DNP and ATP Inefficiency

[silkmobility]

I'm new to this forum however i'm a long time lurker but i only created an account now.

Let me just thank you all especially Conciliator for how much information you gave to this forum, i must have read all your posts about DNP.

I just have a question, i know that the inefficiency in making ATP on DNP is equivalent to the percentage increase of the metabolic rate, so let's say that a person has 1000mg of DNP in his blood levels due to the normal build up of DNP, will this mean that besides having a ~100 % increase in the metabolic rate, the inefficiency in making ATP is also ~100%? If so theoretically carbs should be completely radiated as heat and not a single calorie stored.

Is this correct?

Best Regards,

if this helps: ive taken enough dnp for a 100% increase. glycogen depleted especially you can eat above your maintenance with a lot of carbs for a day or two. but you WILL gain weight after that regardless of how much dnp you take after that if you eat above maintenance cals.

DNP only acts on one pathway, the Electron Transport Chain, so there are other ways to make ATP such as Fermentation and Glycotic pathways.

theoretically, by knocking out the enzyme hexokinase (involved in the first step in glycolysis) you could prevent the production of ATP via Carbohydrates leading to the breakdown of fats and proteins for sources of energy

not related to your question, but im currently doing mitochondrial research using the chemical 2,4-Dinitrophenol, DNP. if (when) i find something useful to our community, ill make sure to post it up
