Research supported by the Knight Initiative found that metformin, a commonly prescribed diabetes drug associated with moderate weight loss, stimulates the production of lac-phe, a molecule abundant after exercise. Image Podcast episodes | Jun 22 2023 From Our Neurons to Yours Exercise and the brain In this episode, chemist Jonathan Z. Long discusses his recent discovery of a new molecule produced when we exercise that appears to be linked to health benefits from regulating appetite to boosting learning and memory.
