We have studied the action of cholinergic agonists on outer hair cells, both in situ and isolated from the cochlea of the guinea pig, combining new fast CCD technology for Ca2+ imaging and conventional patch-clamp methods. Carbachol (1 mM) activated a current with a reversal potential near -70 mV and a bell-shaped I-V curve, suggesting that it was a Ca2+ activated K+ current. In a few cells, this current was preceded by a transient inward current, probably owing to an influx of Ca2+ and other cations through the acetylcholine (ACh) receptors. The amplitude of the Ca2+ signal was maximal in a circumscribed region at the basal pole of the cell and decreased steeply towards the apical pole, compatible with Ca2+ influx and/or Ca2+ induced Ca2+ release at the cells base. The time course of the Ca2+ rise was fastest at the base, but it was still slightly slower, and more rounded, than that of the K+ current. In some recordings the K+ current was observed without any measurable change of intracellular Ca2+. The K+ current was potentiated (18%) by caffeine (5 mM), and decreased (19%) by ryanodine (0.1 mM) in the majority of cells tested. The results are discussed in terms of a labile intracellular Ca2+ store located at the base of the cell, close to the Ca2+ permeable ACh receptor channels and Ca2+ activated K+ channels, whose contribution to the Ca2+ rise occurring in the region of the channels is variable, and probably dependent on its ability to refill with Ca2+.

Caffeine exerts potent chemopreventive action against 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP)-induced rat mammary gland carcinogenesis, but acts as a co-carcinogen in the colon. The present work was performed to clarify mechanisms underling these organ dependent actions. Female F344 rats were given PhIP and caffeine, PhIP alone, caffeine alone or no treatment for 4 weeks. PhIP-DNA adduct formation in the colon was significantly higher in the PhIP+caffeine than in the PhIP group, but levels in the mammary glands showed no inter-group differences. CYP1A2 mRNA expression in the livers of the PhIP+caffeine group tended to be higher than in either the PhIP or the caffeine alone groups. High mRNA expression for both N-acetyltransferase (NAT) 1 and NAT2 was observed in the colon, with less expression in the mammary gland. The levels of four DNA-repair enzymes were not influenced by the caffeine treatment. In conclusion, only increased level of DNA adducts in the colon partially related to the modifying effects of caffeine on PhIP-induced rat carcinogenesis. Thus, other unknown factors must be contributory.

Daunorubicin cardiotoxicity: evidence for the importance of the quinone moiety in a free-radical-independent mechanism.

Anthracyclines, such as daunorubicin (Daun), and other quinone-containing compounds can stimulate the formation of toxic free radicals. The present study tests the hypothesis that the quinone moiety of Daun, by increasing free-radical production, disrupts sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) function and thereby inhibits myocardial contractility in vitro. We compared Daun with its quinone-deficient analogue, 5-iminodaunorubicin (5-ID), using experimental interventions to produce various contractile states that depend on SR function. At concentrations of Daun or 5-ID that did not alter contractility (dF/dt) of steady-state contractions (1 Hz) in electrically paced atria isolated from adult rabbits, only Daun significantly attenuated the positive inotropic effects on dF/dt of increased rest intervals (PRP; post-rest potentiation) or increased stimulation frequencies. Attenuation was to 98+/-6% at 1 Hz, and 73+/-8 and 67+/-8% for 30 and 60 sec PRP, respectively, and 73+/-3 and 63 +/-3% at 2 and 3 Hz, respectively, for 88 microM Daun (P<0.05, vs pre-drug baseline values, mean +/- SEM). These effects of Daun were similar to those of caffeine (2 mM), an agent well known to deplete cardiac SR calcium. We also examined the effect of Daun in isolated neonatal rabbit atria, which lack mature, functional SR; Daun did not alter the force-frequency relationship or PRP contractions. Additional studies in Ca(2+)-loaded SR microsomes indicated that both Daun and 5-ID opened Ca(2+) release channels, with Daun being 20-fold more potent than 5-ID in this respect. Neither anthracycline, however, induced free-radical formation in SR preparations (assayed via nicking of supercoiled DNA) prior to stimulating Ca(2+) release. Thus, our results indicate that Daun impairs myocardial contractility in vitro by selectively interfering with SR function; the quinone moiety of Daun appears to mediate this cardiotoxic effect, acting through a mechanism that does not involve free radicals.

There are a number of approaches to hair loss problems.
Hair Million is an herbal alternative. It is a formula made of traditional, edible herbs
and has been anecdotally demonstrated the efficacy to ward off hair loss
problems.
There is no singular medical or alternative cure for hair loss since the
biology of hair growth is a highly complicated phenomenon.
It is unknown how Hair Million stops hair loss,
and promotes hair restoration.
The advantages of Hair Million over other approaches are, firstly, Hair Million is comparatively inexpensive,
and secondly, it is made only of traditionally used safe and healthy herbs that promote hair growth
according to Chinese pharmacopoeia. In addition, Hair Million is cardiotonic, meaning that Hair Million consists of herbs
that strengthens your heart, according to Chinese medicine. There is an interesting research paper which correlates baldness
to heart diseases: people with alopecia or hair loss
problems are significantly more likely to develop heart attacks.
