Scientists Discover a Chemical Mechanism That Allows Our Brain To Save Energy
Over a period of intense intellectual activity, the brain works more
than an athlete in action. When resources are completed, the nervous
system uses a protein called AMRK that can reduce the intensity of the action of neurons, which can protect us from an apoplectic stroke, British researchers suggest.
The brain operates twenty four hours and needs energy even during sleep or times of rest. Brain cells exchanged constantly, electrical impulses, which makes possible the operation of all human body systems.
Normally the brain receives the supply of energy needed in the form of oxygen, glucose, animoácidos and other substances through the blood. However, if the bloOd vessels that carry these substances into the brain are narrowed or blocked, the nutrient supply is stopped.
The depletion of neurons threat not only to generate states of laziness or apathy, but to trigger nerve cell death, which could cause a stroke crisis.
British scientists from the universities of Leeds, Edinburgh and Dundee (United Kingdom) have descubrierto the role of protein called AMRK in the process of nervous exhaustion.
The action of this protein, which lowers the frequency of nerve impulses in the cells, helps the brain to save energy during a session of intense work. This would prevent death of nerve cells.
The study’s authors hope these findings will help doctors to cure some diseases related to impaired cerebral circulation, including the stroke, and to prevent exhaustion of the nervous system, for example in people ‘workaholic’.

This transition can be painful mentally and physically, due to small
regrets and emotional breakdowns, all product of old ties, associations outdated and old thoughts.
Broccoli Reduces the Risk of Cancer.
Eat two grams of broccoli sprouts protects against bacteria that cause gastritis, ulcers and may even reduce the risk of stomach cancer.
So suggests a study by the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in the
United States conducted with patients in Japan.
The study, published in the journal Cancer Prevention Research ‘claims that broccoli sprouts reduce infections of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) causes gastritis. Infections with this bacterium is one of the most common bacterial infections worldwide and a major cause of stomach cancer.
The researchers asked study participants to eat 70 grams of fresh
broccoli daily for eight weeks, since they already knew the protective effect of broccoli against cancer of sulforaphane.
This is the first study to demonstrate the positive effect of broccoli in regard to the prevention of this bacterial infection that leads to stomach cancer. Olive oil also reduces the risk of cancer.
Broccoli, good eating habits
“Broccoli has recently entered the public consciousness as a protective dietary agent. This study supports growing evidence that broccoli sprouts may prevent cancer in humans and not only in laboratory animals, “said Jed Fahey, director of the study of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
Researchers assessed the severity of infection with the bacteria at
baseline and again performed the standard tests of breath, serum and
stool four and eight weeks later. The levels of the bacterium were up to 40% lower at eight weeks among patients who had eaten broccoli sprouts.
The scientists found that eight weeks after the study subjects who
stopped eating broccoli returned to the levels of bacteria, suggesting that food reduces infection but not eradicate it.
It is expected that a reduction in ‘H.pylori’ lead to a reduction in
stomach cancer due to their association with this disease. Stomach
cancer is the second most common cancer with a poor prognosis and is the second deadliest cancer in the world.
