Team leader Marta Cerruti, using the tools of the Canadian Light Source, has examined the mineralizedarteriesof genetically modified laboratory mice and found that the pathway in the body that leads to what laypeople call "hardening of the arteries" is not what medical experts previously assumed. ...
Oxygen: Specialized nerve cells within the aorta and carotid arteries called peripheral chemoreceptors monitor the oxygen concentration of the blood and feed back on the respiratory centers. If the oxygen concentration in the blood decreases, they tell the respiratory centers to increase the rate and...
There are many nutrients in mackerels that can help to keep your bones healthy. The most vital one is vitamin D. This vitamin helps in the metabolism of phosphorus and calcium— two minerals your bones need to grow. Getting enough vitamin D can lower your risk of bone loss and fracture....
Coenzyme Q10 (coQ10)is an antioxidant that may reduce oxidative stress (when too many unstable molecules – known as free radicals – are in the body, causing cell damage). Beet root juicehelps increase nitrogen oxides in the blood, which are thought to dilate (open) arteries and reduce art...
The team of neuroscientists at Arizona State University found that LILFU waves boosted the release of neurotransmitters, possibly by opening up sodium and calcium ion channels enough to trigger action potentials, which in turn release neurotransmitters. This means that, without invasive surgery, physicia...

Gout is caused by elevated levels of uric acid, which is a waste product in the body. When levels get too high, it crystallizes, resulting in painful joint deposits in the toes. Vitamin C helps to reduce uric acid levels and can reduce the risk of developing gout by more than 40 percen...
