A NEW CAUSE OF OBESITY

By recent study it was explained that with a constant caloric intake, there is an rise obesity due to the reduction of exercises and also increased BMI.

Uri Ladabaum,M.D said that the abdominal obesity prevalence increased among the over-weighted and normal weighted.

However it controvesial among the normal-weighted but it will increase the molrtality rate in over-weighted. But now in trends there is light of risks but there will be in the increase in the waist circumference and independent of BMI.

In the latest meet of International Society of Endocrinology and Endocrine Society in chicago , a new reasearch  on the testing of stress hormone coristol measure.

In the presentation of ICE/ENDO it is said that by a simple tube, some software and a saliva sample we can mesure the stress hormone levels.

Lead investigator Dr. Joel Ehernkranz, director of diabeties and endocrinology said that one can measure the stress hormone by using the smartphone in an easy and an inexpensive way.
Ehernkrank at intermountain healthcare inMurray, Utay also said that the parsts of united states and rest world thats lacks facilities can use this smartphone test at a cost $5 and it is suitable for all type phones.

This diagonistic test can help us to find out the disorders likeexcess or reduction of the hormone coristol, it is very useful to the people across the globe.

The researches said that they introduced this unexpensive and easy smartphone test for the people to check their coristol level at any time and at any place whenever they want by using their cellphones.

It is an unbreakable and reusable device consists of a case, a light pipe and a lens but it doen't need any battery power.

HEALTH ADVANTAGES FOUND IN ADIPONECTIN

HEALTH ADVANTAGES FOUND IN ADIPONECTIN

By a new study the  secret in the human body is revealed which is the hormone adiponectin secreted by the bone marrow fat tissues where responsible for the more number of benefits.
In another study which is led by the Michigan university says this hormone will help us in the insulin sensitivity maintanence, reduction of fat, cardio vasclar related problems,diabeties and obesity related cancers.

They are important findings as they are found in adipose tissue of the bone marrow, they also play a protective role and also influencing role during calorie restriction, said by Ormand MacDougald Ph.D.
The notable thing is that these adipose tissue and adiponectin can be increased in humans having anorexia, chemotheraphy patients , patients undergoing radiation treatment for ovarian or endometrical cancer.

William Cawthon Ph.D also said that the adipose tissue had bad reputation in past as it decrease the bone mass but now it serves as a endocrine organ which influence the metabolism.

Donate Blood Save Your Life FROM CARDIAC DISEASE

Donate Blood Save Your Life FROM CARDIAC DISEASE

For shift workers there is a important news by donating blood you can avoid heart diseases. Austrain reasearches had found that jetlag has an unbearable effect on red blood cells and also deals with heart disease.

But this effect can be reduced or balanced by new, fresh red blood cells which can be produced by blood donating.This blood donating may protect the shift workers from heat disease.

In Austria scientist Dr. Margit Egg had worked on Zebra fish in a active day which is similar to human in activities. This fish can work minimum seven from maximum 21 hour as like that of the shift workers.
The Egg also explain that they jetlagged animals will have large number of old red blood cells. This large blood cells may get strucked in the spleen and liver and there they encounter the WBC cells.

Usually in our body there is a balance between the removed old cells and newly produced cells. But jetlag affect this removal process and increase the count of the old cells.It paved the way to heart diseases.

This is one of main reason for the heart problems of the shift workers. There is also another effect when the function of the cells decreased it will reduce the oxygen carring capavbity of the cells.
The zebrafishes are lessly affected by the jetlag since they were simultaneously exposed to the oxygen was limiting which is known as hypoxia.

This hypoxia will give rise to the production of new red blood cells.Which is observed in erythropoitein, the production of the cells is an rhythemic activity and it is get changes during hypoxia conditions.
