Article Synopsis
- - Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) lacks specific treatments, but creatine, which supports cellular energy, was tested as a potential intervention.
- - In a study with 14 ME/CFS participants, those who took creatine for 6 weeks showed increased brain creatine levels, reduced fatigue, improved reaction times on cognitive tests, and enhanced hand-grip strength.
- - The findings suggest that creatine supplementation can benefit ME/CFS patients, prompting the need for further research with placebo controls for solid conclusions.
has a lateral line mechanosensory system throughout its full life cycle, and a previous study on prefeeding stage tadpoles revealed that it may play a role in motor responses to both water suction and water jets. Here, we investigated the physiology of the anterior lateral line system in newly hatched tadpoles and the motor outputs induced by its activation in response to brief suction stimuli. High-speed videoing showed tadpoles tended to turn and swim away when strong suction was applied close to the head.
