Read moreAerobic exercise pre-conditions muscles for optimal returns from resistance exercise. Skeletal muscle contains a designated population of adult stem cells called satellite cells. These cells are typically inactive, but if the muscle is injured or stressed (as in exercise), they can be recruited to participate in the regeneration of muscle fibers. As such, satellite cells play important roles in muscle maintenance, repair, and hypertrophy, the increase in muscle size that accompanies exercise. Findings from a new study suggest that engaging in aerobic exercise prior to resistance training incre... exercise muscle aerobic
Read moreGlucosamine plays important roles in brain function. Glucosamine is a type of sugar found in the muscles, cartilage, and other soft tissues of the body. It is commonly marketed as a dietary supplement used for joint pain and stiffness. Evidence from a 2021 study suggests that glucosamine is prevalent in brain glycogen, where it plays important roles in glycosylation. Glycogen is a multi-branched polysaccharide that serves as the stored form of glucose in the human body. Most of the body's glycogen stores are found in the muscles and liver, but some glycogen is found in the brain, primarily in... brain metabolism

Within three days of initiating carboxymethylcellulose consumption, beneficial fecal compounds such as short-chain fatty acids and essential amino acids were depleted even though the population of bacteria had yet to change substantially. The results support the growing concern ove... microbiome
Read moreAge-related changes in the brain drive cognitive impairment, which in turn alters memory formation and promotes mitochondrial dysfunction. A recent study demonstrates that spermidine improves cognitive function in humans. Spermidine is a dietary compound found in a number of foods, including wheat germ, cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, amaranth, a variety of cheeses (especially aged cheeses), and soybean products, such as natto. First identified in semen, spermidine demonstrates anti-aging properties in animal studies, likely due to its capacity to induce autophagy – the process by which the... brain autophagy
Read moreThe trillions of microbes that inhabit the human intestine, known collectively as the gut microbiota, play critical roles in health. Research demonstrates that the microbiota provides protection against infections by preventing pathogenic colonization in the gut. Findings from a new study indicate that taurine facilitates the gut microbiota's immune response to infection. Maintaining a "friendly" population of gut microbes is essential for good health. An imbalance in the number of harmful versus helpful microbes, a condition known as dysbiosis, drives many disease states (https://www.ncbi.nl... antibiotics gut microbiome taurine
Read moreAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a developmental disorder characterized by poor focus, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. Approximately 5 percent of all children worldwide have ADHD. Findings from a recent study suggest that poor maternal vitamin D status may play a role in the pathophysiology of ADHD in children. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin stored in the liver and fatty tissues. It plays key roles in several physiological processes, such as the regulation of blood pressure, calcium homeostasis, immune function, and the regulation of cell growth. Emerging evidence... fatty liver vitamin a blood pressure
