Yellow fever is an acute viral hemorrhagic disease. The virus is a 40 to 50 nm enveloped RNA virus with positive sense of the Flaviviridae family. The yellow fever virus is transmitted by the bite o...

Nutrition

Within medicine, nutrition (the study of food and the effect of its components on the body) has many different roles. Appropriate nutrition can help prevent certain diseases, or treat others. In cri...

Luteinizing Hormone LH

Luteinizing hormone (LH), a gonadotropin, stimulates the gonads - in males, the testes, and in females, the ovaries. It is essential for reproduction, and secreted from cells in the anterior pituita...

Alternating-access mechanism in conformationally asymmetric trimers of the betaine transporter BetP

Betaine and Na+ symport has been extensively studied in the osmotically regulated transporter BetP from Corynebacterium glutamicum, a member of the betaine/choline/carnitine transporter family, which...

Human medicines European Public Assessment Report (EPAR): Cystadane, betaine anhydrous, Revision: 4, Authorised

First observation of the Hall effect in a Bose-Einstein condensate

NIST researchers have observed for the first time the Hall effect in a gas of ultracold atoms. The Hall effect is an important interaction of magnetic fields and electric current more commonly associa...

Nocebo effect, not placebo effect: Induced illness studied

Negative suggestion can induce symptoms of illness. Nocebo effects are the adverse events that occur during sham treatment and/or as a result of negative expectations. While the positive counterpart â...

Placebo Effect Could Be Genetic

The placebo effect, where treatments with no active ingredients help to alleviate symptoms in some patients and not others, has been a mystery to medical science for the last 70 years. Now for the fi...

Familial Hypercholesterolaemia patients often inherit small-effect changes in several genes rather than a large-effect mutation in a single gene

Research published Online First in The Lancet provides new evidence that a substantial proportion of individuals with a clinical diagnosis of Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH) inherit a combination...

Lynden, WA (PRWEB) December 14, 2012 Days for Girls International has been declared a Nike Girl Effect Champion for 2013. Winners of the Girl Effect Challenge receive funding, endorsement, and impo...

Discovered: Unexpected cooling effect on climate

University of Manchester scientists, writing in Nature Geoscience, have shown that natural emissions and manmade pollutants can both have an unexpected cooling effect on the world’s climate by makin...

Effect of betaine supplementation on plasma nitrate/nitrite in exercise-trained men.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Betaine, beetroot juice, and supplemental nitrate have recently been reported to improve certain aspects of exercise performance, which may be mechanistically linked to increased...

Decreased Serum Betaine Concentrations in Patients after Bariatric Surgery.

Bariatric surgery significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases but has no effects on hyperhomocysteinemia, the risk factor for atherogenesis. We hypothesize that the decrease in serum bet...

Betaine prevents ethanol-induced oxidative stress and reduces total homocysteine in the rat cerebellum.

Oxidative stress is a hypothesis for the association of reactive oxygen species with cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, we examined whether oral betaine can act as a preventive agen...

Betaine improves non alcoholic fatty liver and associated hepatic insulin resistance: a potential mechanism for hepatoprotection by betaine.

Objective: Non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) is a common liver disease, associated with insulin resistance. Betaine has been tested as a treatment for NAFL in animal models and in small clinical trials...

Effect of dietary betaine supplementation on lipogenesis gene expression and CpG methylation of lipoprotein lipase gene in broilers.

Experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of betaine supplementation on mRNA expression levels of lipogenesis genes and CpG methylation of lipoprotein lipase gene (LPL) in broilers. From 22...
