You always have a place for the gift of the Sugario

Even after eating a big meal, most people can find a place to make sweets. Now, mice research shows that neurons in charge of the feeling of integrity are also those who create the eagerness of the sugar. In other words, it seems that it is a neurological basis for our love dessert.
Previous studies have shown that the role in the brain that occurred naturally in the role of irrigating sugar. The main producers of these opioides are neurons located in a regional region that regulates appetiteMetabolism and hormones, called the nucleus of hypothalamus. These cells are known as pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) Neurons, after eating they control feelings of slats.
To understand whether cells role in irrigated sugar Henning Fensefe In the Max Planck Institute for German metabolism research and his colleagues were found signs of opioids that send pomc cells in the brain. The brain fillets were bathed in bathing from three mice, in a fluorescent solution that connects these opioid recipients.
The brain region of the greatest density of these recipients was the parventricular nucleus of Thalamus (PVT) that regulates nutrition and other behaviors. This suggested that the eager of the sugar were linked to communication between these two brain regions – hypothalamen core and PVT core.
So researchers controlled the activity of neurons of these regions while eating the usual food. After 90 minutes, the animals seemed full – only with additional foods were nibulated. At this point, the team gave them a sugar-chow dessert.
On average, neuronal activity between brain regions quadrupled the mouse when they ate their usual lunch while they ate their dessert. Spike started eating sweets before eating, this brain path promises sugar.
Researchers have verified using a technique to turn cells on and off, called optogenetics. When Pomc inhibited signals in Neurons, mice consumed 40 percent less dessert.
“Types of cells, which are very popular to drive satiety, also releases signs that cause sugar and especially in a state of satiety,” says Fenseusek. “This would explain why animals – humans are also full of too much sugar.”
We don’t know why in animals evolved. It can be because sugar is easier because other sources like fats or proteins say Fenseusek. Eating dessert, so it could be almost like meeting your gas tank.
This study expects to bring new Obesity treatmentsAlthough hunger and eager to recognize that they are complicated in life for the rest of the day. “There are so many ways in the brain, of course, can cancel that. We found this path, but it is something we don’t know about many others who play at the moment.”
