Scientists recently determined why people always seem to have space for something sweet after Eat a meal.
It is because “Stomach dessert” It is something real in a person’s brain.
“We wanted to find out why, even in a state of satiety, we consume foods that contain sugars,” Digital Fox News told Fox News that Henning Fenselau, leader of the Max Planck Research Group for the research of metabolism in Colonia, Germany.
To address the problem, Fenselau said that he and his colleagues sought the brain mechanisms that tell a person when he feels full.
“We discover that neurons, nerve cells, which are mediating satiety are the same cells that are also producing a sign that selectively drives The appetite for sweets“, said.

This discovery, said Fenselau, was “very surprising.”
Fenselau and his team carried out experiments with mice and realized that “completely satiated mice They still ate desserts“According to a statement from the Max Planck Institute.
“The brain investigations showed that a group of nerve cells, the so -called POMC neurons, are responsible for this,” the statement said.

“These neurons were active as soon as the mice received access to sugar, which facilitated their appetite.”
A similar discovery was found in human volunteers, whose brains were scanned after receiving a sugar solution.

“They discovered that the same region of the brain reacted to sugar in humans,” according to the launch.
“In this region, as in mice, there are many opioid receptors near satiety neurons.”
Looking towards the future, Fenselau said he believes there is “a lot of space to investigate” this discovery.
“The same region of the brain reacted to sugar in humans.”
It can have implications for research and obesity treatments, he said.
It is possible that this part of the brain can play a role in the Development of obesity.

“Because sugar is present everywhere, is it that this mechanism is committed all the time?” He wondered.
Research discoveries could affect obesity drugs. (Istock)
Drugs like LPG-1, said Fenselau: “They definitely work in the same part of the brain” that his team identified as the “dessert brain.”
However, there is still much to discover.

Regarding LPG-1, he said: “We do not know if () interferes with this mechanism that we identify.”
“Why, even in a state of satiety”, “do we consume foods that contain sugars?” A research group wanted to find out. (Istock)
He added: “It is something that we are very interested in, also to discover how these medications, which are quite effective, have an impact on this mechanism that we identify.”

Alternatively, with the new discovery, drugs could be improved with “additional compounds” that are directed to the part of the brain that longs for sugar and reduces The appetite For sugar, he said.
