Maximal fat oxidation assessment in active postmenopausal females: A novel relative power FATmax test
This study compared a novel relative-to-body-mass FATmax test (RFT; 0.15 W/kg/4 min from 0.45 W/kg) with a traditional absolute power FATmax test (AFT; 10 W/3min15sec from 30 W) in postmenopausal…

To be blunt this article is quite bad, it relies on the astrocyte neuon lactate shuttle which is not true and a bunch of handwaving about metabolic flexibility when the truth remains that glucose is the obligate fuel for neuronal activation however www.thetransmitter.org/metabolism/b...
Beyond glucose: The brain may feed itself
Myelin may serve as an energy reserve for the brain, and neuroscientists are rethinking how the brain stores, shares and protects energy.

This is the basic polyvagal theory eye exercise. It's easy to do & can be done anywhere, tho is most effective when laying down on your back. It shifts vagal tone in powerful ways, relieving anxiety, anger, stress, PTSD, & dysautonomia symptoms It's not a cure. It's a coping tool to manage burnout
Victorious Bleue@victoriousbleue.bsky.social · 2y agoI’m featured in another article regarding polyvagal theory and how it relates to long covid, other nervous system disorders or injury, and post protracted SSRI withdrawal symptoms By Emily Mendenhall & also featuring Laura Bernas Please read emilymendenhall.substack.com/p/polyvagal-...
Macrophages in the liver as sensors for the earth magnetic field with signals sent to the brain via the vagal nerve 😮 I'm struggling to understand how this would actually work as a compass signal but it would be very cool. Also, this pigeon portrait makes for an adorable cover! 🕊️
Science Magazine@science.org · 2mo agoResearchers have identified superparamagnetic macrophages in the livers of rock pigeons to be crucial for magnetic sensing. The finding uncovers an unexpected role for immune cells in sensory perception and may fundamentally change our understanding of animal navigation. https://scim.ag/4nTQ3nq
A New Study for Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Needs Your Help. Can vagal nerve stimulation decrease menstrual blood loss? The biology is plausible. Thanks to @shematologist.medsky.social for the headsup open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...
A New Study for Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Needs Your Help
Researchers are testing a wearable nerve stimulation device that may reduce menstrual bleeding. Here's what the science shows so far, and why this trial deserves attention.
