PMID: 25452863 PMCID: PMC4212557 DOI: 10.1136/bmjdrc-2014-000017 Abstract Objective: Considering the increasing number of clinical observations indicating hyperglycemic effects of statins, this study was designed to measure the influence of statins on the uptake of glucose analogs by human cells derived [...]

Authors: Pietrocola F, Malik SA, Marino G, Vacchelli E, Senovilla L, Chaba K et al. PMID: 24769862 PMCID: PMC4111762 DOI: 10.4161/cc.28929 Abstract Epidemiological studies and clinical trials revealed that chronic consumption coffee is associated with the inhibition of several metabolic diseases as well as reduction in overall and cause-specific mortality. We show that both natural [...]

Auhtors: Bernstein J Abstract Big Pharma’s focus on blockbuster cancer drugs squeezes out research into potential treatments that are more affordable. Says one researcher: “What is scientific and sexy is driven by what can be monetized.” Source: https://www.propublica.org/article/where-are-the-low-cost-cancer-treatments Archive: https://archive.is/ZAKcn

Auhtors: Lindqvist PG, Epstein E, Landin-Olsson M, Ingvar C, Nielsen K, stenbeck M, Olsson H PMID: 24697969 DOI: 10.1111/joim.12251 Abstract Background: Sunlight exposure and fair skin are major determinants of human vitamin D production, but they are also risk factors for cutaneous malignant melanoma (MM). There is epidemiological evidence that all-cause mortality is related to [...]

Auhtors: Vyazovskiy VV, Delogu A PMID: 24598308 DOI: 10.1177/1073858413518152 Abstract The overall function of sleep is hypothesized to provide "recovery" after preceding waking activities, thereby ensuring optimal functioning during subsequent wakefulness. However, the functional significance of the temporal dynamics of sleep, manifested in the slow homeostatic process and the alternation between non-rapid eye movement (NREM) [...]

Auhtors: Nieuwdorp M, Gilijamse PW, Pai N, Kaplan LM PMID: 24560870 DOI: 10.1053/j.gastro.2014.02.008 Abstract Intestinal microbes regulate metabolic function and energy balance; an altered microbial ecology is believed to contribute to the development of several metabolic diseases. Relative species abundance and metabolic characteristics of the intestinal microbiota change substantially in those who are obese or [...]

Authors: Sinha RA, Farah BL, Singh BK, Siddique MM, Li Y, Wu Y et al. PMID: 23929677 DOI: 10.1002/hep.26667 Abstract Caffeine is one of the world's most consumed drugs.

Authors: Younger J, Parkitny L, McLain D PMID: 24526250 PMCID: PMC3962576 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-014-2517-2 Abstract Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) has been demonstrated to reduce symptom severity in conditions such as fibromyalgia, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, and complex regional pain syndrome. We review the evidence that LDN may operate as a novel anti-inflammatory agent in the central nervous [...]
