How Menopause Affects Cholesterol —And How to Manage It
Kelly Officer, 49, eats a vegan diet and shuns most processed foods.

Neuroprotective effects of theobromine in transient global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rat model
In this study, neuroprotective potential of theobromine (TBR) was evaluated in 2-vessel occlusion transient global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (tGCI/R) rat model. Rats were treated with TBR (50, 100 mg/kg, p.o.) for 7 successive days, and subjected to bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (20 min) or sham surgery after last dose of TBR. Severe neurological deficits accompanied by brain infarction, blood-brain barrier abnormalities, and oedema were noted in rats subjected to tGCI/R, and these effects were prevented by TBR. TBR protected against lipid peroxidation and enhanced glutathione level in brain against tGCI/R....

This Under-Utilized Drug Is Actually Critical for Treatment-Resistant Depression
Many people with clinical depression have tried an array of medication and still feel sick.
