Study analyses physiological parameters of athletes The maximum time an athlete is able to continue climbing to exhaustion may be the only determinant of his/her performance. A new European study, led by researchers from the University of Granada, the objective of which is to help trainers and climbers design training programmes for this type of… Seguir Leyendo Study analyses physiological parameters of athletes
UGR scientists provide early diagnosis of eye disorders through optical technique Researchers from the University of Granada have provided an early diagnosis of certain ocular diseases that are very common today, such as age-related macular degeneration and keratitis, by applying an existing optical technique that, nevertheless, had never before been used for this purpose. Scientists… Seguir Leyendo UGR scientists provide early diagnosis of eye disorders through optical technique

\’Suicide gene E\’ reduces potent drug dosage in cancer patients Researchers at the University of Granada have found a suicide gene, called \’gene E\’, which leads to the death of tumour cells derived from breast, lung and colon cancer, and prevents their growth. The importance of this new gene is that its use to fight… Seguir Leyendo ‘Suicide gene E’ reduces potent drug dosage in cancer patients
Scientists identify and characterize different antioxidant compounds from foods Scientists at the University of Granada have identified and characterized for the first time different antioxidant compounds from foods such as olive oil, honey, walnuts and a medicinal herb called Teucrium polium. They have used two new techniques, capillary electrophoresis and high resolution liquid chromatography, that… Seguir Leyendo Scientists identify and characterize different antioxidant compounds from foods
Childhood exposure to environmental pollutants could impact development in the long-term Children who eat fish more than 3 times per week show a worse performance in the general cognitive, executive and perceptual-manipulative areas. Those with higher levels of exposure to mercury show a generalised delay in cognitive, memory and verbal areas. Mercury is a contaminant… Seguir Leyendo Childhood exposure to environmental pollutants could impact development in the long-term
\’Hormone of darkness\’ melatonin regulates sleep effectively Melatonin, a natural hormone segregated by the own human body, is an excellent sleep regulator expected to replace somniferous, which are much more aggressive, to correct the sleep/wakefulness pace when human biological clock becomes altered. Those are the conclusions of a research work carried out by Darío Acuña-Castroviejo… Seguir Leyendo ‘Hormone of darkness’ melatonin regulates sleep effectively
