  3. 2. A Systematic Review of Time-Restricted Eating's Effect on Gut Microbiota and How It May Contribute to Cognitive Function

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Susanne Lind; [2021]
    Keywords : time-restricted eating; microbiota; gut-brain axis; brain-derived neurotrophic factor; butyrate;

    Abstract : Time-restricted eating is a fasting diet where the food intake is restricted to a short, typically eight-hour, window each day. It is associated with health benefits such as weight loss, improved sleep, protection against cognitive disorders, and improved cognitive function. READ MORE

  4. 3. Effect of voluntary exercise on BDNF/TrkB gene expression and alcohol intake.

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Josefine Jonsson; [2012]
    Keywords : Alcohol addiction; BDNF; C57BL 6 mice; Forced swim test; Gene expression; Neurotrophins; TrkB; Voluntary wheel exercise;

    Abstract : Voluntary wheel running is rewarding and believed to activate the same brain reward system as in alcohol and drug addiction. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a well-known growth factor widely expressed in the brain, is modulated by both voluntary exercise and alcohol consumption. READ MORE

  5. 4. Administration of morphine and/or cocaine modulates the expression levels of genes related to plasticity mechanisms in rat hippocampus

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Therés Larsson; [2008]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Drugs of abuse regulate the expression of several genes involved in receptor regulation and signalling, transcription factors and cytoskeleton proteins. Due to its implication in long-term memory consolidation, rat hippocampus was selected to identify genes that are differently regulated by morphine and/or cocaine administration. READ MORE
