Scientists have discovered a definitive role for the brain in regulating loss of muscle mass

Wasting negatively affect quality of life, but they also affect significantly the mortality rate in patients with chronic diseases. Said our laboratory found that the system, which our brains mediate the response to stressful stimuli critical in regulating muscle loss associated with the disease.

In response to infection, the body mobilizes protein stored in muscle fuel in the immune system. This process is critical in addressing the acute infection, but when it happens excessively, as in the case of chronic illness, the result of a profound loss of mass and muscle weakness.Articles Sources by Venus Factor Review
Theodore Brown, found a PhD candidate in the laboratory of the signs, and colleagues that the muscle of rodents with isolated inflammation in the brain undergoes rapid atrophy.

This process, they discovered, leads to the rapid release of cortisol in the blood, which works on the muscles for wasting. When this system is blocked, is to prevent the loss of a comprehensive response to inflammation of the muscles. Moreover, when the glare when cortisol level simulation of production that occurs in many chronic diseases, dramatic muscle wasting results.

Because it has been proven to prevent the loss of muscle mass in response to the growth of cancer recently to improve survival rates in mice, researchers suggest that targeting this system can improve the quality of life and reduce the mortality rate associated with chronic diseases.
