Authors: Leuner B, Caponiti JM, Gould E PMID: 21692136 PMCID: PMC4756590 DOI: 10.1002/hipo.20947 Abstract Oxytocin has been linked to social behavior, including social recognition, pair bonding and parenting, but its potential role in promoting neuronal growth has not been investigated. We show here that oxytocin, but not vasopressin, stimulates both cell proliferation and adult neurogenesis [...]

Authors: Nicolson GL, Settineri R DOI: 10.31989/ffhd.v1i4.134 Abstract Background: Cancer-associated fatigue and the chronic adverse effects of cancer therapy can be reduced by Lipid Replacement Therapy (LRT) using membrane phospholipid mixtures given as food supplements. Methods: This is a review of the published literature on LRT and its uses. Results: LRT significantly reduced fatigue in [...]

Authors: Morselli E, Marino G, Bennetzen MV, Eisenberg T, Megalou E, Schroeder S et al. PMID: 21339330 PMCID: PMC3044119 DOI: 10.1083/jcb.201008167 Abstract Autophagy protects organelles, cells, and organisms against several stress conditions. Induction of autophagy by resveratrol requires the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase sirtuin 1 (SIRT1). In this paper, we show that the acetylase inhibitor [...]

Authors: Sathyapalan T, Manuchehri AM, Thatcher NJ, Rigby AS, Chapman T. PMID: 21325465 DOI: 10.1210/jc.2010-2255 Abstract Context: There is concern whether soy phytoestrogens may affect thyroid function. If true, soy phytoestrogens may be expected to have a greater impact in subjects with subclinical hypothyroidism. Objective: The primary aim was to determine the effect of soy [...]

Authors: Yan S, Ci X, Chen N, Chen C, Li X, Chu X et al. PMID: 21279416 DOI: 10.1007/s00011-011-0307-8 Abstract Background and objective: Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the lungs that is characterised by increased inflammatory cell infiltration into the airways and poor respiratory function. Ivermectin is a semi-synthetic derivative of a family of [...]

Authors: Walle T PMID: 21261636 DOI: 10.1111/j.1749-6632.2010.05842.x Abstract This paper reviews our current understanding of the absorption, bioavailability, and metabolism of resveratrol, with an emphasis on humans. The oral absorption of resveratrol in humans is about 75% and is thought to occur mainly by transepithelial diffusion. Extensive metabolism in the intestine and liver results in [...]

Authors: Duma D, Collins JB, Chou JW, Cidlowski JA PMID: 20940427 PMCID: PMC4772900 DOI: 10.1126/scisignal.2001077 Abstract Males and females show differences in the prevalence of many major diseases that have important inflammatory components to their etiology. These gender-specific diseases, which include autoimmune diseases, hepatocellular carcinoma, diabetes, and osteoporosis, are largely considered to reflect the actions [...]

Authors: Martinez-Devesda P, Waddell A, Perera R, Theodoulou M PMID: 20824844 DOI: 10.1002/14651858.CD005233.pub3 Abstract Background: This is an update of a Cochrane Review originally published in Issue 1, 2007 of The Cochrane Library.Tinnitus is an auditory perception that can be described as the experience of sound, in the ear or in the head, in the [...]

Authors: Klooker TK, Braak B, Koopman KE, Welting O, Wouters MM, Schemann M PMID: 20650926 DOI: 10.1136/gut.2010.213108 Abstract Background: Mast cell activation is thought to be involved in visceral hypersensitivity, one of the main characteristics of the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). A study was therefore undertaken to investigate the effect of the mast cell stabiliser [...]

Authors: Yan XM, Kim CH, Lee CK, Shin JS, Cho IH PMID: 20473377 PMCID: PMC2869457 DOI: 10.4196/kjpp.2010.14.2.71 Abstract To investigate the intestinal absorption of a fibrinolytic and proteolytic lumbrokinase extracted from Eisenia andrei, we used rat everted gut sacs and an in situ closed-loop recirculation method. We extracted lumbrokinase from Eisenia andrei, and then raised [...]
