The liver's main role is to help the body digest food, mainly fats and sugars. The brain is the main consumer of sugar in our body whileskeletal muscle, which allows us to move, run and jump and also allows the heart to pump, is the main consumer of fat. The mechanism published by...
Back pain can look different for everyone, whether it centralizes around your midsection or radiates from your upper back. Either way, it's an experience that sleepers can all agree is unpleasant. In our testing experience, hybrid mattresses offer the best blend of softness for your body to ...
It is known that humans show large individual variability in entrainment characteristics, resulting in differences in timing of activity preference and preferred behavioral circadian rhythm, also described as “phase of entrainment” or “chronotype” in chronobiology (Horne and Ostberg, 1976; Huang et ...
Table 2. Beneficial effect of citrus peels, extracts, and juices on body weight, lipid profiles, fat content, and bone health. 3.1. Effects of Citrus Components on Body Weight, Body Composition, and Lipid Profiles Several clinical studies have shown the therapeutic effects of citrus and/or ...
The arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANAT) family is divided into structurally distinct vertebrate and non-vertebrate groups. Expression of vertebrate AANATs is limited primarily to the pineal gland and retina, where it plays a role in controlling the circadian rhythm in melatonin synthesis. Based...
The skin is the interface between the organism and the external environment, acting as its first barrier. Thus, this organ is constantly challenged by physical stimuli such as UV and infrared radiation, visible light, and temperature as well as chemicals and pathogens. To counteract the deleterious...
Although many of these neuropeptide hormones are also expressed in the central nervous system where they have been shown to influence behaviour and circadian rhythm [4, 9, 31], the significance of neuropeptide hormone secretion by gut enteroendocrine cells remains unclear. The visceral muscles of ...
It is closely linked with the regulation of emotions, memory control and arousal [30]. Likewise, it intervenes directly in the maintenance of circadian rhythms and the generation of sleep-wake patterns [31]. In patients with depression, it has been shown that there is a decrease in volume ...
The HPI axis is dysregulated in thegrmutant lines Whole-body cortisol, as measured by RIA in 5-dpf larvae, showed statistically significant higher levels in both mutant lines compared togr+/+fish. Moreover, in mutant fish, cortisol level did not show any change after mechanical stress, when...
