Scientists recently determined why people always have room for something sweet after eat a meal.
That’s because “Dessert stomach” It’s the right thing in a person’s brain.
“We wanted to find out why, even in the state of satiety, we consume food containing high sugars,” Fox News Digital Henning Fenslau, a research group leader at the Cologne Metabolism Institute.

In order to solve the problem, Fensela said that he and his colleagues looked into the brain mechanisms that speak to the person when he feels full.
“We have found that neurons are – nerve cells – which mediate the satiety of the same cells that also produce a signal that selectively drives triggers Appetite for sweets“He said.

This discovery, Fenslau said, was “very surprising.”
Fenselau and his team performed experiments with mice and realized that “they were completely saturated mice still eaten desserts“According to the Max Planck Institute.
“Brain studies have shown that a group of nerve cells, so -called pomc neurons, are responsible for that,” the statement said.

“These neurons have become active as soon as they got access to sugar, which made their appetite facilitated.”
A similar discovery was found in human volunteers, whose brain was scanned after receiving a sugar solution.

“They found that the same brain region responded to sugar in humans,” the release said.
“In this region, as with mice, there are many opiate receptors close to the neurons of the satiety.”
Looking in advance, Fenslau said he thought “a lot of space to explore” this discovery is on.
“The same brain region responded to sugar in humans.”
This can have the consequences for research and treatment of obesity, he said.
It is possible that this part of the brain can play a role in Development of obesity.

“Because sugar is present everywhere, is this mechanism constantly engaged?” He wondered.
Research discoveries could affect obesity drugs. (East)
Medicines like GLP-1, Fenslau said, “Definitely act in the same part of the brain” that his team identified as “the brain of dessert”.
Still, it still needs to be discovered.

As for the GLP-1, he said: “We do not know if [it] It interferes with this mechanism we identified. “
“Why, even in the state of satiety,” Do we consume foods containing high sugars? “The research group wanted to find out. (East)
He added, “This is something that we are very interested in realizing how these drugs, which are quite effective, affect this mechanism we identified.”

Alternatively, with new discovery, medication could be improved with “additional compounds” that target a part of the brain craving for sugar and reduces appetite For sugar, he said.
