Functional Variant of C-689T in the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ2 Promoter is Associated with Coronary Heart Disease in Chinese Nondiabetic Han People.

Objective To investigate the association between the polymorphism of C-689T in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ2 (PPARγ2) promoter and coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods This case-controlled study was conducted in nondiabetic Chinese Han people, which enrolled 455 patients with CHD (cases) and 693 subjects without CHD (controls). Data of clinical indexes were collected, including height, body weight, waist circumstance, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), smoking, drinking, physical activity, as well as body mass index (BMI).

Effects of dietary supplementation of certain nutrients on maze performance and biochemical indices in mice after exposure to high +Gz.

Objective: To explore the possible effects of nutritional supplements on brain function as reflected by Water Maze test performance in mice after +Gz exposure.

Method: Mice were arranged into control group (group A), +Gz group without nutritional supplementation (group B) and +Gz plus nutritional supplementation group (group C). Each group contains 12 mice.

[Effects of nutritional intervention on brain functions and its related biochemical indexes in mice exposed to high +Gy].

Objective: To study the effects of nutritional intervention on changes of monoamines in rats brain, certain amino acids in rats serum and maze behaviors caused by high +Gy exposure.

Method: The mice were arranged into control group (Group A), +Gy group (Group B) and +Gy nutritional intervention group (group C). Group A was not exposed to +Gy.
