Super Nutrient’s Liver Surprise
I was one of the first doctors to talk about the incredible benefits of the super-nutrient pyrroloquinoline quinone, or PQQ for short. I was also one of the first doctors to recommend it to patients. Now I recommend this essential nutrient and powerful antioxidant to almost everyone who comes to see me at my wellness clinic. Researchers have only just recently begun to understand the many important roles of PQQ on the body’s cellular processes. Not only does it possess extraordinary energy-giving qualities and have the power to ease nerve pain and battle Alzheimer’s, it has the potential to become the world’s stronge...

Autocrine Effect of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A is Essential for Mitochondrial Function in Brown Adipocytes
The obesity epidemic in the United States, and the accompanying condition of type 2 diabetes, puts a majority of the population at an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases including coronary artery disease, stroke, and myocardial infarction. In contrast to white adipose tissue (WAT), brown adipose tissue (BAT), is well vascularized, rich in mitochondria, and highly oxidative. While it is known that the angiogenic factor VEGF-A is required for brown adipocyte development, the functional consequences and exact mechanism remain to be elucidated.

The increase of core temperature affected the progression of kidney injury by repeated heat stress exposure.
CONCLUSIONS: These studies suggest that kidney injury in heat stress is markedly worsened by increasing core temperature. The studies are consistent with the hypothesis that clinical and subclinical heat stroke may play a role in Mesoamerican Nephropathy. PMID: 31390229 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
