Serum cholesterol levels in relation to the incidence of cancer: the JPHC study cohorts.

29 Nov 2009 An inverse association between serum total cholesterol and cancer mortality cast a controversy for cause or result of low cholesterol on cancer risk. Therefore, we examined a total of 33,368 Japanese men and women aged 40-69 years, who were free of ... Read more...

Effects of ginger root (Zingiber officinale) processed to different particle sizes on growth performance, antioxidant status, and serum metabolites of broiler chickens.

29 Sep 2009 A study using 144 one-day-old Arbor Acres broilers was conducted to assess the effects of dried ginger root (Zingiber officinale) that was processed to particle sizes of 300, 149, 74, 37, and 8.4 microm on growth performance, antioxidant status, and ... Read more...
