Researchers Discover That a Hormone Can Access the Brain By Hitchhiking
Touro University researchers have found that particles in the blood shuttle hormones through the body, including the brain, supercharging the transport in response to physical exercise
Researchers at Touro University Nevada have discovered that tiny particles in the blood, called extracellular vesicles (EVs), are a major player in how a group of hormones are shuttled through the body. Physical exercise can stimulate this process. The findings, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), open the door to deeper understanding of hormone circulation and access to the brain, how exercise may trigger changes in energy balance, mental health, and immune function, and circulation of certain drugs.
