By admin, on March 6th, 2011
There is an emerging school of thought that is supported by evidence in research that cancer could be a nutritional disease. Cancer cells are known to plump for aerobic glycolysis and substrate phosphorylation energy system when mitochondria, the power generator of cellular energy are impaired from exotoxins or endotoxins. Normal cells use oxidative phosphorylation . . . → Read More: Cancer – a nutritional disease?

ADAPTIVE THERMOGENESIS – A CAUSE OF RESISTANT WEIGHT CONTROL.
By admin, on September 28th, 2010
Wonder why it is so difficult for some of your patients to lose weight? There have been many studies that documented substantial reduction in calorie diet intake of some patients and yet their weight remains the same.

Total plaque score by CT angiography does not correlate with NCEP and Framingham risk scores
By admin, on April 4th, 2011
It is interesting to note that both the NCEP and Framingham risk scores correlate poorly with physical plaque burden on CT coronary angiography in 1653 patients with no history of CAD but who were experiencing atypical chest pain, were smokers, or had a family history of CAD, high blood pressure, or hypercholesterolemia. Amount of . . . → Read More: Total plaque score by CT angiography does not correlate with NCEP and Framingham risk scores

Understanding Apoproteins and lipid transport and regulation
By admin, on April 4th, 2011
Lipoproteins are specialized proteins with a single spherical layer of phospholipids and cholesterol membrane and content of cholesterol esters, TG and proteins. The protein concentration determines the density of the lipoprotein. HDL has the highest protein content while chylomicron with the lowest protein. Another critical structure that is in the membrane are the apoproteins . . . → Read More: Understanding Apoproteins and lipid transport and regulation

Adaptive Thermogenesis in resistant weight control Part II
By admin, on October 12th, 2010
In our last article, we looked at adaptive thermogenesis as a cause of resistant weight control. Adaptive thermogenesis is energy expenditure to produce heat beyond that which is proportional to the amount of overfeeding associated with theoretical costs of an increased body size and a larger food intake. If there is no adaptive thermogenesis which is energy . . . → Read More: Adaptive Thermogenesis in resistant weight control Part II
