Sugar High: Diabetes The Killer Disease

Written by Charlene J. Nuble


Continued from page 1

Recent studies have shown that genetics, fetal history, obesity, lack of physical activity, diet high in fat, and stress may influence inrepparttar development of this form of diabetes. Also, genetic studies have shown that association of some genes is in factrepparttar 143495 cause of Type 2 diabetes.

Now on torepparttar 143496 most important question – is it treatable?

There is still no cure for diabetes but it can be managed. Some ofrepparttar 143497 ways to manage diabetes is through injection of insulin inrepparttar 143498 body, careful meal planning, blood glucose monitoring, and exercise.

There are some recent medical breakthroughs that may help inrepparttar 143499 curing of diabetes. One isrepparttar 143500 transplantation of beta cells (the insulin producing cells) which has been successful although with some side effects. Another treatment isrepparttar 143501 pancreas transplantation. This is not recommended treatment for diabetes unless there is a need for a kidney transplant as well. Another approach isrepparttar 143502 genetic manipulation although this is still under study. In this particular treatment, insulin genes are inserted to cells that are not producing insulin to make them produce insulin.

Mechanism of Action of Alprazolam

Written by Kathy Jones


Continued from page 1

Alprazolam or generic xanax medication enhancesrepparttar action of human body's GABA (Gamma-Amino Butyric Acid). GABA isrepparttar 143494 nervous system's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, found inrepparttar 143495 brain and spinal cord. Neurotransmitters enablerepparttar 143496 brain cells or neurons to transmit impulses from one to another. Impulses are released from one neuron to other neurons by electrical signals. The action of GABA is just opposite to neurotransmitters, it tells neurons to slow down. About 40% ofrepparttar 143497 millions of neurons all overrepparttar 143498 brain respond to GABA. Underrepparttar 143499 influence of GABArepparttar 143500 neurons slow down or stop working. This means that GABA has a general soothing or calming influence onrepparttar 143501 brain: it is in some waysrepparttar 143502 body's natural hypnotic and tranquillizer. This natural action of GABA is augmented by benzodiazepine, which thus exert an extra (often excessive) inhibitory influence on neurons for general calming and quieting effect onrepparttar 143503 brain. Alprazolam enhancesrepparttar 143504 activity of GABA but not increaserepparttar 143505 nervous system's biological synthesis of GABA. Generic Xanax is more than 80% protein bound and is absorbed byrepparttar 143506 human system. Its benzodiazepine based metabolites are excreted primarily in urine and supported by sweating, saliva, faeces and breast milk. Alprazolam acts as an anti-depressant inrepparttar 143507 human nervous system by controlling anxiety attacks and panic disorders. It operates widely inrepparttar 143508 brain, reducing emotional reactions, fear, tension, memory, thinking, control of consciousness, muscle tone and coordination within nervous system.
