February 23, 2000 Green tea derivative causes weight loss in rats University of Chicago scientists have found that a major chemical component of green tea caused rats to lose up to 21
percent of their body weight and consume 60
percent less food
after seven days of daily
injections.
When the treatment used in humans (recombinant protein) was applied in mice and directly compared to the mRNA therapy, the mRNA therapy was more effective, maintaining 20
percent more clotting activity four days
after injection.
* Horsepower and torque expected to top previous model (testing is ongoing — check media.gm.com for updates) * NOx emissions reduced at least 63
percent over 2010 models * Quieter operation * High - pressure (30,000 psi / 2, 000 bar) Piezo - actuated fuel system for greater fuel efficiency, improved performance and reduced emissions * Exhaust brake system that enables controlled vehicle slowdown on downhill grades without actuating the brakes * Selective catalytic reduction
after - treatment system using diesel exhaust fluid (DEF)
injection to provide the best overall diesel characteristics and performance — with a range of about 5,000 miles (8,000 km) between DEF refills * Combustion and
after - treatment have been optimized to provide about 700 miles (1,125 km) between diesel particulate filter regenerations — a 75 -
percent improvement over the previous system and significant contributor to improved fuel efficiency, as the regeneration process requires additional fuel * B20 biodiesel capability for an alternative fueling option * Internal revisions that improve durability
