Exercise-induced or athletic menstrual dysfunction (amenorrhoea, oligomenorrhoea, anovulation, luteal phase deficiency, delayed menarche) is more common in active women and can significantly affect health and sport performance. Although athletic amenorrhoea represents the most extreme form of menstrual dysfunction, other forms can also result in suppressed estrogen levels and affect bone health and fertility. A numberContinue reading “Female athletes dietary needs”

Natural communication breakdown in aging
A naturally produced compound rewinds aspects of age-related demise in mice. Researchers have discovered a cause of aging in mammals that may be reversible. The essence of this finding is a series of molecular events that enable communication inside cells between the nucleus and mitochondria. As communication breaks down, aging accelerates. By administering a moleculeContinue reading “Natural communication breakdown in aging”
Resveratrol and calorie restriction activates SIRT1 , anti-aging gene
When the SIRT1 gene is activated, it produces proteins that protect cells from inflammation and oxidative stress, two of the primary causes of premature aging and many degenerative diseases. Almost all organisms have a gene that is equivalent to SIRT1. The gene is a defense mechanism, activated by low calorie consumption, that gives cells anContinue reading “Resveratrol and calorie restriction activates SIRT1 , anti-aging gene”
Your Microbiota’s Previous Dining Experiences May Make New Diets Less Effective
Summary: People who follow a more restricted, plant based diet have more diverse gut microbiota, a new study reports. Source: Cell Press. Your microbiota may not be on your side as you try improving your diet this New Year’s. In a study published December 29 in Cell Host & Microbe, researchers explore why mice thatContinue reading “Your Microbiota’s Previous Dining Experiences May Make New Diets Less Effective”
Anti-inflammatory herbs: panax notoginseng and others
PnS has an obvious anti-inflammatory effect and its mechanisms are related to the inhibition of the Neu-[Ca2+]i level and PLA2 activity, and reduction of Din content. Herbal medicines have traditionally played a major role in the management of diabetes in Asian countries for centuries. Panax notoginseng (Burk) F. H. Chen (Araliaceae) known as Tiánqī orContinue reading “Anti-inflammatory herbs: panax notoginseng and others”
Ellagic acid in berries, pomegranates, grapes, and walnuts as anti-inflammatory
Phytochemicals — chemicals found in plant foods — might have health benefits that explain why fruits and vegetables are good for you, just like your mom said. Potential benefits of one phytochemical, ellagic acid, include decreasing cancer risk and lowering cholesterol. Ellagitannins, which break down into ellagic acid when you consume them, are one ofContinue reading “Ellagic acid in berries, pomegranates, grapes, and walnuts as anti-inflammatory”
CHANGING GUT BACTERIA THROUGH DIET AFFECTS BRAIN FUNCTION
UCLA researchers now have the first evidence that bacteria ingested in food can affect brain function in humans. In an early proof-of-concept study of healthy women, they found that women who regularly consumed beneficial bacteria known as probiotics through yogurt showed altered brain function, both while in a resting state and in response to anContinue reading “CHANGING GUT BACTERIA THROUGH DIET AFFECTS BRAIN FUNCTION”
Parkinson’s Disease Linked to Gut Microbiome
Summary: A new study reports a link between the deterioration of motor skills in Parkinson’s disease and alterations in the composition of populations of gut bacteria. Source: California Institute of Technology. Caltech scientists have discovered for the first time a functional link between bacteria in the intestines and Parkinson’s disease (PD). The researchers show thatContinue reading “Parkinson’s Disease Linked to Gut Microbiome”

Calcium in our foods and bodies
The effects of calcium on human cells are specific, meaning that different types of cells respond in different ways. However, in certain circumstances, its action may be more general. Ca2+ ions are one of the most widespread second messengers used in signal transduction. They make their entrance into the cytoplasm either from outside the cellContinue reading “Calcium in our foods and bodies”
Store and Supply: How the Brain Saves Time
Summary: A new study explores how neurons adapt their function to respond to stimuli quickly. Source: University of Basel. Neurons in the brain store RNA molecules – DNA gene copies – in order to rapidly react to stimuli. This storage dramatically accelerates the production of proteins. This is one of the reasons why neurons inContinue reading “Store and Supply: How the Brain Saves Time”
Missing link between gut and brain discovered with big implications for disease
Summary: Researchers have identified immune cells in the membranes around the brain that could be a ‘missing link’ in the gut-brain axis. The immune cells also appear to have a positive impact on recovery following spinal cord injury. Source: University of Virginia. A rare and powerful type of immune cell has been discovered in theContinue reading “Missing link between gut and brain discovered with big implications for disease”
