Prevention of insulin resistance by n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Fedor D, Kelley DS. Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care. 2009 Mar;12(2):138-46. PMID: 19202385

Dietary linolenic acid is inversely associated with calcified atherosclerotic plaque in the coronary arteries: the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Family Heart Study. Djoussé L, Arnett DK, Carr JJ, Eckfeldt JH, Hopkins PN, Province MA, Ellison RC; Investigators of the NHLBI FHS. Circulation. 2005 Jun 7;111(22):2921-6. Epub 2005 May 31.

A new study funded in part by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) suggests that neutralizing an acid-producing diet may be an important key to reducing bone breakdown, or "turnover," while aging. The study comes on the heels of several ARS-reported studies suggesting that consuming more-than-recommended amounts of calcium may not be the main answer to protecting bone.

Dietary cis-monounsaturated fatty acids and metabolic control in type 2 diabetes. Ros E. Am J Clin Nutr. 2003 Sep;78(3 Suppl):617S-625S. Review. PMID: 12936956

Conclusions/interpretation These results show that the previously demonstrated beneficial effects of these agents on complication-causing pathways in rodent models of diabetic complications also occur in humans with type 1 diabetes. Oral benfotiamine plus alpha-lipoic acid normalises complication-causing pathways in type 1 diabetes. Du X, Edelstein D, Brownlee M. Diabetologia. 2008 Oct;51(10):1930-2. Epub 2008 Jul 29. PMID: 18663426 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-008-1100-2

This blend of vitamin C (as sodium ascorbate) with R-lipoic acid (as sodium R-lipoate) simultaneously supports the body's antioxidant status while supporting an endogenous production of glutathione.

ScienceDaily (Feb. 12, 2009) - A Texas AgriLife Research scientist and fellow researchers have discovered that arginine, an amino acid, reduces fat mass in diet-induced obese rats and could help fight human obesity.

The benefits of fatty dairy products seem to go beyond being a good source of calcium and they may need to be part of a diet for diabetes type 2 as well as a measure to prevent this disease. A new study by Harvard School of Public Health has shown that a fat found in dairy products reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This fat is called "trans-palmitoleic acid" and is a fat that our bodies cannot produce.

We have seen in my previous article that since the liver cannot convert fatty acids into energy, it makes triglycerides out of them. But in order to make these triglycerides, the liver needs some extra parts, specifically parts from the cholesterol molecules. And here is where the problem starts.

A deficiency of B-Vitamins can cause elevated levels of the amino acid homocysteine. Whether or not you have high cholesterol, homocysteine is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis and can cause you to have a heart disease.

A diet deficient in omega 3 fats is known to cause impaired vision both in animals and people. That is because omega 3 fats are essential for the functioning of the nerve tissues in the brain and since the retina is an extension of the brain, it goes without saying that a deficiency of omega 3 fatty acids will have an effect in the way we see things.

Canonical processing of APP is catalyzed by α-secretase, resulting in the generation of two fragments: a large extracellular fragment secreted APP (sAPP) α (sAPPα) that is released to extracellular medium, as well as an83 amino acid C-terminal fragment α-carboxyterminal fragments (CTF) that remains in the membrane.

The term "ICSI" used for in vitro fertilization with micro-injection confirms that the biologist will choose a spermatozoon and inject it into the cytoplasm of the oocyte in a well-determined place to induce the fertilization process. There are 2 variants of ICSI treatment procedure which are used by a number of laboratories: The IMSI (or MSOME) which consists in identifying the morphological anomalies of a very high magnified sperm before micro-injecting it into the oocyte. PICSI which consists in selecting sperm from their capacity to fix on macromolecules whose model is represented by hyaluronic acid (HA). This technique, which was described in the early 2000s, has not yet found systematic application today infertility centers.

Hearing "cholesterol" likely invokes a negative reaction for many. However, it actually helps create necessary elements for your body, such as cell walls and hormones. It's also used to make bile acids, which help with digestion. High cholesterol levels are a severe health risk and can increase your chances of developing heart disease. For this reason, many people take statins or other medications to lower their cholesterol levels. You may have also heard that curcumin-the active ingredient in turmeric-can help reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and raise HDL (good) cholesterol. The question is: Does it really work? If so, how much should you take and how often? Does current research and study support this claim? In this article, we'll discuss all these queries. So let's dive into it!

This aromatic spice retains a host of active compounds, especially 'oleoresins and alkaloids like piperine and chavicine. It also has antioxidants, flavonoids, and other phenolic chemicals that help defend your cells and boost digestion-linked issues. It is also a source of the following vitamins and minerals: Vitamin K Vitamin E Vitamin A Thiamine (B1) Riboflavin (B2) Pantothenic Acid (B5) Vitamin B6 Manganese Copper Iron Calcium Phosphorus Potassium Selenium Zinc
