Introduction: What they say A study from the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, Iowa City, Iowa, USA shows that “Regulatory T cells impede acute and long-term immunity to blood-stage malaria through CTLA-4.” This research paper was published, in September 2017 issue of the journal “Nature Medicine” [One of […]
Sugar-based therapy for diabetes (TIIDM): Lactulose (brand name: Cholac, Generlac, Consulose, Duphalac), a drug used in the treatment of constipation and hepatic encephalopathy, increases GLP1R and Caveolin-1 (CAV-1) expression, promotes glucose-induced insulin secretion, improves insulin sensitivity, increases energy utilization, promotes weight loss and protects from diet-induced obesity and TIIDM, via up regulation of its target gene, 27/March/2018, 5.50 am
Introduction: What they say A study from the Comprehensive Diabetes Center and Department of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL shows that “miR-204 Controls Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Receptor Expression and Agonist Function.” This research paper was published, in the 3 November 2017 issue of the journal “Diabetes” […]
Hormonal therapy for Glaucoma: Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxy tryptamine), a hormone that regulates sleep and wakefulness, increases Nmnat1 expression, increases NAD+ levels, improves neuronal dysfunction, and protects against glaucoma via down regulation of its target gene, 27/March/2018, 5.41 am
