U.S. scientists have clarified the role of vitamin E in the body, according to EurekAlert!. The study conducted a team led by Paul McNeil from the Georgia Health Sciences University. Report on their work published in the journal Nature Communications.
Animal experiments carried out at the beginning of last century, have shown that deficiency of vitamin E (which include tocopherols and tocotrienols) leads to muscle atrophy. McNeil and his colleagues decided to clarify what role these substances play in the processes of cell damage muscle tissue (myocytes).
The researchers found that myocytes die as a result of the integrity of their membranes, which is caused by oxidants, especially free oxygen radicals, as well as a mechanical process of muscle contraction under load.
Using laboratory animals, a group of McNeil concluded that alpha-tocopherol acts as an antioxidant, and connects the harmful oxidation products. Vitamin E, as a fat-soluble substance that can also be integrated into cellular membranes, protecting them from damage. In addition, it activates the phospholipids that make up the membrane of cells so that damaged membrane quickly restored.
In another study, researchers found that similar damage to cell membranes may be caused by high glucose levels in animals with diabetes. The result of the alpha-tocopherol was able to eliminate these injuries.

Accidental Drug Overdoses on the Rise Among Kids
No comments · Posted by admin in Uncategorized
Dec. 13, 2011 — Childproof drug packaging isn’t enough to protect children from the rising number of accidental drug overdoses at home, according to the CDC.
Researchers say more than 60,000 young children in the U.S. are treated in emergency rooms each year for accidental overdoses because they got into medicines when their parent or caregiver wasn’t looking.
Those risks may increase during the holidays when visitors leave coats, purses, or suitcases with medications where young children can reach them.
“Parents may not be aware of the danger posed by leaving medications where young children can reach them. In recent years, the number of accidental overdoses in young children has increased by 20%,” Dan Budnitz, MD, MPH, director of the CDC’s Medication Safety Program, says in a news release.
Each year, one in every 150 2-year-olds is treated in an emergency room for an unintentional drug overdose, usually after finding and eating or drinking medications without adult supervision.
Keep Drugs Up and Away
To combat the problem, the CDC and a coalition of health partners are launching a new “Up and Away and Out of Sight” campaign to encourage parents to protect children from accidental drug overdoses.
Since the 1970s, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has required most medications to have child-resistant packaging, an improvement that has saved hundreds of children’s lives. But that may not be enough.
“Even with improvements to packaging, no medication package can be 100% childproof,” Richard Dart, MD, PhD, president of the American Association of Poison Control Centers, says in the release. “Poison centers receive calls every day about young children getting into medicines without adult supervision; that’s why we encourage all parents and caregivers to follow these simple steps to ensure their child’s safety.”
Those steps include:
- Put all medications and vitamins in a place children can’t reach.
- Put medicines and vitamins away every time you use them. Never leave them out on a kitchen counter or at a sick child’s bedside, even if you have to give the medicine again in a few hours.
- Listen for the click to make sure the safety cap on medicines is locked.
- Teach children about medicine safety. Never tell children that medicine is candy to get them to take it.
- Tell guests about medicine safety. Ask house guests and visitors to keep purses, bags, and coats that have medicines in them up and away and out of sight when they are visiting.
- Be prepared in case of emergency. Program the poison control phone number into home and cell phones (800-222-1222).

The best way to strengthen the legs – walking. While walking metabolism, activates muscle activity, improves blood circulation. However, the long walk leads to muscle tension, stagnation and the accumulation of lactic acid that causes sharp pain.
In order to maintain the legs in good condition is not enough to keep them clean. You must do exercises for the capillaries, to cleanse the cells and to saturate them with energy. We must make sure that the foot was always warm, pink color.
