Fructose produced by the brain can lead to inflammation and ultimately Alzheimer's disease, a new study reports.
Glucose takes longer to get into the nucleus accumbens of obesity-prone rat models. Researchers also discovered excess levels of glutamate in obesity-prone rats, implying a deficiency in the neurotransmitter recycling process normally maintained by astrocytes.
Cutting calories and exercise alone are not enough to help shift excess weight, a new study reports. Researchers report your gut bacteria and the amount of specific proteins your body produces affects your ability to lose weight and sustain weight loss.
