Here are three research titbits that pique my interest this week.\u00a0 Firstly, John Hopkins researchers found a link between mental illness and yeast infections.\u00a0 Further research from Washington University paints fructose in a negative light, this time for the impact on foetuses.\u00a0 \u00a0And finally, for anyone sitting exams soon, research from Japan found that daily probiotics reduced pre-exam stress markers.<\/p>\n
Researchers from John Hopkins University School of Medicine\u00a0published research in Nature<\/a>\u00a0that looked at Candida albicans in patients with mental illnesses.\u00a0 An association was found between Candida infections, schizophrenia and bipolar.\u00a0 The assistance professor Emily Severance, Ph.D. said the research was at an early stage, \u201cHowever, most\u00a0Candida <\/em>infections can be treated in their early stages, and clinicians should make it a point to look out for these infections in their patients with mental illness\u201d. \u00a0Read more.<\/a><\/p>\n Research published in Nature<\/a>\u00a0assessed the impact of a maternal diet high in fructose in mice on the offspring.\u00a0 Smaller foetuses were seen, with raised triglycerides and uric acid. \u00a0Blood samples from a number of women at the time of delivery, were found to correlate with the mouse results.\u00a0 Dr. Moley explained, \u201cThe body tries to compensate for the small growth in utero, These babies can become kids and then adults struggling with obesity and other health problems.” \u00a0Read more.<\/a><\/p>\n Research published in the journal of Applied and Environmental Microbiology<\/a>\u00a0looked at the impact of consuming daily probiotics in the typically stressful period leading up to exams.\u00a0 Stress is biochemically characterised by raised cortisol levels.\u00a0 The researcher Miyazaki said that probiotics, \u201cdampened the rise in salivary cortisol\u201d. \u00a0Read more.<\/a><\/p>\n Back to News & Events<\/a> cheap nike air max 90 uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here are three research titbits that pique my interest this week.\u00a0 Firstly, John Hopkins researchers found a link between mental illness and yeast infections.\u00a0 Further research from Washington University paints fructose in a negative light, this time for the impact on foetuses.\u00a0 \u00a0And finally, for anyone sitting exams soon, research from Japan found that daily probiotics reduced pre-exam stress markers.
