FDAs Gesture for Firm Manufacturing Drug for Cushings Syndrome

... normally produced in the adrenal cortex. Cortisol production is regulated by adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), made in the pituitary gland, which is located just below the brain. When too much cortisol is produced in the adrenal glands, or an excess is taken in treating other diseases, significant changes...

Smoking Linked to Lower Parkinson's Disease Risk

...ubstrates for these enzymes and thereby alters the production of toxic endogenous (dopamine quinones) or exogenous (MPP+) metabolites," the authors write. "Ultimately, only randomized intervention trials can confirm that some components in tobacco are truly neuroprotective, negating the possibility that a pre...

Scientists Identify New Genetic Mutation Behind Common Dementia

...the mutation in a gene on chromosome 17 halves the production of progranulin, a protein growth factor that helps brain cells survive. For the study, the researchers conducted DNA tests on 70 family members, including 13 people with the disease. They found the new mutation in nine of the family members with fr...

Analysis of Hemoglobin Level Control in Dialysis Patients

...ficiant treatment in anemaia, which encourages the production of red blood cells in bone marrow is the drug called erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs). This treatment has been a major break through in anemia treatment in chronic kidney disease (CKD). This drug is surrounded by controversy regarding its apt...

Scientists Identified Obesity Control Switch

...fied a long-sought "master switch" in mice for the production of brown fat , a type of adipose tissue that generates heat and counters obesity caused by overeating. A team headed by Bruce Spiegelman, PhD, suggests in the July issue of Cell Metabolism that turning up the equivalent switch in people might be a ...

Scientists Identify "master Switch" for Brown Fat in Mice

...ientists have identified a "master switch" for the production of brown fat, a type of adipose tissue that generates heat and counters obesity caused by overeating , by conducting experiments on mice. Dr. Bruce Spiegelman of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute believes that turning up the equivalent switch in humans...
