Your mother was right when she told you to eat your broccoli! New research indicates that certain plant chemicals (phytochemicals) in broccoli may trigger enzyme activity, helping to prevent damage to your cells' DNA. Broccoli is also a source of Vitamin C, folacin, fiber, Vitamin A and potassium.
These little jewels are rich in the B Vitamin folic acid. Recent research has shown the soluble fiber in dry beans as effective as oat bran in helping to reduce cholesterol when used as part of a low-fat, low cholesterol diet. In fact, dry beans contain no cholesterol and are an excellent source of protein, thiamine, calcium and iron.
While tomatoes are high in Vitamin C, they are prized for their lycopene. A powerful antioxidant, lycopene, may lower prostate cancer risk. Cooked and canned tom...

Regardless of the fitness level of the subjects, the interval workout produced superior results in three areas. The amount of fat burned was measured by expired air and was found to be 36 percent higher with interval training compared to steady cycling. Cardiovascular fitness during interval workouts increased by 1 3 percent over that achieved by even tempo exercise. And enzyme activity, an indication of the health of the muscles, increased with the hard-easy workouts.

WASHINGTON, May 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Gaucher disease, a rare enzyme deficiency disorder, is one of many conditions with few approved treatment options for patients. In a study published online today in Blood, the journal of the American Society of Hematology, researchers present positive results of a Phase II clinical trial of eliglustat tartrate, an oral therapy in development to treat Gaucher disease.
Gaucher disease is a genetic disorder affecting an estimated 1 in 50,000 to 1 in 100,000 people in the U.S. population. Gaucher disease occurs when a mutation of the glucocerebrosidase gene causes low activity of that enzyme in the body. As a result, harmful fatty substances accumulate in the liver, spleen, bones, and bone marrow, preventing cells and organs from working properly...

Acetaldehyde is the first active breakdown product (i.e., metabolite) generated during alcohol metabolism. It has toxic properties but also exerts other actions on the body (i.e., has pharmacological properties). Recent studies have shown that the direct administration of acetaldehyde, especially into the brain, induces several effects that mimic those of alcohol. High doses of acetaldehyde induce sedative as well as movement- and memory-impairing effects, whereas lower doses produce behavioral effects (e.g., stimulation and reinforcement) that are characteristic of addictive drugs. When acetaldehyde accumulates outside the brain (i.e., in the periphery), adverse effects predominate and prevent further alcohol drinking. To investigate the role of acetaldehyde in mediating alcohol's effe...
