Combination of two neuroprotective therapies shows promise against Alzheimer’s

The combination of two neuroprotective therapies, voluntary physical exercise, and the daily intake of melatonin has been shown to have a synergistic effect against brain deterioration in rodents with three different mutations of Alzheimer’s disease. A study carried out by a group of researchers from the Barcelona Biomedical Research Institute (IIBB), in collaboration with the… Seguir Leyendo Combination of two neuroprotective therapies shows promise against Alzheimer’s

Obese, but metabolically healthy

A person can be obese and metabolically healthy at the same time, which means that this person will have the same mortality risk for heart disease or cancer that people of normal weight. This is the conclusion of a study published in the prestigious journal European Heart Journal. «Obesity is associated with a large number… Seguir Leyendo Obese, but metabolically healthy

Researchers report positive effects of ibuprofen on bone repair after a fracture or surgery

A study conducted at the University of Granada has demonstrated that ibuprofen ­-a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)­- has beneficial effects on bone repair after a fracture or following bone surgery. In vitro tests demonstrated that -unlike other NSAIDs- when a therapeutic dose of ibuprofen is administered, it has no negative effects on the proliferation and… Seguir Leyendo Researchers report positive effects of ibuprofen on bone repair after a fracture or surgery
