To help distinguish between the different modes of action that have been proposed for PPs, it is obviously important to know how much PPs can accumulate in the brain, if any at all. However, reliable data on PP uptake into the brain of animals are limited as many studies failed to report...
HbA1c must be used thoughtfully and in combination with traditional glucose criteria when screening for and diagnosing diabetes.” So what are we to make of the conflicting advice about HbA1c? How low should we go? The answer: It depends on how you get there. The recent American College of...
