  •  
    First long-term study on GMO effects on rats. The majority of studies on GMO have been on animals with the end point at < 90 days.  This study followed the rats for 2 years.  Increased mammary tumors were found.  Is this definitive?  Of course not, but this is the first study to look at long term effects.

Tolerance and safety of vitamin E: a toxicological position report. - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    Only abstract available here.  The quote that "the toxicity of vitamin E is very low" tells the story.  Always have levels evaluated to ensure need.  In this review of human studies, doses up to 3,200 IU daily "led to no consistent adverse effects".  Also consider the effects of vitamin K effects in those on vitamin E therapy.

  • Recent studies have shown that, in subjects with chronic arsenic exposure, oxidative stress is increased and the expression of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) is upregulated
  • these two cytokines have been well known for their effect on the induction of insulin resistance
  • Oxidative stress has been suggested as a major pathogenic link to both insulin resistance and β cell dysfunction through mechanisms involving activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), which is also activated by low levels of arsenic

ScienceDirect - Food and Chemical Toxicology : Neuroprotective effect of ginger on anti... - 0 views

  • A marked decrease in anti-oxidant marker enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), reduced glutathione (GSH) and increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) was observed in the diabetic rats
  • inger may be used as therapeutic agent in preventing complications in diabetic patients.
  • These results suggest that ginger exhibit a neuroprotective effect by accelerating brain anti-oxidant defense mechanisms and down regulating the MDA levels to the normal levels in the diabetic rats
