Metabolic regulation and redox activity as mechanisms for angioprevention by dietary phytochemicals.

30 Oct 2009 The existence of active principles in numerous foods and beverages has been recognized by traditional medicines worldwide after centuries of empirical trial. Epidemiological studies support the concepts linking diet to survival, particularly in the ... Read more...

The effect of sex peptide and calorie intake on fecundity in female Drosophila melanogaster.

12 Oct 2009 The accessory gland proteins (Acps) of the male Drosophila cause changes in the behavior and physiology of female flies. Sex peptide (SP) is one of the Acps that initiates many changes, including an increase in egg production. The data presented ... Read more...

Nutrition, brain aging, and neurodegeneration.

12 Oct 2009 The onset of age-related neurodegenerative diseases superimposed on a declining nervous system could enhance the motor and cognitive behavioral deficits that normally occur in senescence. It is likely that, in cases of severe deficits in memory or ... Read more...
