Vitamin E stimulates phosphatidylserine synthesis in the hippocampus and improves cognitive function at old age
Abstract: Aged humans and animals demonstrate cognitive decline. Improvement of short-term memory performance in aged beagles with a nutraceutical supplement containing phosphatidylserine (PS) and vitamin E has been demonstrated. The purpose of the present study was to examine if alpha-tocopherol acetate could alter PS metabolis..

Neuroticism and Vascular Response to Mental Load
Abstract: Various personality traits are thought to have an influence on stress reactivity. The studies aimed at elucidating the association between neuroticism and cardiovascular response to stress have produced contradictory data. The aim of the present study was to compare the vascular responses to mental load in low neurotic..

Yawning: Thompson Cortisol Hypothesis Discussed
Abstract : Yawning is a scientific conundrum that has baffled scientists for decades. Whilst the origin and mechanism of yawning may be understood, its presence and frequency in a number of neurological disorders is not clearly understood. The Thompson Cortisol Hypothesis (2011) proposes a link between yawning and blood cortisol ..

Lipid Profiles and Platelets Counts of Pre-eclamptic women in Selected Rural Areas of Northern Nigeria
Abstract: Pre-eclampsia is one of the most common and potentially life-threatening complications of pregnancy. It affects five to eight percent of all pregnancies and is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality and preterm delivery In North East and North western Nigeria, ignorance and misconception about the disease play..

Characterization of the Effects of One Maximal Repetition Test on Muscle Injury and Inflammation Markers
Abstract: We assessed the influence of the one repetition maximum (1RM) bench press exercise on the temporal profile of markers of muscular injury (creatine kinase - CK - activity) and inflammation (interleukin-2 - IL-2, IL-1β, tumoral necrose factor-a - TNF-α, IL-6, and C-reactive protein - CRP). Participants were 11 healthy ..

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Increases Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Transcription In Huvec Cells
Abstract: Although it is known that VEGF increases eNOS protein, the mechanisms responsible remain unclear. To determine if VEGF alters eNOS transcription, human umbilical vein endothelial cells were transfected with reporters under the control of the eNOS promoter and stimulated with VEGF165. VEGF significantly increased eNOS-m..

The Contrary Impact Of Diabetes And Exercise On Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Function
Article: IntroductionCardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus patients (NIDDM). Although originally thought to be a metabolic problem, widespread systemic complications are now recognized. The cardiovascular complications include intermittent claudication, atherosclerosi..
