There is a direct relationship between brain function and dietary habits. What are Brain Healthy Foods? The brain needs adequate nutrition to function efficiently. You can obtain these nutrients from multiple food groups like fish, vegetables, fruits etc. These foods help protect the brain from ...
Glucose transporters (GLUTs) at the blood-brain barrier maintain the continuous high glucose and energy demands of the brain. They also act as therapeutic targets and provide routes of entry for drug delivery to the brain and central nervous system for treatment of neurological and neurovascular con...
The body's blood glucose level needs to be maintained in a relatively narrow range. It cannot be too high, as it can lead to diabetes, and it cannot be too low because it can cause fainting or even death. "There are manyglucose-sensing neurons in the brain that are thought to actively...
Whole grains, like oats, barley, quinoa and wheat, provide a steady release of glucose to the brain, essential for maintaining energy levels and focus throughout the day. They’re also rich in vitamin E, which protects against cognitive decline and promotes overall brain health....
alterations in overweight individuals is still needed. In addition, while we found a significant association between functional connectivity in visual network and TFEQ-hunger subscale, it should be noted that the hunger subscale is relatively unstable across different populations, and thus needs to be...
This may explain the occur- rence of several isoenzymes of ceramide biosynthesis at different subcellular sites and supports the view that the site of ceramide formation might determine its function. On the other hand, the cell needs to transport ceramide from the ER to the Golgi compartment for...
The mechanisms underlying the organization and evolution of the telencephalic pallium are not yet clear.. To address this issue, we first performed comparative analysis of genes critical for the development of the pallium (Emx1/2 and Pax6) and subpallium
At the genome-wide level, Kong et al. [122] performed the first GWAS examining brain FDG metabolism in 222 subjects from the ADNI cohort in 2018, and identifiedRBFOX1(RNA-binding Fox1) SNP rs12444565 to have a strong association with brain glucose metabolism. Wang et al. [124] identified...
resulting in a more intense insulin response to a glucose load. The structure and function of the islets are altered, resulting in glucose sensitivity and T2DM [41,42]. It impacts lipid homeostasis, differentiation of adipocytes, fat cell volume and number, and promotes weight gain by increasing...
