Watch nowFrom the article: > Muscle tissue can remodel itself, which is one reason why exercise becomes easier when we do it regularly, Lessard says. Over time, aerobic exercise such as running or swimming can alter muscle fibers to become more efficient at using oxygen during exercise. "We also grow new blood vessels to allow more oxygen to be delivered to the muscle, which helps to increase our aerobic fitness levels," she says. > The scientists propose that high levels of blood sugar may prevent muscle remodeling in part by modifying the "extracellular matrix" proteins in the space between the... exercise diabetes blood sugar aerobic strength
Read moreAutism spectrum disorder is a developmental condition characterized by impaired social interaction, behavioral problems, and poor communication. It typically manifests in early childhood and is slightly more common among boys than girls. Roughly one in 54 people living in the United States has ASD (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5919599/). A team of researchers has developed an assay that predicts the risk of having a child with maternal autoantibody-related autism. Maternal autoantibody-related autism spectrum disorder is a developmental condition that occurs when proteins (call... autism

From the article: > Studies have shown that BDNF levels in the brains of people with Alzheimer's or Huntington's disease are, on average, half that of people without either brain-damaging disease. > Among the key findings of the current study was that a ketone, a chemical naturally produced in the liver called beta-hydroxybutyrate (DBHB), triggers biological reactions that activate the BDNF gene to produce more of... exercise brain alzheimer's diet ketosis bdnf hdac inhibitor

Our results show a previously unknown model for how vitamin C affects the amyloid plaques," says Katrin Mani, reader in Molecular Medicine at Lund University.

Read moreFTA: > The two proteins, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and interleukin-8 (IL-8), have been previously identified as putative biomarkers for ASD. TSH levels were significantly lower in ASD boys, whereas IL-8 levels were significantly elevated. The diagnostic accuracy for ASD based upon TSH or IL-8 levels alone varied from 74 to 76%, but using both proteins together, the diagnostic accuracy increased to 82%. ... abstract immune system autism protein
