Neue Erkenntnisse zu pflanzlichen Präparaten zur Behandlung menopausaler Beschwerden

Die hormonelle Umstellung in den Wechseljahren führt oft zu postmenopausalen Beschwerden, die gerne alternativ zu konventionellen Therapien mit Präparaten der Traubensilberkerze (Actaea racemosa L.) behandelt werden. Einem ForscherInnenteam um Sophia Khom vom Department für Pharmakologie und Toxikologie der Universität Wien ist nun ein wesentlicher Schritt zur Aufklärung der möglichen Wirkmechanismen der Traubensilberkerze gelungen. Die neuen Erkenntnisse wurden kürzlich in der renommierten Fachzeitschrift “Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics” veröffentlicht. (more…)

Exercise reorganizes the brain to be more resilient to stress

Physical activity reorganizes the brain so that its response to stress is reduced and anxiety is less likely to interfere with normal brain function, according to a research team based at Princeton University.

The researchers report in the Journal of Neuroscience that when mice allowed to exercise regularly experienced a stressor — exposure to cold water — their brains exhibited a spike in the activity of neurons that shut off excitement in the ventral hippocampus, a brain region shown to regulate anxiety.

The meal is pushed way, untouched. Loss of appetite can be a fleeting queasiness or continue to the point of emaciation. While it’s felt in the gut, more is going on inside the head.

New findings are emerging about brain and body messaging pathways that lead to loss of appetite, and the systems in place to avoid starvation. (more…)
