“However, the pups whose mothers had eaten the high-fat chow overate more (and subsequently gained more weight) than those whose mothers ate the healthy chow, due to differences in brain connections – a consequence of overnutrition during pregnancy and lactation.”

“Multiple mechanisms may be responsible for the anti-anxiety effects of exercise. For example, high-intensity exercise promotes the production of lactate, a byproduct of glucose metabolism that participates in the production of neurotransmitters, such as norepinephrine and serotonin.”

“FTA: > Parkinson's disease affects neurons in the Substantia nigra brain region -- their mitochondrial activity ceases and the cells die. Researchers now show that supplying D-lactate or glycolate, two products of the gene DJ-1, can stop and even counteract this process.”

“Omega-3 supplementation during pregnancy promotes brown fat formation in offspring. A new study in mice showed that omega-3 fatty acid consumption during pregnancy and lactation promoted the formation of brown fat in offspring.”

“For example, evidence suggests that women who breastfeed experience a faster return to pre-pregnancy weight and have a lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer Findings from a 2021 study suggest that breastfeeding is associated with having less pericardial and visceral adipose tissue.”

“In addition, exercise induces the production of lactate, which stimulates the production of neurotransmitters in the brain that promote focus and attention. Learn more about the brain benefits of lactate in this episode featuring Dr. George Brooks.”

“They also compared the children's brain metabolism measures with data from 248 adults in earlier studies to see how they differed with age. The adults had lower brain blood flow, oxygen use, and lactate levels than the children, consistent with the decline in brain metabolism that occurs as the brain matures.”

“It may also activate protective HIF pathways and improve lactate metabolism, helping cells manage energy and stress. Taken together, the findings suggest that lower oxygen availability may slow neuronal damage and reverse some Parkinson’s symptoms, even after they emerge.”

“A growing body of evidence suggests pregnancy also changes the female brain. A recent study in mice shows that estrogen and progesterone alter galanin-producing neurons in the brain, switching on maternal behavior before offspring arrive.”

“Lactate, a molecule produced during vigorous exercise, also has robust effects on the brain, influencing neurogenesis and promoting cognitive function. Learn more in this episode featuring Dr. George Brooks. Read full publication.”
