Science Lays a Golden Egg - I Spy Physiology Blog

Let’s be honest. Some scientific research can sound a little silly when you first hear about it. But if you look more deeply, you may find remarkable insights in that silly-sounding science. For instance, why would someone bother to study lizard spit when there are so many serious diseases left to be cured? Or why … Continue reading Science Lays a Golden Egg

My latest for the #ISpyPhysiology blog, summarizing 3 studies from the #aps2023 #scicomm

TL;DR
1) Exercising in the morning lowered diastolic #BP but in the evening lowered diastolic and systolic

2) Otherwise healthy adult hearts started showing strain at lower wet-bulb temps than those at which core temp starts to change (important #climatechange implications)

3) Full-fat, but not non-fat, yogurt helped prediabetics control their glucose

Physiology Helps You Protect Your Health - I Spy Physiology Blog

Scientists who study physiology gathered in Long Beach, California, last week for the inaugural American Physiology Summit—a brand-new conference dedicated to sharing discoveries on the cutting edge of bioscience. Studies highlighted at the Summit span from the effect of cannabis extracts on blood pressure to the surprising medical applications of “scratch and sniff” tests. Three … Continue reading Physiology Helps You Protect Your Health
