From the article: At this week's American College of Surgeons meeting in New Orleans, Derek T. Woodrum, M.D., a U-M resident in general surgery, will present new research results showing that smooth muscle cells from aortas of male rats contain 2.5 times more destructive MMP-9 protein and 10 times the level of MMP-9 gene expression compared to the same cells from female rat aortas. Known to be involved in AAA [abdominal aortic aneurysms] formation, MMP-9 is a cell-digesting enzyme that eats away at the wall of the aorta, leaving it vulnerable to expansion and rupture. However, when Woodrum tr... hormones aneurysm

Currently selected for this coming member's digest (/crowdsponsor) by team member Melisa B. From the article: > Researchers report in the April issue of Cancer Research that the GPR109A receptor is activated by butyrate, a metabolite produced by fiber-eating bacteria in the colon. The receptor puts a double-whammy on cancer by sending signals that trigger cell death, or apoptosis, and shutting down a protein that causes inflammation, a precursor to cancer. [...] > That got the German research team to search for alternative activators of the receptor, resulting in identification of beta-... nutrition cancer diet ketosis fiber butyrate hdac inhibitor

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease that causes cognitive and motor impairments. The motor complications of Parkinson's disease occur due to the damage and death of cells in a brain region called the substantia nigra, leading to insufficient dopamine production. A new report shows how an antioxidant compound found in sesame seeds, called sesaminol, can protect cells from oxidative damage and prevent the development of Parkinson's disease. Oxidative stress is a main driver of cell damage and aging and is the result of normal cellular metabolism. The body produces a number of anti... parkinson's
