Molecular basis of the hepatic control of cholesterol metabolism

Article Abstract:

The molecular basis of the hepatic control of cholesterol metabolism is discussed by a large panel of nutritionists, molecular and cell biologists, students of cell signaling, physiologists, epidemiologists, and other kinds of physicians. The cell cycle, regulation of protease, and other possible mechanisms of regulation are considered. A patient who might suffer from a fatal disease should be informed, and in some case there are effective interventions, but genotyping cannot be offered as a service when it can be seen that gene markers are not functionally operational in an absolute way. Health insurance companies have an interest in knowing what genetic tests have been done on a potential client. In some countries, but not all, there are regulations about this issue.

Vitamin K-dependent proteins in the developing and aging nervous system

Article Abstract:

A study of the biologic role of vitamin K in the brain may shed light on the mechanisms of normal and pathologic development and aging of the nervous system. Vitamin K's role seems especially important during the brain's development.
