«Drugs like morphine hijack the

When the NGF - rich solution was withdrawn from that side chamber, the nerve fibers that had extended into it began to degenerate, even though the neuronal
cell bodies in the
central NGF - containing chamber persisted in good condition.
Our goal is to use a new imaging system to monitor damage caused by AD to the brain region that contains the insulated axons (analogous to cables) connecting the neuron
cell bodies (analogous to the
central processing unit of a computer).

body's immune system as it is the main site in which T
cells are generated.

central question: «We want to know - what's the least amount of gravity plants can detect to cause the falling of heavy [starchy]
bodies in their
cells?»
Myelin is generated by specialized
cells, oligodendrocytes in the brain and spinal column (the
central nervous system, or CNS), and Schwann

body (the peripheral nervous system).
Creatine plays a
central role in the transport and storage of energy in every human
body cell.

cells that represent the
body of memory referred to as your «gut feelings.»
For those suffering from lead or other heavy metal poisoning, a protective diet that avoids processed foods and emphasizes the
central components of a nutrient - dense and antioxidant - rich WAPF - style diet is essential (see sidebar).21 Nutritional status shapes susceptibility to lead toxicity in important ways, affecting lead's intestinal absorption; its mobilization, distribution and retention in the
body; and excretion.22 Because oxidative stress is a likely mechanism explaining some of lead's toxic actions, some investigators have begun to explore whether natural antioxidants and trace minerals may help mitigate lead - induced
cell damage.17 Specifically, researchers in Spain found that administration of vitamins A, B6, C and E along with zinc modulated some of the negative effects of lead exposure in rat pups, confirming the influence of nutritional factors on health outcomes following lead exposure.17 Vitamin D also should be a major component of a protective diet.
Phosphorus is part of every human

central to our health.
Carbohydrates supply energy to the
