HORMONES AND AGEING: Ageing can be viewed as a variable process resulting from a disorderliness of regulatory mechanisms that results in reduced robustness of the organism to intercurrent stress and disease. There is the erosion of the orderly neuroendocrine feedback regulation of the secretion of LH, FSH, ACTH, and GH. These changes are manifested as menopause, andropause, adrenopause, and somatopause. The ageing related disruption of metabolic processes is associated with a higher prevalence of diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cancer in older individuals. Currently, it seems fashionable to undermine the role of growth hormone, as was to earlier to highlight it.There is a need for balanced view based on different  studies rather than confusion arising out of individual studies and papers.science.qj.net/Growth-hormone-is-NOT-the-solution-to-youth/pg/49/aid/79852 - 56k - Cached - Similar pages -

The Scientist : C. elegans role in understanding genetics30-Oct-2007
C. elegans provides an ideal an attractive model for genetic and biochemical experimentation. Nothing wrong to say that C. elegans is micro-guinea pig for the modern day biological experimentation. It is a multi-cellular animal, yet small, ~ 1mm in length, and transparent throughout its life. It is easy to generate mutations in C. elegans. It is known that most of the endocrine signaling and genetic pathways identified in C. elegans persist with evolution in the more complex organisms including human-being. This article provides an insight into the complexity of genome of this simple multi-cellular organism. A passing interest in science in general and genetics in particular is one thing, but a concrete effort of several years to identify the basics is really commendable.

We are fast urbanizing, period. But we are not urbanizing in a wholesome manner. About sports, I agree with your views.

Good afternoon!

We would like your permission to print your letter in our January issue.  Below is the text as it would appear. 

 

 A savior for science?

>Many recent articles in newspapers, tabloids and web posts can easily be dubbed as “Expectations from Obama” – including your recent news article, “Obama good for science, experts say” (1). Man, he has aroused so many expectations from us! There is so much to be done in so many spheres. But having so many expectations is not fair. In the difficult times we live now, we are trying hard to find a savior. What if Barack Obama is not our savior?

>The "two heart attacks" should definitely point to a serious side effect of the drug, especially in a person with no history of heart disease. What is more disturbing is that the person in question was in good health to participate in the drug trial and did so only to clear his debts. This only means that his participation in the trial was not fully voluntary. This may also mean that information about his health statusmbefore entering the trial might not have been "good health." We should stop labeling the outcome to "an unpredictable biological action" of the drug every time.
