A recent study has found that high endurance sports, such as running, can alter and temporarily damage the brain. The study, ...

Marathon runners experience reversible changes in their brain myelin. These findings indicate that myelin (a substance that surrounds the neurons) exhibits behavior that was previously unknown, and ...

New research shows that running a marathon can cause a temporary reduction in brain myelin, the fatty substance that insulates neurons and supports efficient communication.

According to a study published by Nature Metabolism, marathon runners experience reversible changes in their brain myelin.

Scientists have discovered another fuel source for marathon runners, and it could lead to new treatments for diseases such as ...

However, a new study published in Nature Metabolism has results that seem to contradict those prior findings. According to ...

However, a new study in Nature Metabolism has results that seem to contradict those findings: Researchers noted that marathon ...

A single dose of an experimental drug dramatically reduced levels of a deadly form of cholesterol, often thought to be untreatable, for up to one year. Lipoprotein(a) is a type of cholesterol ...

Recent research published in Nature Metabolism reveals that the human brain consumes its own myelin when glucose levels drop significantly during strenuous physical activities like marathons.

Although the study was conducted on a small sample, its findings are supported by research on mice, which demonstrated that myelin could serve as a lipid reserve in cases of glucose deficiency. Myelin ...

During periods of intense metabolic stress, such as running a marathon, the brain may tap into myelin lipids for fuel, helping to support cognitive and neural function. This adaptive response ...
