It has a physiological role in transporting riboflavin to the developing oocytes. In mammals it transports this essential vitamin to the developing embryo. Recent findings indicate that RCP is also a component of the ovulated oocyte as well as of the trophoblast. It is susceptible to immunointerference without causing any discernible adverse effects on the mother’s health. The antifertility effects are reversed when titres of RCP antibodies drop. These findings hold promise of using this unique, reproduction specific protein as an antifertility vaccine in the female primates.” Link to the study here: http://humup...

KERRI Oh Siah, I just received an email!  About a chocolate shake with glucose-reducing powers!  And how, if I purchase the family pack of chocolate powder mix, I’ll get a free personal blender and I will also be cured of my diabetes! SIAH (blinks)  Meow? KERRI I know!  Diabetes cures apparently are everywhere.  Even in my spice rack, because it seems that just a spoonful of cinnamon, added to every meal and smeared on my face like Noxema, will help me achieve good blood sugar control.  Man, if only I had known that these diabetes cures were there the whole time!

Before that, it was a word you rarely heard outside of medicine. Before Dr. Atikins and the low carb evangelists came along, you could relegate ketosis to a power point slide in an occasional diabetes lecture and be done with it. Now it seems like ketosis is the in-word with soccer moms and zone dieters alike. And, while its conceptual popularity has grown, there’s still a lot of misunderstanding floating around about what ketosis is and what it means for your body. Much like belly button lint and the popularity of boy-bands, the ketosis phenomenon is well known yet somewhat mysterious and difficult to explain. So let’s review. If you don’t have time for the long answer...

Is this association stronger among working-age populations? Does work stress affect CHD directly through neuroendocrine mechanisms, or indirectly through behavioral risk factors for CHD, or both? A few questions for you above. And I know you know the answers! Yes, yes and yes!!! We all know that stress increases ones risk for heart disease and work is no different. What is interesting about the research is that they concluded that stress at work leads to CAD through direct activation of ones neuroendocrine stress pathway. via European Society of Cardiology Tags: CAD, endocrine system, heart-disease, stress, work related stressShare This (Source: A Hearty Life) A Hearty Life blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1181852 Mon, 28 Jan 2008 01:03:20 +0100 1181852
