An analysis of previous studies suggests that for people with a history of vascular disease, folic acid supplementation does not decrease the risk of coronary heart disease or stroke, as has been suggested in some research. view more (2006-12-13)
Acetaminophen or acetylsalicylic acid increases risk of developing chronic kidney failure
People who regularly use high dosages of pain-relievers or antipyretic drugs containing acetaminophen (paracetamol) or acetylsalicylic acid run an increased risk of developing permanent reduced kidney function (chronic renal failure). This was found in a nation-wide Swedish research study published on December 20 in The New England Journal of... view more... (2001-12-21)
Combination treatment enhances tetanus vaccination
In studies with mice, Penn State researchers have shown that a combination of retinoic acid - a product the body makes naturally from vitamin A - and PIC, a synthetic immunity booster, significantly elevates the immune system response to a tetanus shot. view more (2005-09-13)
Producing lamb's meat with low fat content
Reducing the amount of fat in lamb amongst the Navarra variety of sheep in order to breed weightier animals, suitable for market demands and with a lower production cost for the farmer, is the aim of the project being developed by a research team from Navarre Public University's Department of Agricultural Production and Department of Health... view more...

Fat overrides effects of vitamin C
Fats in our stomach may reduce the protective effects of antioxidants such as vitamin C. Scientists at the University of Glasgow found that in the presence of lipid the ability of antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid (the active component of vitamin C), to protect against the generation of potential cancer-forming compounds in the stomach is less... view more...

Researchers create pigs that produce heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids
Researchers report they have created pigs that produce omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to improve heart function and help reduce the risks for heart disease, representing the first cloned transgenic livestock in the world that can make the beneficial compound. view more (2006-03-27)
Recovery from acid rain 'much slower than expected'
Acid rain was one of the world's worst pollution problems of the 1970s and 1980s, affecting large areas of upland Britain, as well as Europe and North America. view more (2007-09-28)
The role of fat as a signal substance
Fat is not only a much-discussed food substance. Fat can also function as a signal substance in the body and activate a special receptor in the cells of important organs like the heart and liver. This opens opportunities for new ways of explaining the genesis of diabetes, a disease that is strongly associated with obesity. This new role for fat... view more... (2003-02-10)
MIT research offers new hope for Alzheimer's patients
MIT brain researchers have developed a "cocktail" of dietary supplements, now in human clinical trials, that holds promise for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-04-28)
Research shows NPD1 protects a key component of vision
Two papers to be published in the Early Edition online of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) the week of July 30-August 3, 2007 report findings that demonstrate that neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1) protects against damage to retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and identifies an important trigger for its production and novel... view more...
