KNOW YOUR BLUES-HOW TO GET OUT FROM THAT
1. METFORMIN-AN ANTIDIABETIC CAN HELP YOU TO GET RID OF ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION-RESEARCH:-
Diabetes Mellitus-2 a condition of metabolic defects in which insulin resistance plays an important role. Insulin resistance makes the body improperly handle or metabolize glucose and the result is high sugar level in the blood.
Usually insulin resistance occurs due to hormonal imbalances in the CNS. Stimulant hormones such as acetylcholine,nor-adrenaline, and dopamine overpowers the other hormones especially serotonin- the hormone of peace.
Because of this majority of the diabetics are more irritant, anxious, and depressed.
Research by French scientists published in The Journal of Neuroscience states that metformin a biguanide antidiabetic drug can dramatically help the person to fight the blues and get rid of them.
The research conducted in mice which are fed with high fatty diet to simulate insulin resistance in them. High fat produces branched amino acids in the blood which block the entry of the amino acid tryptophan to enter into the brain.
Tryptophan is an essential amino acid necessary for the brain to prepare serotonin (5-hydroxytryptophan) -the hormone of peace and happiness.
The researchers have found out that metformin the anti-diabetic drug prevent the formations of branched-chain amino acids and thereby make more tryptophan to cross the blood-brain barrier. Thus it helps the brain to prepare enough serotonin the hormone of peace in diabetic patients.
