of our social interactions. Some people have even evolved to be more aggressive because as as a society we reward aggression. One known genetic activity that predisposes people to physical aggression is a low activity form of monoamine oxidase. Monoamine oxidase is an enzyme that deconstructs key neurotransmitters. According to Brown university this is much more common in countries with a history of war. Even though darwinism isn’t easily applicable to the modern man because of the complexities

determined. The results of the present study shows that the aqueous extract of TBB possess antioxidant activity through the DPPH free radical scavenging activity. The preliminary phytochemical investigation indicates the presence of flavonoids and polyphenols. The results are found to be significant when compared with the standard ascorbic acid. Further studies are required to determine the mechanism and isolation of active constituents involved in the antioxidant activity. Key words: Terminalia belerica

Another type of injury to the gallbladder is caused by lipid peroxidation. Lipid peroxidation is a process that is naturally occurring in the body in minuscule amounts‚ mainly by many oxygen species effects‚ such as hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide. These species readily assault the polyunsaturated fatty acids in the membrane‚ which induces a self-propagating chain reaction. The destruction of the membrane lipids are hazardous for the sustainability of cells (Mylonas‚ 1999). This was seen

What is Cancer? All living things are comprised of a variety of cells‚ such as kidney cells‚ brain cells and skin cells. Cancer develops when a particular cell mutates‚ then begins to grow and divide. Eventually‚ these cells form a mass called a malignant tumor‚ which often starts to invade surrounding tissue and organs. Super Foods It is thought that up to one third of cancer related deaths could be diet related. Many of the foods we eat today can in fact be harmful to the cells in our bodies

an individual they deemed as a threat. In addition‚ these men have attempted rape‚ committed arson and exposed themselves in public. The abnormal behaviours exhibited by these men are linked to the gene responsible for the productions of monoamine oxidase-a‚ an enzyme which destroys neurotransmitters in the brain. This particular family study does seem to suggest that genetics play an important role in antisocial or criminal behaviour highlighted by the violence and aggression portrayed by the individuals

Compared with other kinds of tea‚ green tea is richest source of catechins. Epidemiological studies have showed consumption of green tea can reduce the risks of cardiovascular diseases. However‚ due to the species of green tea and the health condition of participants‚ the amount of green tea being consumed per day varies from studies. Some experiments both in vitro and in vivo have been conducted in order to know how green tea reduce the risks of cardiovascular diseases. However‚ the results are

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is a group of enzymes bound to the mitochondria; they regulate neurochemistry by degrading monoamine neurotransmitters. (Edmondson et al‚ 2004)15 Too much MAO activity is thought to be a cause of depression (Meyer et al‚ 2006)16; therefore MAOI’s

Hydrogel based controlled release formulations: Designing considerations‚ characterization techniques and applications. Abstract Hydrogels have evolved over the last decade as materials of choice in varied biomedical applications. This is associated with the inherent biocompatible nature of the hydrogels. The modulation of the properties of the hydrogels is easily possible due to the availability of polymers of varied chemistry and physical properties. This review discusses the pharmaceutical
