Cause of Cytokine Storms When the immune system is fighting pathogens, cytokines signal immune cells such as T-cells and macrophages to travel to the site of infection. In addition, cytokines activate those cells, stimulating them to produce more cytokines.[2] Normally, the body keeps this feedback loop in check. However, in some instances, the reaction becomesContinue reading “Pandemic deaths and cytokine storms”

Changes in mineral metabolism in chronic kidney disease, an ebook
Abstract With progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), disorders of mineral metabolism appear. The classic sequence of events begins with a deficit of calcitriol synthesis and retention of phosphorus. As a result of this, serum calcium decreases and parathyroid hormone (PTH) is stimulated, producing in the bone the high turnover (HT) bone disease known asContinue reading “Changes in mineral metabolism in chronic kidney disease, an ebook”
Vitamin D Promotes Protein Homeostasis and Longevity via the Stress Response Pathway Genes
Vitamin D metabolism is conserved between nematodes and mammals Vitamin D prevents the age-dependent accumulation of SDS-insoluble proteins Vitamin D enhances lifespan and protein homeostasis via IRE-1, XBP-1, and SKN-1 Summary Vitamin D has multiple roles, including the regulation of bone and calcium homeostasis. Deficiency of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the major circulating form of vitamin D,Continue reading “Vitamin D Promotes Protein Homeostasis and Longevity via the Stress Response Pathway Genes”
More breast and prostate cancers among African American women and men
The current epidemiological data suggest that the epidemic of breast and prostate cancers may be partially attributable to increased fat consumption, increased caloric intake during growth, low fiber, vegetable, and fruit consumption, and other lifestyle factors including exercise, alcohol, and smoking. African American men are more likely to develop prostate cancer compared with Caucasian menContinue reading “More breast and prostate cancers among African American women and men”
Vitamin D reduces risk of uterine fibroids
The consistency of findings for questionnaire and biomarker data, the similar patterns seen in blacks and whites, and the biological plausibility provide evidence that sufficient vitamin D is associated with a reduced risk of uterine fibroids. Uterine leiomyomata (also known as fibroids) are benign tumors of uterine smooth muscle that are characterized by overproduction ofContinue reading “Vitamin D reduces risk of uterine fibroids”

Higher vitamin D dietary intake is associated with lower risk of Alzheimer’s Disease
The 7-yr follow-up study concluded that higher vitamin D dietary intake was associated with a lower risk of developing AD among older women. Hypovitaminosis D is associated with cognitive decline among older adults. The relationship between vitamin D intakes and cognitive decline is not well understood. Our objective was to determine whether the dietary intakeContinue reading “Higher vitamin D dietary intake is associated with lower risk of Alzheimer’s Disease”
