They conducted their research on mice. The experiments showed that it is orexin that makes the body make this choice in favor of one or another activity every time.
Neurophysiologists from the Swiss University of Technology have stated that the neurohormone orexin is responsible for the choice between eating and sports. The researchers supported their conclusions with the results of experiments on mice.
Professor Denis Burdakov notes that this hormone determines not the amount of food consumed or the volume and intensity of training, but the choice between the two activities, provided that both are available.
Scientists believe that in the future their discovery will be able to develop techniques to increase the attractiveness of sports activities for overweight people.
