the validity of the national media coverage and the anti-hunting outrage when a Texas banking executive paid $110,000 to kill a Astore markhor in Pakistan.   Connect with Ben and MeatEater Ben on Instagram MeatEater on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube Shop MeatEater Merch See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show features two great guests. Author, writer extraordinaire, and friend of the podcast "Champion" Joe Lansdale stops by to share his thoughts on Donald Trump's winning the White House, if Trump's voters are stupid, ignorant, racist or all three, and updates us on Season Two of Hap and Leonard on SundanceTV. William Astore is the second guest on this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. He is a history professor and retired Air Force Lt. Colonel. Astore is also a contributor to TomDispatch, The Nation, Truthout, and PomfThe Huffington Post where he writes about military affairs and international relations.  In this week's episode of the podcast William and Chauncey talk about Donald Trump's "foreign policy", our shared love of Star Wars and science fiction, what it was like to be stationed at Cheyenne Mountain during the Cold War, and what real national security would look like in the United States.  During this week's podcast Chauncey comes out of his media detox post-Trump period of reflection and mourning, reads a letter from someone who will be personally impacted by Trump's meanness and fascism, makes a public promise, and shares some wisdom from the political theorist and philosopher Sheldon Wolin. Chauncey also discovers a new favorite animal friend--the echidna.

Coming to you a bit later than I'd planned (bad head cold + some Jessica Jones bingeing is a deadly combination for this podcaster, apparently), here is my episode discussion of the recent Zygon 2-parter. This was definitely one of my more personal episodes and certainly most political (which is admittedly odd to me), but then since the story was very political itself, I suppose it was somewhat hard to avoid? Oh, and this was also recorded before the recent Paris attacks, so any similarities to such discussions are entirely coincidental. In this episode, I discuss identity politics (especially when it comes to Osgood), Zygons in the closet (likely not what you think), the awesomeness that is Jenna Coleman and Peter Capaldi, and revisiting the classic 'Terror of the Zygons'. Also included is some Harry Sullivan love, random music interjections, gratuitous skating references, some podcasting shout-outs, and probably way more than you ever needed to know about how I punch my Queer Card. Also, many coughs were sacrificed to the cutting room floor, but I still managed to come off sounding quite a bit gravely again due to my sore throat. So, anyway, I hope you all will join me for my review and discussion of both 'The Zygon Invasion' and 'The Zygon Inversion'. And, as always, glad to have you all aboard. Enjoy the ride!

Larry Rodgers and Independent Gospel Rapper C-Micah about their collaborative effort to educate and edify on the plight of fathers in our society. Why is there no support for fathers to take their place as heads of households and leaders of their children? Do women take responsibility for their part in 'baby momma/baby daddy' drama? Does the legal system empower fathers to be more responsible or emasculate them through fines and legal proceedings? How can we combat all of these barriers to productive fathers? Join the discuss on RESCUED NATION RADIO. Share this information below: There is no question that children who grow up in fatherless homes have a much greater risk of major challenges in life than those who grow up with a father at home. These statistics are alarming and should give any father pause. Incarceration Rates. "Young men who grow up in homes without fathers are twice as likely to end up in jail as those who come from traditional two-parent families...those boys whose fathers were absent from the household had double the odds of being incarcerated -- even when other factors such as race, income, parent education and urban residence were held constant." (Cynthia Harper of the University of Pennsylvania and Sara S. McLanahan of Princeton University cited in "Father Absence and Youth Incarceration." Journal of Research on Adolescence 14 (September 2004): 369-397.) Suicide. 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (Source: What Can the Federal Government Do To Decrease Crime and Revitalize Communities? - see link below) Behavioral Disorders. 85% of all children that exhibit behavioral disorders come from fatherless homes (Source: What Can the Federal Government Do To Decrease Crime and Revitalize Communities? - see link below) High School Dropouts. 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes (Source: What Can the Federal Government Do To Decrease Crime and Revitalize Communities? - see link below) Educational Attainment. Kids living in single-parent homes or in step-families report lower educational expectations on the part of their parents, less parental monitoring of school work, and less overall social supervision than children from intact families. (N.M. Astore and S. McLanahan, American Sociological Review, No. 56 (1991) Juvenile Detention Rates. 70% of juveniles in state-operated institutions come from fatherless homes (Source: What Can the Federal Government Do To Decrease Crime and Revitalize Communities? - see link below) Confused Identities. Boys who grow up in father-absent homes are more likely that those in father-present homes to have trouble establishing appropriate sex roles and gender identity.(P.L. Adams, J.R. Milner, and N.A. Schrepf, Fatherless Children, New York, Wiley Press, 1984). Aggression. In a longitudinal study of 1,197 fourth-grade students, researchers observed "greater levels of aggression in boys from mother-only households than from boys in mother-father households." (N. Vaden-Kierman, N. Ialongo, J. Pearson, and S. Kellam, "Household Family Structure and Children's Aggressive Behavior: A Longitudinal Study of Urban Elementary School Children," Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology 23, no. 5 (1995). Achievement. Children from low-income, two-parent families outperform students from high-income, single-parent homes. Almost twice as many high achievers come from two-parent homes as one-parent homes. (One-Parent Families and Their Children, Charles F. Kettering Foundation, 1990). Delinquency. Only 13 percent of juvenile delinquents come from families in which the biological mother and father are married to each other. By contract, 33 percent have parents who are either divorced or separated and 44 percent have parents who were never married. (Wisconsin Dept. of Health and Social Services, April 1994). Criminal Activity. The likelihood that a young male will engage in criminal activity doubles if he is raised without a father and triples if he lives in a neighborhood with a high concentration of single-parent families.
