  2. Central nervous system fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Nervous_System_Fatigue

    In the brain, serotonin is a neurotransmitter and regulates arousal, behavior, sleep, and mood, among other things. [9] During prolonged exercise where central nervous system fatigue is present, serotonin levels in the brain are higher than normal physiological conditions; these higher levels can increase perceptions of effort and peripheral muscle fatigue. [9]

  3. Music and sleep - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_and_sleep

    The characteristics of music that have improved sleep quality in the music-sleep literature include slow tempo, small change of rhythm, and moderate pitch variation of melody. [16] The selection of music (self selected or researcher selected) does not appear to impact sleep quality.

  4. Thyroid hormones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_hormones

    Thyroid hormones act on nearly every cell in the body. They act to increase the basal metabolic rate, affect protein synthesis, help regulate long bone growth (synergy with growth hormone) and neural maturation, and increase the body's sensitivity to catecholamines (such as adrenaline) by permissiveness. [12]

  5. Exercise and music - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_and_music

    Max strength is unaffected by the use of music during exercise. [16] [17] In addition, it had been found that fast, loud music can lead to more optimal exercise when compared to slow, lower tempo music. Loud, high tempo music positively correlates with increased running rate and heart rate. [18] Higher tempo music, specifically music greater ...

  6. Tyrosine hydroxylase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrosine_hydroxylase

    Tyrosine hydroxylase or tyrosine 3-monooxygenase is the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the conversion of the amino acid L-tyrosine to L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA). [ 5 ] [ 6 ] It does so using molecular oxygen (O 2 ), as well as iron (Fe 2+ ) and tetrahydrobiopterin as cofactors .

  8. Metabolic window - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_window

    The metabolic window (also called the anabolic window or protein window) is a term used in strength training to describe the 2 hour (give or take, dependent on the individual) period after exercise during which nutrition can shift the body from a catabolic state to an anabolic one.

  9. Polyphenol oxidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphenol_oxidase

    Aurone synthase purified from Coreopsis grandiflora shows weak tyrosinase activity against isoliquiritigenin, but the enzyme does not react with the classic tyrosinase substrates l-tyrosine and tyramine and must therefore be classified as catechol oxidase. [49] Laccase, a multi-copper oxidase, is often considered a subclass of polyphenol ...
