Quercetin Fights the H1N1 Flu

    Back in September, 2008, a study was published about how quercetin improved the ability of mice to have a reduced susceptibility to contracting the flu. The study was published by The American Physiological Society. Research data produced by the study showed that stressful exercise increased the probability of mice in the research group contracting the flu. But if the mice ingested quercetin, the mice did not become sick with the flu. Quercetin is a naturally occurring substance found in fruits and vegetables. Quercetin is a close relative to resveratrol, and can be found in onions, red wine, blueberries, tea, grapes and broccoli. Earlier research has shown quercetin to have anti-viral properties in cell culture experiments and some animal studies. None of the earlier studies examined the flu or how it could be treated.

The Brain Mediates Resveratrol’s Anti-diabetic Actions

Resveratrol, a bioflavonoid, improves diabetes in diabetic rodents when they ingest it orally. This has been substantiated by various research studies. But there was very little known how these beneficial changes are mediated in rodent’s body. Now there is evidence from a new study that answers that question. Endocrinology, journal of The Endocrinology Society, reports the brain has a key role in mediating resveratrol’s anti-diabetic actions. This finding is potentially pointing the direction for future orally-delivered diabetes medications which target the brain. Read the rest of this entry »

Ravages of Diabetes Can Be Prevented

Diabetes is one of the monster chronic diseases that have become an industry worth billions of dollars and Dr. Rowen has touched on a way to block some of the ravages caused by Type 1 & Type 2 Diabetes. At first I was not interested in reading his article, as I do not have diabetes, but a voice told me to read it anyway. He made his point in the first sentence, “….. You have a very high risk of getting severe vascular disease. In particular, high blood sugar leads to more Age Related Glycation (AGE) productions. …suffer a loss of an important vascular protecting enzyme called prostacyclin – - – up to 70%.” This is bad, but it does not end there, because you can also suffer tissue damage caused by an increase in monocyte hexosamine-modified proteins. Yes, this is scary but there is an effective method for overcoming these dangers. Read the rest of this entry »
