The research involved two groups of men aged 70 and older, with one group taking the supplement and the other a placebo. After six weeks without exercise, the supplement group gained lean body mass, and with added exercise, they experienced greater strength gains compared to the placebo group.

The Long Wait for Antidepressants to Kick in May Soon Be Over

18 Aug 2017  |  The Healthy
The article discusses the challenges faced by people with depression, particularly the long wait for antidepressants like SSRIs (e.g., Prozac and Zoloft) to take effect. It highlights new research from Rockefeller University and the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital of McGill University, published in the journal Neuron, which investigates why SSRIs take weeks to work. The study found that SSRIs activate different serotonin receptors over time and that long-term treatment reorganizes neural activity. It also points to the role of a protein called p11 and CCK neurons in the hippocampus in the potential development of faster-acting antidepressants. The research aims to create more targeted drugs with fewer side effects. The article also reminds readers that not all antidepressants work for everyone and provides a resource for what to do if antidepressants are not effective.
