I don't know if I'd call a veterinary anaesthetist a foremost expert on fat metabolism. His thoughts on insulin signaling are not consistent with the consensus among obesity researchers. He thinks glp-1 works through uncoupling or fat browning which is just not true.
The consensus among most obesity researchers is the cause of obesity is primarily neurological, not metabolic. Basically the brain can't properly regulate weight in the current obesogenic environment. When you look at GWAS most of the genes related to obesity are active in the brain, (as opposed to genes for diabetes which are more closely related to fat/metabolism etc...).
I'd describe Petro Dobromylskyj as a smart hobbyist with an outsiders views of obesity, not a foremost expert on fat metabolism.
- givemeethekeys 4y agoIs human metabolism really so different from other mammalian metabolism?

- computing 4y agoyes. yes it is.
- sarchertech 4y agoThe only published paper I can find by him is on small animal ventilation, so I don’t think he’s a “foremost expert” on fat metabolism in animals either.
- jononomo 4y agoHe is basically the world's leading expert, but you can only see credentials, lol.
- wolverine876 4y agoWhat makes this person the world's leading expert?
- jononomo 4y agodepth and breadth of knowledge and deep curiosity and persistence.
- wolverine876 4y agoMany in the middle ages used those qualities to spend lifetimes investigating alchemy and witchcraft.
- refurb 4y agoWorld leading experts usually have an impressive publishing record in the field, often a top academic research position and a long record of speaking at important global conferences on the area. Does he have all those? I'm honestly asking, I've never heard of him.
- sarchertech 4y agoNo he doesn’t.
- jononomo 4y agoHey, you basically worship credentials, so you're not going to be impressed with a person who doesn't have them regardless of their breadth and depth of knowledge. I don't know what to tell you.
