“She discovered the link between a rare mutation in the PCSK9 gene and extremely low cholesterol levels, which led to the development of PCSK9 inhibitors, potent cholesterol-lowering drugs. Peter Libby, MD – Researches vascular biology, atherosclerosis, and preventive cardiology.”

“FTA: > Teenage boys with symptoms of depression and raised levels of the stress hormone cortisol are up to 14 times more likely to develop major depression than those without these traits, Cambridge researchers have found. - See more at: http://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/biomarker-for-depression-could-improve-diagnosis-and-treatment#sthash.kJadrhZ4.dpuf”

“The actigraphs revealed that participants with a less robust circadian rhythm, as evidenced by features including reduced activity and drowsiness during the day and fragmented sleep, had an increased risk of developing PD over the subsequent 11-year period.”

(https://academic.oup.com/jn/article/148/6/861/4992079?login=true) Conversely, evidence suggests that consumption of red meat increases colorectal cancer risk by 20 to 30 percent (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4698595/).

“FTA: > Gender differences do exist in young drivers when it comes to safety, a study finds. Gender is often related to what type of severe or fatal crash a young male or young female driver will be involved in. Researchers hope that the findings contribute to an improved understanding of crashes as well as help develop educational materials targeted more toward young drivers and each gender.”

“FTA: > Sugar consumption affected memory and was linked to brain inflammation in juvenile rats, researchers report. "The brain is especially vulnerable to dietary influences during critical periods of development, like adolescence," remarked a corresponding author of the study.”

“FTA: > Babies receiving poor nutrition in the womb tend to be smaller at birth, which has been linked to the development of obesity and other health problems later in life. Researchers continue to discover other consequences related to undernutrition during pregnancy.”

“Davidson reported that five minutes of daily Healthy Minds Program practice for 28 days produced a significant decrease in interleukin-6 (IL-6), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, measured three months after the formal intervention ended and compared with an untreated control group.”

“Authors of a 2021 study recruited 50 participants (between ages 18 and 75 years) who were not consuming dietary supplements or large quantities of olive oil (greater than one tablespoon per day).”

“DNA damage & DNA repair As organisms age, accumulation of DNA damage may drive processes of aging and the development of age-related diseases. PARP enzymes, however, detect DNA damage and initiate a repair response by signaling other DNA-repair enzymes.”
