焦虑和代谢相关的疾病一直是科学家们研究的焦点,虽然很多研究都表明,这两者之间有很强的关联,但是一直缺乏有力的科学依据来证实。近日,来自耶路撒冷希伯来大学的研究人员在分子水平上揭示了焦虑和代谢的联系——一种类型的microRNA将这两者联系在一起,并影响着它们共同的生物学机制。这项研究发表在2016年9月的《Trends in Molecular Medicine》杂志上。身体和情绪之间有一定联系,许多研究表明心理创伤影响许多基因的活性。该小组此前的研究发现压力和焦虑会诱导炎症反应,大大增加调控大脑及肠道炎症反应的microRNA表达水平。比如,处在心里应激状况下的克罗恩氏病(一种原因不
Anxiety and metabolism-related diseases have always been the focus of scientists’ research. Although many studies have shown that there is a strong correlation between the two, there is a lack of strong scientific evidence to confirm this. Researchers at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem have recently revealed the link between anxiety and metabolism at a molecular level - a type of microRNA that ties the two together and affects their shared biological mechanisms. The study was published in the September 2016 issue of Trends in Molecular Medicine. There is a link between body and emotion, and many studies show that trauma affects the activity of many genes. Earlier studies in the group found that stress and anxiety induced an inflammatory response that greatly increased the level of microRNAs that regulate brain and intestinal inflammatory responses. For example, Crohn’s disease in stress conditions (a reason not
