Meditation can change gene expression
Thursday, July 31st, 2008A recent paper (freely available at PLOS one) is reporting how relaxation response (RR) (a form of meditation) changed whole blood gene expression. In the introduction they report previous research that found that meditation decreases oxygen consumption, reduced blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration. The current paper wanted to look at more the underlying molecular changes that bring about the above physiological responses and the many other positive benefits reported with meditation. No
