Kahnawake is a Mohawk community located on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River near Montreal. A comprehensive study was conducted in 1996-1997 to address the local concern regarding health risks of contaminant exposure associated with freshwater fish consumption. Forty-two participants, including most of the identified active fishermen (n=33), were interviewed. Walleye, perch, bullhead, and smallmouth bass were the species most consumed. Average daily intake of locally caught fish was 23 g/day. Nutrient and contaminant levels of locally collected fish were analyzed. Fish were good sources of protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids (particularly omega-3 fatty acids), calcium, zinc, and iron. Levels of cadmium, lead, arsenic, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and other chlorinated pesticides were at least 10 times lower than the guideline levels. Mercury levels of some predatory fish exceeded the guideline of 0.5 microgram/g. Average daily intakes of all contaminants were below the guideline levels by a factor of 10 except for mercury. Average mercury intake rate was about one-third that of the guideline level (200 micrograms/week). Contrary to residents' perception, Kahnawake fish were not particularly contaminated. In view of the nutritional as well as cultural benefits, fishing and fish consumption may be promoted. 1999 Academic Press.

A strain of Lactobacillus plantarum, DSMZ 12028 (Deutsch Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen), isolated from a Portuguese dry fermented sausage, "chourico", was found to produce true lipase, producing free fatty acids from triolein (olive oil). This enzymatic activity was found in whole cells, but was negligible in comparison to lipolytic activity in culture supernatant. Therefore, only extracellular activity was studied. The effect of pH, temperature and glucose concentration on extracellular lipase production was studied in continuously stirred tank reactors, the first time this technology has been used to study the production of this enzyme in lactobacilli. Maximum lipase production was achieved at a pH of 5.5 and 30 degrees C and was kept at a significant level over a wide range of dilution rates (0.05-0.4 h-1); the production of lipase was still significant for low pH values, temperature and glucose concentration, conditions that are close to the ones present during chourico ripening. The effect of glucose concentration was also studied in a batch system. The control of lipase production was found to be related both to glucose concentration in the medium and to the growth rate/dilution rate. Glucose concentration was found to be important for fast lipase production, although it did not influence the maximum lipase activity reached in a batch culture.

Chronic physiologic hyperinsulinemia impairs suppression of plasma free fatty acids and increases de novo lipogenesis but does not cause dyslipidemia in conscious normal rats.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity are characterized by fasting hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance with respect to glucose metabolism, elevated plasma free fatty acid (FFA) levels, hypertriglyceridemia, and decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. An association between hyperinsulinemia and dyslipidemia has been suggested, but the causality of the relationship remains uncertain. Therefore, we infused eight 12-week-old male catheterized conscious normal rats with insulin (1 mU/min) for 7 days while maintaining euglycemia using a modification of the glucose clamp technique. Control rats (n = 8) received vehicle infusion. Baseline FFAs were 1.07+/-0.13 mmol/L, decreased to 0.57+/-0.10 (P < .05) upon initiation of the insulin infusion, and gradually increased to 0.95+/-0.12 by day 7 (P = NS vbaseline). On day 7 after a 6-hour fast, plasma insulin, glucose, and FFA levels in control and chronically hyperinsulinemic rats were 32+/-5 versus 116+/-21 mU/L (P < .005), 122+/-4 versus 129+/-8 mg/dL (P = NS), and 1.13+/-0.18 versus 0.95+/-0.12 mmol/L (P = NS); total plasma triglyceride and cholesterol levels were 78+/-7 versus 66+/-9 mg/dL (P = NS) and 50+/-3 versus 47+/-2 mg/dL (P = NS), respectively. Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) + intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and HDL2 and HDL3 subfractions of plasma triglyceride and cholesterol were similar in control and hyperinsulinemic rats. Plasma FFA correlated positively with total (r = .61, P < .005) triglycerides. On day 7 after an 8-hour fast, hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps with 3-3H-glucose infusion were performed in all rats. Chronically hyperinsulinemic rats showed peripheral insulin resistance (glucose uptake, 15.8+/-0.8 v 19.3+/-1.4 mg/kg x min, P < .02) but normal suppression of hepatic glucose production (HGP) compared with control rats (4.3+/-1.0 v 5.6+/-1.4 mg/kg x min, P = NS). De novo tissue lipogenesis (3-3H-glucose incorporation into lipids) was increased in chronically hyperinsulinemic versus control rats (0.90+/-0.10 v 0.44+/-0.08 mg/kg x min, P < .005). In conclusion, chronic physiologic hyperinsulinemia (1) causes insulin resistance with regard to the suppression of plasma FFA levels and increases lipogenesis; (2) induces peripheral but not hepatic insulin resistance with respect to glucose metabolism; and (3) does not cause an elevation in VLDL-triglyceride or a reduction in HDL-cholesterol.

Localization of serotonin and its possible role in early embryos of Tritonia diomedea(Mollusca: Nudibranchia).

A classical neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT) was detected immunochemically using laser scanning microscopy at the early stages of Tritonia diomedeadevelopment. At the one- to eight-cell stages, immunolabeling suggested the presence of 5-HT in the cytoplasm close to the animal pole. At the morula and blastula stages, a group of micromeres at the animal pole showed immunoreactivity. At the gastrula stage no immunoreactive cells were detected, but they arose again at the early veliger stage. Antagonists of 5-HT(2) receptors, ritanserin and cyproheptadine, as well as lipophilic derivatives of dopamine blocked cleavage divisions or distorted their normal pattern. These effects were prevented by 5-HT and its highly lipophilic derivates, serotoninamides of polyenoic fatty acids, but not by the hydrophilic (quaternary) analog of 5-HT, 5-HTQ. The results confirm our earlier suggestion that endogenous 5-HT in pre-nervous embryos acts as a regulator of cleavage divisions in nudibranch molluscs.

The average human scalp is covered by approximatey 100,000 hair follicles. Each hair undergoes
hair cycle and normally 50-100 hairs randomly fall out a day, which is unnoticeable because lost hair is replaced by as many new hairs springing up daily. Hair loss results from the fall out of hair from the hair follicle. Alopecia or excessive, premature hair loss is the condition caused by many factors.
Loss of hair itself does not pose critical health problems because biological role of human hair is relatively marginal. Hair on our scalp protects the head from mechanical shock, heat loss, and exposure to UV-light. The eyelashes and eyebrowes protect the eyes, and hair in the ear canal or the nasal passages help filter out particles and pathogens, thus protecting our internal organs.
However, hair does play important social role: it is one of the major determinants of our appearance and identity in daily life. Fullness of hair also implicates or manifests physical integrity and youthfulness of the person. Losing hair could have more than just emotional impacts on individuals.
The hair is a unique organ that goes through a characteristic cycle consisting of an immature phase, a growing phase called anagen, a transitional phase between the growing phase and the resting phase called catagen, and finally a resting phase called telogen in which the hair stops growing, waiting to fall out. 85-90% of hairs on our body are in anagen phase or growing phase, which lasts anywhere from two to five years. This phase is followed by a short regression phase, or catagen, which lasts 2-3 weeks. Approximately 1% of hair follicles are in catagen. Approximately 10-15% of hair follicles are in the resting phase, the telogen, which lasts about 3-5 months. Hair follicles typically goes through 10-20 asynchronous cycles during the lifetime.
Persistent loss of more than 150 hairs would consist a state of hair loss, or alopecia, albeit it could be temporary.
DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands.
DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones)
or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
Our bodies produce decreasing amount of DHEA as we get older.
