LOUISVILLE, CO, September 13, 2011 (Press-News.org) Join the Community
In support of this effort, Insulite Labs will donate $1 to the PCOSA (the Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Association) for every person that "likes" their Facebook Insulite PCOS page during the month of September. The Facebook Insulite PCOS Community offers their members cutting-edge medical research, informative articles and support for those with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and those who care about them. As a sign of appreciation to all their Facebook fans, Insulite Labs will also offer special product pricing during September.
Although Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) was first identified in 1935 (as the Stein-Leventhal Syndrome), obtaining an accurate diagnosis of this hormonal problem can be difficult, as the symptoms, and their severity, vary from one woman to the next. While relatively little is still known about PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), it is estimated that between 5 and 10 percent of females are afflicted with this condition, including females as young as 8 years old!
PCOSupport was founded in 1997 as a volunteer organization aimed at helping women cope with the devastating symptoms of PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). Some of these symptoms include: ovarian cysts, hair loss, excessive facial or body hair growth, high cholesterol, irregular menstruation and weight gain, among others. Without proper treatment, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) can result in more serious conditions, including endometrial cancer, obesity, diabetes and infertility. For many women, these symptoms are not only painful and debilitating, but they also represent a heartbreaking obstacle to their dreams of starting a family.
"It is sad to think about the number of female adolescents and adult women that suffer from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and have gone undiagnosed," commented the Insulite Labs spokesperson, Katie Humphrey. "By partnering with the PCOSA and working together in raising awareness, we are hoping to educate the public - and the medical community - about this condition and offer a faster and more accurate diagnosis as well as a better quality of life for the women, and their families, living with this disease."

About Insulite Laboratories
Insulite Laboratories was established in 2001 in Boulder, Colorado USA, to research, develop and test a scientifically-based, multi-layered approach to addressing the problems associated with Insulin Resistance (IR), a potentially dangerous imbalance of blood glucose and insulin. Reversing the condition requires a complete, specialized system which incorporates potent nutraceuticals (a natural herb, vitamin, mineral or other nutrient used medicinally); a tailored nutrition plan; an exercise plan designed to increase insulin sensitivity; a component that addresses carbohydrate addiction; and an extensive support network.
Recognizing that there are millions of people who need this kind of systematic approach to reversing Insulin Resistance (IR), Insulite Laboratories has, over the past ten years, developed individual systems for PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), Excess Weight Gain/Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X), Pre-Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes.

Gene therapy kills breast cancer stem cells, boosts chemotherapy
2011-09-13
HOUSTON -- Gene therapy delivered directly to a particularly stubborn type of breast cancer cell causes the cells to self-destruct, lowers chance of recurrence and helps increase the effectiveness of some types of chemotherapy, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center reported in the Sept. 13 edition of Cancer Cell.
In cellular and mouse studies, scientists found the gene mutation BikDD significantly reduced treatment-resistant breast-cancer initiating cells (BCICs), also known as breast cancer stem cells, by blocking the activity of three proteins ...

Stimulation of female genital regions produces strong activation of various brain sites
2011-09-13
A new study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine reveals that for the first time, stimulation of the vagina, cervix, or clitoris was shown to activate three separate and distinct sites in the sensory cortex.
Some sexuality experts have claimed that the major source of genital sensation is from the clitoris, with relatively little sensation produced by vaginal or cervical stimulation.
Researchers led by Barry R. Komisaruk, B.S., Ph.D., of Rutgers University, used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to map sensory cortical responses to clitoral, vaginal, ...

High-fat diet and lack of enzyme can lead to heart disease in mice
2011-09-13
PHILADELPHIA - It's no secret that a high-fat diet isn't healthy. Now researchers have discovered a molecular clue as to precisely why that is.
Writing in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, Mitchell Lazar, MD, PhD, the Sylvan Eisman Professor of Medicine and director of the Institute for Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and colleagues, describe that mice lacking a gene-expression-controlling enzyme fed a high-fat diet experience rapid thickening of the heart muscle and heart failure. This molecular ...

SAFEPED helps cities fix dangerous intersections
2011-09-13
Traffic planners and engineers worry about "black spots" — intersections that experience a high incidence of traffic accidents. But when it comes to designing safer roads, they lack effective tools to determine what turns a junction into a danger zone for cars and pedestrians alike.
Now Ph.D. student Gennady Waizman of Tel Aviv University's Geosimulation Lab at the Department of Geography and the Human Environment and Porter School of Environmental Science has developed SAFEPED, a computer simulation that integrates robotics and statistics on driver and pedestrian behavior ...
