Watch nowNanoplastics are emerging as a new concern in environmental and human health due to their capacity to interact with biological systems at the cellular level. Their small size allows them to penetrate tissues and potentially disrupt key physiological processes, particularly in the gut. A recent study in mice found that polystyrene nanoplastics can disrupt gut bacteria, weaken the intestinal barrier, and trigger molecular changes that may have far-reaching effects on health. Researchers exposed mice to oral doses of polystyrene nanoplastics four times a week for 12 weeks and used fluorescent lab... gut pollution Microplastics
Read moreExercise can profoundly affect your brain, boosting memory and enhancing cognitive performance. But imagine if your daily exercise routine could boost your grandchildren’s brainpower. A recent study in mice found that cognitive benefits from physical activity can be passed down to future generations, even if they don't exercise. Researchers compared the cognitive performance of male mice whose grandfathers exercised regularly with those whose grandfathers were sedentary. They also analyzed genetic markers related to brain function in both groups. Mice with active grandfathers had better memory... exercise brain memory
Read moreTime-restricted eating influences the activation of roughly 70 percent of all genes in mice, a new study shows. Mice that ate on a time-restricted schedule had fewer active genes involved in inflammation and oxidative stress and more active genes involved in metabolism and autophagy – a cellular defense mechanism (https://www.foundmyfitness.com/topics/autophagy). Researchers fed two groups of mice a Western-style diet, which is high in fat and sugars, for seven weeks. One group was allowed to eat whenever they chose to, but the other group was allowed to eat only during a nine-hour window ea... metabolism genetics autophagy time-restricted eating
