Improving China's acid rain control strategy
Scientists are reporting the first evidence that China's sharp focus on reducing widespread damage to soil by acid rain by restricting sulfur dioxide air pollution may have an unexpected consequence: Gains from that pollution control program will be largely offset by increases in nitrogen emissions, which the country's current policy largely... view more...

Potential candidate chemical for antidepressant effects of exercise found
The antidepressant effects of exercise may be down to a chemical called phenylethylamine, reports a pilot study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Although research suggests that exercise is an effective antidepressant, exactly how it works has not been clear. The study focused on 20 healthy young men, average age 22. The young men did... view more... (2001-09-26)

Groundbreaking study on complex movements of enzymes
A groundbreaking study has revealed in great detail how enzymes in the cell cooperate to make fat. These enzymes are integrated into a single molecular complex known as fatty acid synthase. This complex is regarded as a potential target for developing new anti-obesity and anti-cancer drugs. view more (2009-02-12)
Negative effects of plastic's additive blocked by nutrient supplements
Experiments in animals have provided additional and tantalizing evidence that what a pregnant mother eats can make her offspring more susceptible to disease later in life. view more (2007-07-31)
Use of acid-suppressive medications associated with increased risk of hospital-acquired pneumonia
Hospitalized patients who receive acid-suppressive medications such as a proton-pump inhibitor have a 30 percent increased odds of developing pneumonia while in the hospital. view more (2009-05-27)
Iron supplement as treatment for anaemia in infants
In Vietnam, nearly 60% (1) of children under two years old suffer from anaemia owing to iron deficiency. This is a disease which affects their growth and psychomotor development and reduces their resistance to infections. The iron deficit stems essentially from a diet poor in the easily assimilated form of this element. Rice broth, traditionally... view more... (2003-05-22)
Gains in the fight against acid aspiration lung injury
Doctors are gaining new leverage in the fight against lung injury caused by acid reflux. The paper by Bonnans et al., "Lipoxin A4 regulates bronchial epithelial cell responses to acid injury," appears in the April issue of The American Journal of Pathology and is accompanied by a commentary. view more (2006-05-03)
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)
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...

Studies highlight little known, but potentially serious, manifestations of acid reflux
Many people may not realize that symptoms such as chronic cough or chest pain can be caused by acid reflux into the esophagus, because they do not experience classic heartburn symptoms or acid regurgitation. view more (2007-10-15)
A new way to treat colon cancer?
Researchers at University of Utah's Huntsman Cancer Institute have discovered a new target for possible future colon cancer treatments - a molecule that is implicated in 85 percent of colon cancer cases. view more (2006-10-10)
New evidence that people make aspirin's active principle -- salicylic acid
Scientists in the United Kingdom are reporting new evidence that humans can make their own salicylic acid (SA) - the material formed when aspirin breaks down in the body. view more (2008-12-23)
'Polypill' improves survival rates for heart disease sufferers, says University study
A 'polypill' made up of a combination of drugs could extend the lives of thousands of patients with coronary heart disease, say researchers at The University of Nottingham. view more (2005-05-09)
Mayo Clinic studies find association between acid reflux and esophageal cancer
Two new Mayo Clinic studies draw attention to the risk factors and possible genetic basis for Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer (adenocarcinoma). view more (2006-05-24)
Oxidized form of a common vitamin may bring relief for ulcerative colitis
New research published in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology finds retinoic acid may alleviate ulcerative colitis and similar irritable bowel diseases. view more (2009-10-01)
New study indicates that people may need more dietary choline than previously thought
A new study published in the May issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition indicates that the current recommended Adequate Intake (AI) for choline may, in fact, be inadequate for some people. view more (2007-05-24)
