A marathon taxes more than just muscles—it pushes the brain to its metabolic limits. New research shows that during extreme ...

CIC biomaGUNE, and IIS Biobizkaia reveals unexpected behavior in myelin. Prolonged physical exercise forces the human body to ...

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.

It is now proven that simple carbohydrates, like added sugar and fructose, add empty calories and can elevate levels of sticky low density lipoprotein, or what we call bad cholesterol, triglycerides ...

Myelin, which surrounds neurons in the brain and acts as an electrical insulator, mainly comprises lipids, and previous research in rodents suggests that these lipids can act as an energy reserve ...

Scientists are now developing lipid-based nanoparticles to deliver the compound more effectively to the brain and nervous system. A natural compound found in everyday fruits and vegetables may hold ...

Researchers conducted MRIs on 10 runners within 2 days of a run Post-run, myelin levels in the brain 'substantially decrease' Myelin can serve as an energy source A group of researchers studied ...

In a study published in the Nature Metabolism Journal on March 24, scientists observed eight men and two women and found their myelin levels “diminished by severe exercise.” Myelin is an insulating ...

High cholesterol is relatively common, and as a result there is a lot of misinformation on the internet when it comes to diet and the impact of certain foods. High cholesterol occurs when you have ...

Cholesteryl esters (CEs) and triacylglycerols (TAGs) are stored in lipid droplets (LDs), but their compartmentalisation is not well understood. Here, we established a hyperspectral stimulated Raman ...
