Incorrect lifestyle may be the cause of male infertility

...rit. Scientists believe chemicals in the Soya bean mimic oestrogen, which can be the cause of a host of fertility problems. With an exhaustive list of factors reducing male fertility, men certainly need to be aware of them, and be careful of their lifestyle, including what they eat and what they wea....

Dark chocolate can help ease symptoms of diarrhea

...cocoa extract and flavonoids in cell cultures that mimic the lining of the intestine. All the experiments were associated with lower fluid levels. It has now been scientifically established that cocoa flavonoids can bind to and inhibit a protein called CFTR, which regulates fluid secretion in the small int...

An Answer To Obesity: Weight Control Protein

...sitizes both leptin and insulin, action drugs that mimic or enhance SH2-B action may improve insulin and leptin sensitivity and have potential value in treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes," he added This could be a giant step in the leap for anti- obesity drugs.

Device For Improving Bone Mass In Osteoporosis

...produces small, barely perceptible vibrations that mimic what muscle cells do during common activities such as standing, maintaining balance, and walking. These tiny muscle contractions exert many small stresses on the bone, which can promote bone-building activity. Bones become stronger literally from the...

Cell molecules behind neuro degenerative diseases

...nction. Researchers used computer simulations to mimic polyglutamine behavior. The UNC study showed that when the number of glutamine repeats exceeds a critical value, the glutamines tend to take on a specific shape in the protein called a beta helix. Moreover, the tendency to form a beta helix increases...

Scientists Consider About New Technology Called Nanotechnology

...stem extended by specially designed molecules that mimic the living systems. While doing so, caution has to be taken to ensure that the cost of production does not exceed the cost of raw materials and other resources. This is just the beginnng....

Kidneys Can Be Transplanted From Animals Such As Pigs In Future

...argeted by immune system antibodies. Another is to mimic the natural process by which the body learns to inactivate cells that might attack parts of itself. Experiments conducted on pig kidney transplants to other animals targeting the above strategies have shown that the survival rate is more than 80 da...

New ultralight hand with better functionality and flexibility developed

...di-Hand' has been developed by scientists that can mimic the movement in a real hand better than any curren...tractions of the muscles, which move the wrist. To mimic the functioning of the human thumb, the Remedi-Hand uses two motors – one to allow it to rotate and ...

Teaching the immune system to fight diseases is the key to reducing childhood infections

...e best education for the immune system, and how to mimic its affects in a cleaner environment, could be the key to reducing the rise in the prevalence of asthma and related diseases according to researchers. With this approach, a lot more can be done to reproduce the protective effects of childhood infecti...

Metal In Medicines Can Fight Diseases Effectively

...ew molecules, called metal coordination complexes, mimic the activity of natural enzymes that break apart DNA, RNA, and proteins in the body. Researchers had tailor-made different complexes to break apart portions of RNA that enable HIV and Hepatitis C viruses to function, as well as the ACE enzyme that ...

Helicobacter pylori Antibiotic Treatment of Peptic Ulcer May not Prevent Gastric lymphomas

...ter-induced MALT lymphoma that employs H. felis to mimic human disease in the mouse. Mice were infected with H. felis and maintained for 18 months before being assigned to one of three treatment groups: 1) no treatment (primarily infected), 2) antibiotic therapy to eradicate bacteria, or 3) antibiotic ther...

Red Clover- A Future Remedy For Menopause And An Alternative To HRT

...as it contains chemicals called isoflavones, which mimic the effects of the female sex hormone oestrogen. A lot of them have switched over from HRT due to the associated risk of stroke and breast cancer. Red clover is also used as a remedy for respiratory problems, particularly whooping cough, and for chro...

Fat Cell Protein Hits Type-2 Diabetes

...er, and then creating a smaller molecule that will mimic the effect of Acrp30 or perhaps finding a way to stimulate the secretion of Acrp30 within the fat cell," Roseveltte said. "Either of these strategies will be targets of companies trying to develop drugs from this kind of research."...

Toll-like Receptor (Tlr3) Attachment Leads To Lethal Encephalitis

...lowing WNV infection or stimulation with the viral mimic poly (I:C), the permeability was increased in wild type mice but not in Tlr3 mice. A further insight into the pathogenesis of severe disease was provided by results suggesting that TNF-a receptor I signaling downstream of Tlr3 promotes WNV entry into...

Scientists Unveil Mechanism Behind Resistance to Severe Malaria

...ve mechanisms against malaria, we might be able to mimic that protective effect through vaccines or drugs,” says NIAID researcher Thomas E. Wellems, M.D., Ph.D., whose team’s findings appear this week in the journal Nature. Nature has probably mutated the hemoglobin gene to protect the people from malaria...

Twisted bypass grafts work better

...ists. These are being called SwirlGrafts that just mimic the twists of the normal blood vessels. Researchers from Imperial College of London, who are responsible to creating the SwirlGrafts have successfully tested their loop in live animals. The results of the tests have shown that conventional grafts h...

The Use Of Antioxidants To Diminish Effects of Alcohol During Pregnancy Questioned

...ed high amounts of alcohol were used in order to mimic the blood alcohol level of chronic alcoholics. It was found that virtually all children born with full-blown fetal alcohol syndrome, with major malformations caused by alcohol, are born to chronic alcoholics. Thus researchers conclude saying this is...

Dementia and Down Syndrome

...ral cortex of the Down syndrome patients begins to mimic that seen in the Alzheimer's patients as clinical signs of dementia develop. Ultimately, they hope to find a very early stage at which GMR occurs in the brains of Alzheimer's patients and a way to scan for this occurrence, leading to better treatment...
