Something strange in brains during a marathon

It offers new research, not just our feet, which is shaking during a marathon. Scientists found evidence that our brains will be subject to dramatic changes when working in extreme long-distance races.

Researchers in Spain conducted research, published Monday’s magazine metabolism in nature. Before and after the use of a marathon, he scanned the brains of people, these runners were significant in certain areas, but found the temporary reduction in Myelin. The results can use the oil stored in the Myelin of our brains, when researchers can use it as an emergency energy source.

Marathons are endurance tests that require participants to escape 26.2 miles. We trust the carbohydrates (glucose), which are initially saved for fuel while running a marathon or any long-lasting exercise. However, as a result, this fuel calls on to burn oils kept in place. Research in rodents proposed This type of fat can use Myelin as the source of this fat when these brains need. Myelin provides a protective cover on neurons of the brain when increasing the speed that brain cells can communicate with each other; It is also mainly made of lipids or oil (between 70% and 80%).

To test this hypothesis, researchers performed 10 cities and mountain marathon runners for two days before the ESB for a long time. All ten or two days after the IFRD or two days and some were scanned for two weeks and two months.

Before the marathon, athletes had similar levels (measured using indirect biomarker). After that, in the motor coordination, they had a “significant” decrease in the concrete brain areas, known to engage in sensitive and emotional integration. Two weeks of athletes, scanners, myeline levels increased, but not all the ways to normal; In two months, the Myel’s levels have finally reached the pre-marathon base.

“These findings show that the temporary and recycling of Myel’s content can be used as the energy resources in times of the Miyelin Lipids, with severe exercise, the temporary and rejection.

The authors note that their research is a small sample size, if these findings are approved and are genuine, you will need more research to better understand the phenomenon. For example, Myelin is not known to be used differently depending on the state of emergency. In other words, does the long-lasting activity or stress borrow our body from another place in the brain? Researchers should be investigated to understand whether MYELIN’s decline in these decreases caused any temporary physical or cognitive changes.

Marathon and other types of elite athletes are generally very healthy and likely Lives longer than average, Thus, it is unlikely to have a great negative impact on the average runner health of this moment in MyELIN. However, lessons learned from the study of these runners can help our brains discuss metabolize metabolize our brains and how to develop certain neurodehenerative disorders related to the permanent loss of Miyeli.

“(T) He wrote the potential relevance of the findings described here for brain energy exchange” Additional research for additional studies.

Personally, I was able to cave myself in the Chinese Chinese, just running a marathon ten years ago, just after the race.
