Hunger increases physical activity and stamina to support food-directed foraging behaviors, but underlying mechanisms are unclear. In this issue, Fernandes et al. (2015) show that disruption of leptin-regulated STAT3 signaling in midbrain dopamine neurons increases the rewarding effects of running in mice, which could explain the "high" experienced by endurance runners.
饥饿会增加身体活动和耐力,以支持以食物为导向的觅食行为,但潜在的机制尚不清楚。在本期杂志中,Fernandes 等人(2015)表明,破坏中脑多巴胺神经元中瘦素调节的 STAT3 信号会增加小鼠跑步的奖励效应,这可以解释耐力跑者所体验到的“快感”。
