2. Calcium is the most abundant mineral found in bone August 18, 2009 Calcium is the most abundant mineral found in bone and comprises approximately 33% of bone mineral. Optimal calcium intakes are essential across the life cycle to meet the daily intrinsic requirements of calcium required for skeletal growth and to offset urinary, dermal, and endogenous fecal calcium losses. When dietary intakes of calcium are not sufficient to maintain circulating calcium concentrations and/or when the losses of calcium from the body are excessive, bone calcium will be resorbed to maintain calcium homeostasis. Because calcium is essential for the structural integrity of bone, ... (read more) Author: sulamita berrezi

3. What is Diabetic Ketoacidosis? May 19, 2009 Diabetic ketoacidosis is a life threatening condition that all diabetics are susceptible to and is brought on by a deficiency of insulin. Type 1 diabetics are more likely to suffer from this condition, but all diabetics should be aware of its symptoms and life-threatening affects. The mortality rate is about two percent of the people who get it. Ketoacidosis occurs when glucose cannot be used as an energy source by the cells of the body, or when endogenous sources of energy are not available. When this happens the body will begin to break down fats and proteins for it energy source, in ef... (read more) Author: Andrew Bicknell

4. Relationship between Phytoestrogen and Mammary Glands Development April 30, 2009 Phytoestrogens are very important in herbal products because they are made up of 100% natural ingredients making their composition with powerful estrogenic characteristics. The most significant estrogenic characteristics of Phytoestrogen remain in its power to act like endogenous estrogens, by facilitating the development of natural mammary glands. At one point of early foetal life of the epithelial cells, derived from the epidermis of the area that will be converted later in halo, the mesenchyme proliferates. In humans, 20 cords or less are formed, they develop to be converted into cond... (read more) Author: Ines Khalsi

7. Antioxidants and Phytonutrients Medicines October 09, 2008 A number of oxygen-radicals are formed in our body during process of metabolism of nutrients in body cells. These oxygen-radicals (oxidants) are highly reactive (due to free electrons) and can damage DNA molecules, proteins and cholesterol rich LDL molecules. In defence, body produces substances to prevent damage caused by oxidants or free radicals. These endogenous antioxidants may be inadequate when there is excessive formation of oxidants. This results in disease processes. Numerous studies have shown that oxidative stress plays important role in causation of atherosclerosis, Parkinson's di... (read more) Author: Francis Adam

8. Guanidinoacetate methyltransferase deficiency September 12, 2008 Guanidinoacetate methyltransferase deficiency (GAMT) is a genetic disorder that first and foremost affects the nervous system and muscles. Guanidinoacetate methyltransferase deficiency creatine biosynthesis imperfection, leads to depletion of creatine and phosphocreatine, and accumulation of guanidinoacetate in brain. Creatine in the person body is derived from two sources: the diet and endogenous synthesis. These disorders generally show in the first few months of life, when development of new motor and cognitive skills becomes delayed or stops. Finally, affected children may drop previously ...

9. Febrile Seizures - Information on Febrile Seizures June 02, 2008 Febrile seizures occur in young children at a time in their development when the seizure threshold is low. This is a time when young children are susceptible to frequent childhood infections such as upper respiratory infection, otitis media, viral syndrome, and they respond with comparably higher temperatures. Animal studies suggest a possible role of endogenous pyrogens, such as interleukin 1, that, by increasing neuronal excitability, may link fever and seizure activity. Febrile seizures aren't harmful to a child. Even though seeing your child have a febrile seizure is frightening, y... (read more) Author: james Sameul

10. Mental Stress Treatment October 08, 2007 Stress is a psychological and physiological response to events that upset our personal balance in some way. Mental stress is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular events, possibly because of acute increases in endogenous catecholamines. Brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilation has been used for noninvasive assessment of macrovascular endothelial function. It is caused by catecholamine-induced increases in heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) that result in enhanced myocardial oxygen demand. Severe stress reactions can result from a catastrophic event or intense experience such... (read more) Author: Juliet Cohen

The goal of the Suboxone program is total rehabilitation of the patient including withdrawal from all drugs— suboxone included Opiates are addictive. There is no way to take them without the body adapting and becoming dependent on them. Most people have heard of ‘endorphins’. Endorphins are produced in the human body, and when released, block pain. Endorphins are often referred to as ‘endogenous opiates’ because of their role in pain sensation, even though they have no relation to poppies or opium, and are structurally quite dissimilar. ...

17. Toxic Twentieth Century, What Can We Do? January 01, 2007 Polluted Human Body The human body becomes toxic or polluted from both external (exogenous) sources and internal (endogenous) sources. The most common external pathways of toxicity are from inhalation (smoking, air pollution, dental amalgam fillings, sick buildings), ingestion (chemical residues on food, chemicals in water, drugs) injection (vaccinations, flu shots, tattoos), absorption from chemicals from synthetic fabrics, paints, plastics, pesticides and chemical fertilizers sprayed on lawns, and irradiation from medical x-rays, nuclear power plants, bomb testing, uranium mine tailings, ce...

18. L-Citrulline April 18, 2006 L CitrullineL-Citrulline like L-arginine and L-Ornithine L-Citrulline is an amino acid that supports the body in optimizing blood flow through its conversion to L-arginine and then nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is involved in vasodilatation and low levels are associated with mental and physical fatigue and sexual dysfunction. L-Citrulline (like L-Arginine and L-Ornithine), is a metabolite in the urea cycle and is involved in liver detoxification and vasodilation pathways. It is produced in the urea cycle when carbamoyl phosphate is converted to L-citrulline in the ornithine carbamoyltransferase ... (read more) Author: Jhons Jhons
