Full, but still feasting: Mouse study reveals how urge to eat overpowers a signal to stop

Full, but still feasting: Mouse study reveals how urge to eat overpowers a signal to stop A new study explores the mystery of what drives eating past the point of fullness, at the most basic level in the brain. It shows that two tiny clusters of cells battle for control of feeding behavior -- and the one that drives eating overpowers the one that says to stop. It also shows that the brain's own natural opioid system gets involved -- and that blocking it with the drug naloxone can stop over-eating. ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png #Nutrition #Research ...

Mediterranean-style diet may lower women's stroke risk Following a Mediterranean-style diet (high in fish, fruits and nuts, vegetables and beans and lower in meat and dairy) reduced stroke risk in women over 40, but not in men. The Mediterranean-style diet reduced stroke risk among white adults who were at high risk of cardiovascular disease. ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png #Nutrition #Research ...

Gut sense: Neural superhighway conveys messages from gut to brain in milliseconds

Gut sense: Neural superhighway conveys messages from gut to brain in milliseconds Searching for a more direct connection between the gut and the brain, researchers were shocked to see that distance spanned by a single synapse, relaying the signal in less than 100 milliseconds, less than the blink of an eye. The finding has profound implications for the understanding of appetite and appetite suppressants, most of which target slow-acting hormones rather than fast-acting synapses. ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png #Nutrition #Research ...
