Antioxidants for Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Posted on August 19, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

The cause of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a major cause of loss of vision after the age of 60, is unknown. The two types of AMD are wet and dry. In wet AMD, the tissues have characteristic new blood vessels (neovascular). In dry AMD, the tissues are atrophic (shriveled). Recent studies report the following risk […]

Lead and Cadmium and Oxidative Stress.

Posted on August 2, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

Lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are the most common toxic metals in our environment. Some pollution is natural, some occurs from man’s activities, such as coal and mineral oil burning, smelting, mining, alloy processing, paints, and other industrial processes. Also, Cd exposure is increasing because of increased recycling of electronic equipment. Pb and Cd are […]

Posted on July 18, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

Gout, an inflammatory disease of hyperuricemia (high uric acid,) is caused by monosodium urate crystals in joints and other tissues. It is associated with the metabolic syndrome and the consumption of high purine foods. The risk of gout is increased by high protein diets and by alcohol. Low purine diets are difficult for many people […]

Sleep Insufficiency Among Electronics Workers.

Posted on June 19, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

The researchers of this article proposed to study the effects of extremely low frequency electromagnetic forces (ELF-EMFs) in electronic equipment repairers, especially at 50-60 Hz frequency. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were tested as an indicator of oxidative stress. Melatonin levels were tested to determine the degree of sleep sufficiency in these workers. Melatonin is a hormone […]

Telomerase Activity, Longevity and Lifestyle Changes.

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

Telomeres are DNA-protein complexes at the ends of chromosomes which protect the DNA. DNA cannot divide without adequate telomere maintenance. The telomeres shorten during cell division. The enzyme, telomerase, works against telomere shortening. Telomere shortening is an indicator of cell age, coronary heart disease risk, mortality risk, infectious disease, and many different cancers. Telomere shortening […]

Alpha Lipoic Acid Protects From Chromate Damage.

Posted on December 22, 2010 by Dr. Gary Pack

Chromate, or Cr(6+,) is carcinogenic, probably due to damage to the DNA. Cr(6+) causes free radical formation which is toxic to DNA and can lead to carcinogenesis. Treatment studies of Cr(6+) using N-acetyl carnitine (NAC,) EGCG from green tea, vitamin E and vitamin C show little benefit. Lipoic acid (LA or alpha lipoic acid,) an […]
