AlexandriaM — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 21:01:36 +0000

Dr. Hotamisligil explains, "When mice eat a normal diet, a molecule named PKR (RNA-dependent protein kinase) is silent. However, if a cell containing PKR is bombarded with too many nutrients, PKR grabs other immune system molecules that respond to this attack and organizes a firing squad to shoot down normal processes, leading to insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction."

HIV Prevention using Microbicides

AlexandriaM — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 03:12:51 +0000

“It’s important to study the gel in young women who are sexually active because this is the very population likely to use and benefit most from this kind of HIV prevention approach,” said Ian McGowan, M.D., Ph.D., professor of medicine, Center for Prevention Research at the David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles. “If we are satisfied with the results in terms of the gel’s safety profile we may consider conducting trials that would include more women, and eventually, look to see if the gel can help reduce their chances of acquiring HIV,” Im glad that the research trials are going excetiponally well, and hopefully as this contreception evolves I hope that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves of it's use for consumers.
