    After watching this it now makes since why exercising in the morning is good for handling stress throughout the rest of the day. Get the cortisol flowing through exercise and it'll help inhibit cortisol release after.. Thank you for this, I know very little about this subject but I'm trying to learn to deal with stress in more natural, healthier ways. I hear serotonin is good for lowering cortisol too. This kind of science is very practical and useful, literally a life saver lol. Thanks again for this👍👍👍

    i’m not sure of everything that was said but basically when you are stressed your body shuts down certain functions so you can survive in that moment or short time. for example, if your danger, you are not going to digest your food, or want to have sex, or have a happy thought, or heal a wound, or tell a joke, or be relaxed, or understand anything....what happens if you are stressed emotionally or physically is you go into an automatic survival mode and your blood pressure will rise so you get more blood into your legs and arms to get out of that situation. even your breathing changes. all those things are shut off until your brain knows you are safe, then you can relax, eat, smile, etc etc. cortisol shits certain things off, and turns other things on, but the things that get turned on should only be on temporary or it causes an overload and we are not designed to endure and overload. that’s my understanding. ciao!

    Well with Cushing u got chronic elevated cortisol so u end up having high blood sugar and elevated fatty acids but neither the brain nor the skeleton muscles need the energy so it gets stored in glycogen and abdominal fat again. Meanwhile due to the reduced anabolic metabolism in the muscles u lose musclesubstance leading to the classic small extremities and fat torso, neck and face.

  • @yngfljm2277

    Жыл бұрын

    Take this with a grain of salt, but it seems to me like creatine recycles ATP, thus the brain doesn't need to use as much glucose for energy. I don't know if this means it really *improves* the brain per say, not nearly as much as it improves the metabolism of skeletal muscle (as you're less likely to run into muscle fatigue). If anybody smarter than me would like to correct this, you're more than welcome, as I too would like to know.

    Cortisol direct effect of synthesis of glucose by gluconeogenesis and increase blood glucose level and it also help in conversion of glucose into glycogen...but in case of stressful condition ephinephrine and non ephinephrine also released along with cortisol . Catecholamines binds on beta adrenergic receptor and effect is on glycogen to convert into glucose but cotisol mainly help in increasing the sensitivity of adrenergic receptor and indirectly cause breakdown of glycogen into glucose and increase blood glucose level.

    yes, I've read that too in my first aid. If you haven't got your answer, cortisol is the body’s long term stress response. compare that to adrenaline which is the short term stress response. you’re absolutely correct in saying that breaking down glucose for more energy is the logical approach in times of stress, and that’s what we see happen in the adrenaline response. however, with long term stress, the body prioritizes energy stores, and so cortisol increases gluconeogenesis to build up glucose stores.
