Common Antiseptic Ingredients Disrupt Mitochondria’s Function, Impair Hormone Response, Study Finds

Imagen
Commonly used in household products, the antimicrobial agents known as quaternary ammonium compounds, or “quats,” were found to inhibit mitochondria function and to impair estrogen signaling. The findings raise serious questions regarding the safety of these products, which include toothpastes, shampoos, and lotions, among many others, as exposure to other mitochondrial-inhibiting drugs is known to increase the risk for Parkinson’s development. The study, “In Vitro Evaluation of Mitochondrial Function and Estrogen Signaling in Cell Lines Exposed to the Antiseptic Cetylpyridinium Chloride,” was published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, a publication of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. “Disinfectants that we are putting on and in our bodies, and using in our environment, have been shown to inhibit mitochondrial energy production and the cellular estrogen response,” biochemist Gino Cortopassi of the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine a

Hopkins Researchers Deliver Blood Samples Using Drone in 161 Mile Journey

Imagen
The last few weeks have been full of natural disasters striking Mexico, islands in the Caribbean, and the United States mainland. Roads are damaged and entire communities have been cut off from help for days at a time, while the potential for infectious diseases to thrive has skyrocketed. Moreover, patients often end up without their prescription medication and some meds that require refrigeration go bad. In many cases, as with people on insulin, this can be a life threatening problem. Drones may soon become part of future rescue missions. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have just demonstrated that they can safely transport blood samples for great distances in a fairly challenging environment. The team used a Latitude Engineering HQ-40 unmanned aerial vehicle with a built-in temperature controlled compartment that takes off and lands vertically. They flew the blood samples above an Arizona desert for up to 161 miles (259 Km) while tracking the payload’s temperature, which s
