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

Grow your nerves to prevent depression – medications – drugs causes it
It’s often said that depression results from a chemical imbalance, but that figure of speech doesn’t capture how complex the disease is. Research suggests that depression doesn’t spring from simply having too much or too little of certain brain chemicals. Rather, there are many possible causes of depression, including faulty mood regulation by the brain, genetic vulnerability, stressful life events, medications, and medical problems. It’s believed that several of these forces interact to bring on depression.
Skin and nerves need Vit C, A, D, E, calcium-magnesium and B complex
Neuroscientists at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have discovered how the sense of touch is wired in the skin and nervous system. The new findings, published Dec. 22 in Cell, open new doors for understanding how the brain collects and processes information from hairy skin.
“You can deflect a single hair on your arm and feel it, but how can you tell the difference between a raindrop, a light breeze or a poke of a stick?” says David Ginty, Ph.D., professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins. “Touch is not yes or no; it’s very rich, and now we’re starting to understand how all those inputs are processed.”

B vitamins for nerve health and nerve pain
B vitamins are perhaps the most important class of vitamins in terms of nerve health. Of particular benefit are vitamins B1, B2, B6 and B12 – all of which are essential for proper nerve function. For those suffering from nerve pain related to neuropathy, getting these vitamins through diet and daily supplements can be anContinue reading “B vitamins for nerve health and nerve pain”
Tumor spread along nerves, adenocarcinoma , and Macrophages
Tumor spread along nerves, a phenomenon known as perineurial invasion, is common in various cancers including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Neural invasion is associated with poor outcome, yet its mechanism remains unclear. Using the transgenic Pdx-1-Cre/KrasG12D /p53R172H (KPC) mouse model, we investigated the mechanism of neural invasion in PDAC. To detect tissue-specific factors that influenceContinue reading “Tumor spread along nerves, adenocarcinoma , and Macrophages”
Sulfur-rich foods as regulator of nerves and vital organ functions, egg production and cell growth
Sulfur-rich foods such as protein-rich foods like meat, poultry,eggs,fish,legumes,milk avocados,asparagus,nuts,kale/greens,tamarind,potatoes,onions,garlic and okras are” heating elements with major influence to the liver and other organs, stabilizes protein necessary for egg production and growth of hair, nails, and skin regulates nerves and temperature Sulfur works in synergy with taurine (precursor of bile acid taurocholic acid), chondroitin sulfateContinue reading “Sulfur-rich foods as regulator of nerves and vital organ functions, egg production and cell growth”
