Publicado em 30 abril 2024
People who find themselves rummaging around in the refrigerator for a snack not long after they’ve eaten a filling meal might have overactive food-seeking neurons, not an overactive appetite.

When stimulated, this cluster of cells propels mice to forage vigorously and to prefer fatty and pleasurable foods like chocolate over healthier foods like [...]

Weight Training: Good For The Body And Mind

A recent study published in the journal Psychiatry Research suggests that weight training can also benefit the mental health of older people. This study involved a systematic review and meta-analysis of over 200 studies, and [...]ver notícia -

Researchers Shed Light On How Exercise Preserves Physical Fitness During Aging
Publicado em 11 janeiro 2023Proven to protect against a wide array of diseases, exercise may be the most powerful anti-aging intervention known to science. However, while physical activity can improve health during aging, its beneficial effects inevitably decline. The cellular mechanisms underlying the relationship among exercise, fitness and aging remain poorly understood. In a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers at Joslin Diabetes Center investigated the role of one [...]ver notícia
