A review of nutrition in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

29 Sep 2009 Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a recessive X linked genetic disorder characterised by progressive muscle weakness and reduced muscle tone. Affecting only boys, it limits life expectancy to approximately 20 years. A literature review was ... Read more...

A single-nucleotide polymorphism in the gene encoding osteoprotegerin is associated with diastolic blood pressure in older men.

22 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Osteoprotegerin (OPG) has been associated with cardiovascular events but currently the mechanisms underlying this association are unknown. OPG is thought to play a role in controlling artery calcification and small studies have suggested ... Read more...

Creatine supplementation prevents the inhibition of myogenic differentiation in oxidatively injured C2C12 murine myoblasts.

30 Aug 2009 Creatine (Cr), one of the most popular nutritional supplements among athletes, has been recently shown to prevent the cytotoxicity caused by different oxidative stressors in various mammalian cell lines, including C2C12 myoblasts, via a direct ... Read more...
