- Here"€™s The Rundown On Type 2 Diabetes
By: Ashley Ford | - What is Diabetes?
Basically type 2 diabetes is a lifelong disease. It happens when a bodys cells cannot use insulin the right way and/or when the pancreas isnt capable of making enough insulin. Insulin ultimately allows blood sugar or glucose to enter your bodys cells for energy. If the insulin is not available to do its job it causes too much sugar to build up in the blood. Eventually this overstock of sugar in the blood can cause damage to your eyes, heart, blood vessels, ...

- Is Breast Cancer Genetic?
By: Fallas | - While a tremendous amount of research has been done on the causes of breast cancer, an exact breakdown by percentages or some such measure is still not completely accurate. Hormone levels and those levels related to age are factors. Diet and heredity are also among the most important indicators of breast cancer probability.
The hormones in question are estrogen and progesterone. Any levels significantly different from the average of the females at the age the woman is, represents an ...

- Genetic Depression
By: Jacob Brown | - There are endless theories about the cause of depression, but it all boils down to three big ones: genetics, brain chemistry, and stress. While each one of these can exist on its own, one thing is certain: If you have a genetic predisposition to depression, then there's a greater chance that if you will end up with a chemical imbalance or in a stressful environment, then you'll be more likely to develop a depressive disorder.
Here's one opinion on how genetics can be responsible for ...

- Cancer And Genetics, Is There Really A Connection
By: Alan-nz | - We all believe that genetics play an important part in why there is so much cancer nowadays. When one is informed the reason theyve got cancer was because of genetics they have a feeling of despair and helplessness and it was all because of whom they were descended from and bad luck. The facts are, this information might not be true and blaming faulty genes passed down from your parents or grandparents for your cancer is but an excuse to cover up the ignorance of the real cause.

- Cause Of High Blood Pressure: Could Genetics Play A Part?
By: Eddie Lamb | - Many people want to know the cause of high blood pressure. That's because even the most healthy people sometimes find themselves with unmanageable levels and doctors are unsure of why. That's because genetics may play a very important part in the cause of high blood pressure. Of course, for those who don't lead healthy lifestyles, genetics might not have anything to do with it. It's the lifestyle choices people make that often determines how high their blood pressure gets. To be sure, however, y ...

- Do Muscle Building Genetics Limit Muscle Gain And Fat Loss?
By: Francesco A. Castano | - Unrealistic expectations have proven to be a major obstacle for many who pursue muscle building or fat loss, as bodybuilding far too often becomes a pursuit of becoming someone else, as opposed to working towards the genetic potential that each of us has been born with. We may frequently see individuals on TV, in magazines, or on the Internet who have the bodybuilding physique we aspire towards, so we somehow feel that by weight lifting and dieting a certain way, we can develop an identical bod ...

- Genetic Factors Contributing To Obesity
By: Daniel Beasley | - Research has shown that if both parents are obese, there is a 71 percent chance that their children will be obese. If one of the parents is obese, there is a 42 percent chance that their children will be obese. Furthermore, if neither of the parents are obese, there is an 8 percent chance that their children will be obese.
Some researchers believe that children inherit their body structure from their parents. Children of bigger built parents (endomorphs) are usually big and children of n ...

- Myths And Fears In Relation To Life Insurance And Genetics
By: Mike Armstrong | - Several myths relate in one way or another to discussions about genetic information and life insurance. The first deals with the linkage between the terms "genetics" and "heredity." When people hear the phrases genetic disease or genetic test, most automatically think of inherited disease or tests for them. Whereas this would have been correct a few years back, scientists are learning that most if not all diseases have a molecular basis and that genetic disorders may be either inherited or acqui ...

The first place to start with the cause of ADD or ADHD is genetics. It is a very genetic disorder.

- New Hereditary Hair Loss Gene Discovered
By: Hairlossline.com | - Scientists at Bonn and Dsseldorf Universities investigated more than 500,000 positions in the human genome and found a gene variant which occurs clearly more repeatedly in bald men than in control individuals.

- What Is Albinism?
By: Peter Hutch | - The word albinism refers to a group of inherited conditions. People with albinism have little or no pigment in their eyes, skin, or hair.

- Causes And Symptoms Of Achondroplasia
By: Peter Hutch | - Causes
Most people with achondroplasia have average-size parents, which mean that the cause of achondroplasia is from a new mutation in the FGFR3 gene. Scientists do not know why this mutation occurs.
Achondroplasia is inherited by an autosomal dominant gene that causes abnormal cartilage formation. Autosomal dominant inheritance means that the gene is located on one of the autosomes (chromosome pairs 1 through 22). This means that males and females are equally affe ...

- Changing The Information Flow From Your Dna Can Change Your Life
By: Bruce Forciea | - When James Watson and Francis Crick first discovered the structure of DNA in 1953 they thought they had discovered the secret of life. This complex nucleic acid was capable of storing all of the information necessary to produce and maintain a living organism. The science of genetics was born and moved toward a complete understanding of the gene culminating in the genome project which mapped the human genome in 1993.
Our genes determine what our bodies look like and how they work. ...

By: Bruce Forciea | - An exciting new class of drugs has been recently approved by the FDA for the treatment of certain types of cancers. These drugs work differently than other drugs because they turn on and off sections of DNA in order to inhibit tumor growth. The drugs bring us closer to directly affecting the information that controls the human body; the information resident in the DNA.
One such drug, Zolinza (Vorinostat) produced by MERK pharmaceuticals was approved for the treatment of a form of ...

- Why Genetics Isn't So Important If You Want To Gain Muscle Weight

By: Wysong | - Everyone eats so everyone has an opinion about food. But if health is the objective, mere opinion doesn't count nor does fad or majority rule.
Most people think the average cooked diet based upon official food pyramids is just fine. Some eat predominantly fast food. Others advocate veganism (eating only plant foods), or lacto-ova vegetarianism (plants plus milk and eggs). There are also proponents of special foods such as fresh juices, soybean products and macrobiotic cooked gr ...

Many people see this as beneficial others see this as tampering with nature.
