Theoretical Exploration on Biological Metabolism and Substance Cycle (1)

–To analyze the various contradictions in the two kingdom system theory and try transiting to three kingdom system theory Abstract: The rise of microbiology did not bring a corresponding reform in the basic theory of life science, but resulted in various marked contradictions in the traditional two kingdom system theory and asked it to approach to three kingdom system theory. Matter wants to move and microorganisms want to be liberated, that is a strategy problem in the basic theory of life sciences that we have to face and to solve urgently above all.  On the basis of facts, a breakthrough point and method would decide the breadth and depth of the exploration, and also decide the success and failure. Firstly, the reality reflected that some inorganic and organic substances have already presented … Read entire article »

Lose Weight Eating Chocolate?

Write-up by Randy Roth Most men and women believe that eating chocolate is counterproductive to losing weight. Historically, this has been accurate. The chocolate we are accustomed to consuming has been heated, processed, and alkalized. Heating chocolate by itself denatures 80% of its nutritional value, stripping most of the antioxidants away. Couple the heating procedure with the addition of fats, processed sugar, and preservatives and you turn a naturally healthful ingredient into junk food. Conventional chocolate products promote weight gain, not loss. Recent study studies have confirmed the nutritional value of unprocessed dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is full of flavonoids, which are loaded with antioxidants. They have been referred to as “nature’s biological response modifiers” simply because of powerful experimental evidence of their ability to positively affect the body’s reaction to … Read entire article »

Draw Attention Towards Mucoadhesive Buccal Drug Delivery System

1. Introduction Considerable attention has been focused in recent years on the delivery through the oral mucosa of drugs which have a high first pass metabolism (i.e., metabolized to a large extent by the liver during the first pass there through and therefore do not enter the blood stream) or degrade in the gastrointestinal tract. Transmucosal delivery has also been considered for treatment of oral disorders and as a local anesthetic1. Buccal delivery involves the administration of the desired drug through the buccal mucosal membrane lining of the oral cavity. Unlike oral drug delivery, which presents a hostile environment for drugs, especially proteins and polypeptides, due to acid hydrolysis and the hepatic first-pass effect, the mucosal lining of buccal tissues provides a much milder environment for drug absorption2. Other routes, such … Read entire article »
