Researchers from the German Sport University Cologne in Germany found that non-steroidal and tissue-selective anabolic agents such as Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are being sold on the black market for their performance enhancing qualities. The availability of authentic SARMs was recently demonstrated for the first time by the detection of the drug candidate Andarine in a product sold via the Internet. http://www.physorg.com/news177839683.html Medicine & Health Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:30:01 EST news177839683 Several studies have shown that lipid peroxidation stimulates collagen production in fibroblasts and hepatic stellate cells (HSC), and plays an important role in the development of liver fibrosis. Hepatoprotective effects of green tea against carbon tetrachloride, cholestasis and alcohol induced liver fibrosis were reported in many studies. However, the hepatoprotective effect of green tea in dimethylnitrosamine (DMN)-induced models has not been studied. http://www.physorg.com/news177760503.html Medicine & Health Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:20:18 EST news177760503 (PhysOrg.com) -- Drinking green tea can help prevent the formation of large kidney stones, report Chinese scientists in the Royal Society of Chemistry journal CrystEngComm. http://www.physorg.com/news177318374.html Chemistry Fri, 13 Nov 2009 07:40:02 EST news177318374 Green tea extract has shown promise as cancer prevention agent for oral cancer in patients with a pre-malignant condition known as oral leukoplakia, according to researchers at The University of Texas M.

The non-invasive technique combines high-intensity light from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and a lotion made of green tea extract. It works ten times faster than a similar anti-wrinkle treatment that uses LEDs alone, the researchers say. Their study is scheduled for the Oct. 7 issue of ACS' Crystal Growth & Design. http://www.physorg.com/news171745364.html Medicine & Health Wed, 09 Sep 2009 20:03:50 EST news171745364 (PhysOrg.com) -- An animal study at Purdue University has shown that adding ascorbic acid and sugar to green tea can help the body absorb helpful compounds and also demonstrates the effectiveness of a model that could reduce the number of animals needed for these types of studies. http://www.physorg.com/news171728383.html Chemistry Wed, 09 Sep 2009 15:30:01 EST news171728383 A group of chemicals found in many fruits and vegetables, as well as tea, cocoa and red wine, could protect the brain from Alzheimer`s disease, a  dementia expert will tell scientists at a conference today (Friday). http://www.physorg.com/news166429234.html Medicine & Health Fri, 10 Jul 2009 07:21:52 EST news166429234 According to results of a study published in Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, men with prostate cancer who consumed the active compounds in green tea demonstrated a significant reduction in serum markers predictive of prostate cancer progression. http://www.physorg.com/news164622666.html Medicine & Health Fri, 19 Jun 2009 09:33:26 EST news164622666 Once a day, Matthew Hudson takes a square of chocolate mixed with green-tea extract and lets it dissolve in his mouth. http://www.physorg.com/news163849051.html Medicine & Health Wed, 10 Jun 2009 10:37:47 EST news163849051 A new review published in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics assessed whether certain modifications in diet have a beneficial effect on the prevention of prostate cancer.
