High intensity exercise is known to have its neuroendocrine role somewhat linked to acidity (including prolactin and growth hormone release) but it appears that buffering the increases in pH with sodium bicarbonate does not modify exercise-induced BDNF increases.
A verrine, here with sprouts. A verrine is originally a small thick-glass container with no base, which purpose is to contain a solid or liquid dish (starter, course or dessert), rather than a drink.y way of metonymy, a âverrineâ therefore designates in the cooking world a dish served in a verrine, in a vertical manner, which allows a different aesthetic and gustatory experience from a dish served in a traditional plate.
