Estrogen’s Role in Seizures

Jun 30, 2012   //   by Team FPS   //   brain, epileptic, estrogen, General, glutamate, progesterone, seizure  //  Comments Off on Estrogen’s Role in Seizures
Also see: The Brain – Estrogen’s Harm and Progesterone’s Protection Endocrinology. 1992 Aug;131(2):662-8. Estradiol selectively regulates agonist binding sites on the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor complex in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. Weiland NG. Estradiol alters cognitive function and lowers the threshold for seizures in women and laboratory animals. Both of these activities are modulated by [...]

Vegetarians have smaller brains

Jun 29, 2012   //   by Team FPS   //   brain, General, vegetarian  //  Comments Off on Vegetarians have smaller brains
by Barry Groves Source If you want to get ahead, get a brain There is overwhelming evidence that we can not be a vegetarian species. In 1972 the publication of two independent investigations confirmed this.[1] [2] They concerned fats. About half our brain and nervous system is composed of complicated, long-chain, fatty acids. These are [...]

Also see: The Brain – Estrogen’s Harm and Progesterone’s Protection Gelatin, Glycine, and Metabolism In the spring, with increased day length, the brains of song-birds grow, with an increased proliferation of cells in the part of the brain involved in singing. The production of progesterone increases in most animals in the spring, and it is [...]

Metabolism, Brain Size, and Lifespan in Mammals

Also see: PUFA, Fish Oil, and Alzheimers Biochemistry. 1998 Jan 13;37(2):552-7. Inhibition of NADH-linked mitochondrial respiration by 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal. Humphries KM, Yoo Y, Szweda LI. During the progression of certain degenerative conditions, including myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, mitochondria are a source of increased free-radical generation and exhibit declines in respiratory function(s). It has therefore been suggested that [...]

Am J Clin Nutr. 2000 Aug;72(2 Suppl):573S-8S. Serotonin and central nervous system fatigue: nutritional considerations. Davis JM, Alderson NL, Welsh RS. Fatigue from voluntary muscular effort is a complex phenomenon involving the central nervous system (CNS) and muscle. An understanding of the mechanisms within muscle that cause fatigue has led to the development of nutritional [...]
