Watch nowA high salt challenge (~2.36 g of sodium per day) reduced survival of various Lactobacillus species of gut bacteria, increased the number of autoimmune precursor cells, and elevated blood pressure in healthy males after 2 weeks (pilot study). In mice, several intestinal bacteria were suppressed by high salt particularly, Lactobacillus strains. In addition, fecal bacterial tryptophan metabolites seem to play a role in increasing the quantity of precursor autoimmune cells (Th17 cells). More research needs to be done to investigate how much of a role high sodium intake plays in the relative loss ... microbiome immune system blood pressure salt autoimmunity
Read moreThe effect was found in people regardless of whether or not participants had a mental health disorder. The study was an analysis of data from 16 previously published studies with a total of 922 participants who were randomly assigned to do resistance training or be inactive. There are likely multiple mechanisms at play here. It is known that exercise (both aerobic and non-aerobic) causes branched chain amino acids to be taken up into muscle cells. This alleviates competition with tryptophan for transport into the brain thus allowing tryptophan to be converted into serotonin. This is why exerci... exercise depression anxiety aerobic
Read moreNot only does serotonin regulate neurogenesis, it is also an important regulator of mood, impulse control, sensory gating, executive function and more. This study highlights the importance of exercise in brain aging, normal brain function, and mood. Tryptophan is the precursor to serotonin but it must be transported into the brain in order to produce it. Branched-chain amino acids (like leucine) outcompete tryptophan for transport into the brain; however, exercise causes branched-chain amino acids to be taken up by muscle cells, thus, allowing tryptophan unabated transport into the brain to ma... exercise brain stem cells memory serotonin behavior neurotransmitter neurons
