Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the combined effects of creatine supplementation and exercise on depression caused by chronic stress in mice.
- Researchers used a mouse model divided into different treatment groups to assess behavioral changes and serotonin expression after 4 weeks of treatment.
- Results indicated that both creatine and exercise reduced depressive behaviors, with their combination showing a stronger effect on serotonin levels in the brain, suggesting a more effective approach to combat stress-induced depression.
Effects of blood flow to the prefrontal cortex on high-intensity exercise combined with high-decibel music.
J Exerc Nutrition Biochem
December 2013
We studied the effects of high-intensity exercise (70-75% of VO2 max) combined with high-decibel music (100 dB) on cognitive function (measured by the Stroop test) and related blood flow changes to the prefrontal cortex (measured by Oxy-hemoglobin (Hb), Deoxy-Hb, tissue oxygen index (TOI), and normalized tissue hemoglobin index (nTHI)). The subjects of the study were 28 healthy female university students in their early 20s. Subjects were categorized into control group (CG), music group (MG), exercise group (Ex), and music and exercise group (MnEx).
