Brain-injury rehabilitation depends on acetylcholine circuitry
The ability of the brain to recover from such injury as stroke or trauma depends on a particular circuitry of neurons that "talk" to one another using the brain chemical acetylcholine, researchers led by James Conner and Mark Tuszynski in the Neural repair Group at UCSD have discovered. Their finding in rats could help enhance rehabilitation to recover from such injuries by leading to the develop...Fat's fate depends on its source
A healthy metabolism requires a healthy dose of fat, suggests a new study published in the May issue of Cell Metabolism. Fats taken in directly from the diet or generated from sugars spark a cascade of gene activity in the liver necessary for healthy blood levels of sugar, cholesterol, and other fats, according to the researchers. Old fat stores alone failed to set those critical metabolic...How's the State of the State? It depends on what numbers are crunched
Whether Republican or Democrat, riding high in the polls or battling mediocre approval ratings, Wisconsin governors always use their annual State of the State speech to inspire, cajole and sprinkle a few rose petals o...Vegetable and fruit intake depends on shopping
Blacks in America eat a lot of fruits and vegetables which increases by one third for every additional supermarket in their neighbourhood. Many different factors influence the variety and content of people's daily diet.//According to a new study by Scientists at the University of South Carolina, one of these is the convenience of shopping facilities. The survey looked at black and white...Older women's heart health depends on location of fat
A new study by researchers in Denmark has shown that, it is not the amount of fat that matters but the distribution of the fat that is important, when it comes to the heart health of women over 60. The study involved a group of 1,356 women aged between 60 and 85 whose body fat distribution and amount of atherosclerosis in the abdominal part of the aorta was measured. Atherosclerosis in th...Bone density of child depends on Mother’s Vitamin D leve
Researchers from the University of Southampton in a recent issue of Lancet in which they have reported that the results of the study in which women who did not have sufficient Vitamin D amount during their pregnancy // increased the risk of developing children’s with low bone density which can lead to fractures, osteoporosis and other bone related problems later in their life. Professor C...Cell Survival Depends on Chromosome Integrity
Johns Hopkins researchers have discovered protein machinery important for cells to keep chromosomes intact. Without such proteins, their experiments show that //yeast cells experience broken chromosomes and DNA damage that in human cells are well known to lead to cancer. “Maintaining genome integrity is crucial for cell survival,” says Jef Boeke, Ph.D., Sc.D., the report’s senior autho...Study Shows That The Quality Of HDL Produced Depends On The Food Consumed
A new study shows that the consumption of just one meal high in saturated fat like a carrot cake and a milkshake could quickly prevent// the ‘good cholesterol’, HDL, from protecting the body against clogged arteries. The researchers had also explained that not only does the ability of high-density lipoproteins (HDLs), prevented, which is thought to be a main reason for vascular diseas...
