Twelve weeks of supplementation with PEA was associated with improved concentrations of IL-2, indicating reduced intestinal inflammation compared to the placebo. Triglyceride levels also decreased, according to the findings published in Biomedicines. “While the overall composition of gut microbiota remained stable, specific functional changes were observed in the PEA group, suggesting a potential modulation of metabolic pathways,” wrote scientists from Central Queensland University, The University of Queensland and RDC Clinical. “To our knowledge, this study is the first to investigate the specific microbiome functional changes following PEA supplementation […],” they wrote. “Alterations in microbiome function have been associated with various…

There are many hypotheses for why animals need sleep, but scientists struggled to find solid evidence—until now.Image credit:©iStock, Alones CreativeScientists have long struggled to pinpoint a reason for why animals need sleep. They’ve put forward many hypotheses, including the need for metabolic repair, memory consolidation, and immune system boosting, but these largely relied on observed correlations. Recently, researchers discovered that buildup of toxic molecules in the mitochondria could be the answer they’ve been looking for.1 Gero Miesenböck, a neuroscientist at the University of Oxford, and his colleagues showed that the extent of electron leakage from the electron transport chain in…
