Opioid receptor was present in the nerves associated with the portal vein that collects blood from the gut
The sensations of hunger and satiety are mediated through communication between the gastrointestinal system and the brain. Duraffourd et al. found that μ-opioid receptor (MOR)–1 was present in the nerves associated with the portal vein that collects blood from the gut. Peptide products of protein digestion can function
Calorie restricted diet to live long and healthy
Not only did their calorie restricted diet ( CR) monkeys look remarkably younger – with more hair, less sag, and brown instead of grey – than monkeys that were fed a standard diet, they were healthier on the inside too, free from pathology. Cancers, such as the common intestinal adenocarcinoma, were reduced by over 50%.Continue reading “Calorie restricted diet to live long and healthy”
Gut microbes signal to the brain when they are full
Don’t have room for dessert? The bacteria in your gut may be telling you something. Twenty minutes after a meal, gut microbes produce proteins that can suppress food intake in animals, reports a study published November 24 in Cell Metabolism. The researchers also show how these proteins injected into mice and rats act on theContinue reading “Gut microbes signal to the brain when they are full”
Hunger has stronger motivational force than fear, anxiety or thirst
Hunger is a strong motivational force, with the capacity to curb rival drives states such as thirst, anxiety, fear of predators, and social needs, according to a study in mice published September 29 in Neuron. The researchers also found that activation of neurons known to regulate appetite mimics the state of hunger in mice, suppressingContinue reading “Hunger has stronger motivational force than fear, anxiety or thirst”
Neurons ‘Predict’ Drinking’s Restorative Effects Well Before They Unfold
By Leigh Beeson A new UC San Francisco study shows that specialized brain cells in mice “predict” the hydrating effects of drinking, deactivating long before the liquids imbibed can actually change the composition of the bloodstream. The results stand in stark contrast to current views of thirst regulation, which hold that the brain signals forContinue reading “Neurons ‘Predict’ Drinking’s Restorative Effects Well Before They Unfold”
Fish-rich Diets May Help Balance Leptin, a hunger hormone
Leptin is small protein that’s gotten a lot of press in the past few years. Because it’s able to act like a hormone, and is connected with fat metabolism, leptin has become a molecule of interest to many researchers – including drug companies – who see leptin as a possible tool in weight management. ResultsContinue reading “Fish-rich Diets May Help Balance Leptin, a hunger hormone”
