Breakthroughs In The Development of Type 2 Diabetes
Scientists studying brain’s handling of sugar rush have gained better understanding of how type 2 diabetes develops. This post from YaleNews explains how sugar rush shrinks the brain cell powerhouses. The spike in blood sugar levels that can come after a meal is controlled by the brain’s neuronal mitochondria, which are considered the “powerhouse of cells,” Yale School of ... Continue Reading
Caloric Restriction May Reduce Age-Related Memory Loss
This article reports that caloric restriction can delay the onset of neurodegeneration in mice by activating an enzyme known to offer protection against age-related impairments in the brain. Activating an enzyme known to play a role in the anti-aging benefits of calorie restriction delays the loss of brain cells and preserves cognitive function in mice, according to a study ...
