12 Mar 2010 at 7:20am Who wouldn’t want to lose up to 15 pounds in two weeks? The new Atkins diet book promises that kind of quick — although arguably harmful — result.

Their article, which calls on authorities to give wider support for the innovative toilet technology, is in ACS' Environmental Science & Technology, a semi-monthly journal... (Source: Water Quality / Air Quality News From Medical News Today) by Water Quality / Air Quality News From Medical News Today 12 Mar 2010 at 1:00am A puzzle that has baffled scientists for centuries - why some birds appear to be male on one side of the body and female on the other - has been solved by researchers. The research, which involved studying rare naturally occurring chickens with white (male) plumage on one side and brown (female) plumage on the other, sheds new light on the sexual development of birds... (Source: Water Quality / Air Quality News From Medical News Today) by Molecular Nutrition 11 Mar 2010 at 5:00pm This study determined the effects of a hexane/ethanol extract of G. uralensis (HEGU), which contains undetectable amounts of glycyrrhizin, on the apoptosis of androgen-insensitive DU145 cells. HEGU induced apoptosis and increased the levels of cleaved caspase-9, caspase-7, caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). HEGU also induced mitochondrial membrane depolarization and cytochrome c release to the cytosol. HEGU increased the levels of Fas, death receptor 4 (DR4), cleaved caspase-8, Mcl-1S, and truncated Bid proteins. A caspase-8 inhibitor suppressed HEGU-induced apoptosis. An active fraction of HEGU was separated via column chromatography and the structure of the active compound isoangustone A was identified via 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. Isoangustone A increased apoptotic cells, the ... by Molecular Nutrition 11 Mar 2010 at 5:00pm In this study, we examined whether diallyl disulfide (DADS) and diallyl trisulfide (DATS) protect endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activation against oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) insult and through what mechanism. We found that DADS and DATS reversed the suppression of eNOS Ser1177 phosphorylation by ox-LDL, and wortmannin abolished the reversal by DADS and DATS. Similarly, the inhibition of cellular cGMP and nitric oxide production by ox-LDL was reversed by DADS and DATS (p (Source: Molecular Nutrition) by Molecular Nutrition 11 Mar 2010 at 5:00pm Epidemiological studies reveal that fruit consumption reduces the prevalence of airway inflammation and childhood asthma. In particular, blackcurrant polyphenolic extracts have been shown to alleviate lung inflammation. Since IL-4-stimulated eotaxin-3 (CCL26) secretion is a major factor in the continuous eosinophil recruitment observed in atopic asthma, our focus was to evaluate the effectiveness of blackcurrant polyphenolic compounds on CCL26 secretion in human alveolar epithelial cells. Our results indicate that a proanthocyanin-enriched blackcurrant extract (BC-P), but not anthocyanin-enriched blackcurrant extract suppressed both IL-4- and IL-13-stimulated CCL26 secretion in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore pre-incubation of cells with BC-P caused a time-dependent suppression of IL-...

The signaling pathway of LPS-induced NO production was examined using neutralizing antibodies [anti-interferon (IFN)-[gamma] and anti-interleukin (IL-12)] and specific protein kinase inhibitors, as well as others. The activity of PEITC toward NOx production was assessed in mice that received LPS via intraperitoneal administration. The neutralizing antibody of anti-IFN-[gamma], but not anti-IL-12, suppressed LPS-induced NO production by 90%. LY294002, a specific inhibitor of phosphoinositide-3-kinase, suppressed Akt and IFN-[gamma] mRNA expression up-regulated by LPS, whereas PEITC exhibited a similar inhibition profile. Furthermore, oral administration of PEITC signif... by Nutrition & Metabolism 11 Mar 2010 at 5:00pm Conclusion: Excessive dietary fat and/or increased levels of luminal bile juice, but not genetic obesity, are responsible for the increase in small intestinal permeability resulting from the suppression of TJ protein expression. (Source: Nutrition & Metabolism) by Nutrition & Metabolism 11 Mar 2010 at 5:00pm Context: Caveolins are 21-24 kDa integral membrane proteins that serve as scaffolds to recruit numerous signaling molecules. Specific subclasses of caveolae carry out specific functions in cell metabolism. In particular, triglycerides are synthesized at the site of fatty acid entry in one of these caveolae classes.Objective and Methods: We studied the expression of caveolin-1 (CAV-1) gene in association with metabolic variables in 90 visceral and 55 subcutaneous adipose tissue samples from subjects with a wide range of fat mass, in the stromovascular fraction (SVC) and isolated adipocytes, and during differentiation of human adipocytes. Results: CAV-1 gene expression was significantly decreased in visceral adipose tissue (v-CAV-1) of obese subjects. v-CAV-1 was positively associated with s... by Water Quality / Air Quality News From Medical News Today 11 Mar 2010 at 9:00am The InterAcademy Council (IAC), a multinational organization of the world's science academies, has been requested to conduct an independent review of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) processes and procedures...

While general knowledge was good, further education is required to help consumers interpret trans fat information. PMID: 20205970 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research) by Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research 10 Mar 2010 at 6:02pm Conclusions: The majority of Canada's ethnic groups identified in the CCHS 2.2 fell short of the recommended FVI target. This low-intake status might be a risk factor for common long-term diseases. PMID: 20205971 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research) by Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research 10 Mar 2010 at 6:02pm Conclusions: Knowing how children think about food choices will further our understanding of the disconnect between nutrition knowledge and dietary behaviours. Understanding conflicting pressures that influence children's healthful lifestyles may enhance communication about these topics among parents, educators, and children. PMID: 20205972 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research) by Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research 10 Mar 2010 at 6:02pm Conclusions: A framework is presented, and discrepancies with phase 2 results indicate areas for professional development, such as leadership, mentorship, and outcome measurement.
