Adult and Children Have Varied Drug Metabolism
A new study led by Ronald Hines, professor of pediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin said that adult and children have very different drug metabolism. // Both have different levels of chemicals (enzymes) in their body for the processing of the drug. These enzymes vary in concentration with age. Hence this study suggests that more research is needed to understand how m...Varied Applications of Adult Stem Cells to Treat Host of Disorders in Human
The University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine has isolated a new source of adult stem cells, which have the potential to differentiate into several cell types.// If the cells show no allergic reactions in human and animal studies and are grown in increased magnitude, then it is possible to meet the needs of an individual to treat a host of disorders that includes peripheral nerve disease, Pa...New Therapy for Lipid Disorder Demonstrates Varied Results
Preliminary research suggests that use of a novel, potent drug to treat cholesterol disorders decreases triglycerides and increases// HDL-C, the 'good' cholesterol, but also raises some safety concerns, according to a study. Several different classes of drugs are used to treat lipid disorders. Fibrates reduce the liver's production of a triglyceride-carrying particle and speed up rem...
