New findings show Enbrel significantly reduced levels of C-reactive protein

Amgen and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, a division of Wyeth, today announced findings from a retrospective analysis, which demonstrated that ENBREL reduced C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation, in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis following 12 weeks of treatment. Median reduction in CRP levels was 10 times greater in the ENBREL treated group compared to the placebo treated group. These results will be presented today at the American Academy of Dermatology Scientific Meeting in San Antonio, Texas.

   12-01-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered a protein interaction that may explain how the deadly Huntington's disease affects the brain. The findings, published in and featured on the cover of the current issue of Human Molecular Genetics, show how the mutated Huntington's protein interacts with another protein to cause dramatic accumulation of cholesterol in the brain.

   Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, a division of Wyeth, provides comment on the Women's Health Initiative Coronary Artery Calcium Study published today in the New England Journal of Medicine. The study found that younger menopausal women (aged 50-59) who received a standard dose of oral conjugated estrogens had significantly less coronary artery calcification at the end of the study period compared with those taking placebo.

3. Low level of neuronal receptor linked to mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease
   09-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Results of a new study indicate a strong link between the loss of the neuronal receptor LR11and onset of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), often a harbinger of Alzheimer's disease. The findings also show that levels of LR11 in the brain tissue reflect the severity of cognitive impairment and may predict which individuals will progress to Alzheimer's disease.

   UCLA researchers report that omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid, found in fish oil, increases the production of LR11, a protein that is found at reduced levels in Alzheimer's patients and which is known to destroy the the "plaques" associated with the disease.

   Every 23 seconds, an American suffers a traumatic brain injury. In a finding that may provide a scientific basis for eventual treatment, neurology researchers have shown that traumatic brain injury (TBI) reduces the level of a protein that helps keep brain activity in balance. The resulting abnormal activity, in turn, is thought to be an underlying reason for seizures and memory defects experienced by people who have suffered a TBI.

   A new study from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario has found that milk protein is significantly better than soy at building muscle mass. The findings would suggest that if men consume only skim milk (two cups) after each of their workouts, they would gain almost twice as much muscle in 10 weeks than if they drank the same amount of protein as a soy drink.

   07-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Should we be watching our exposure to airborne pollution as well as our cholesterol levels? Research now indicates that air pollution has a role to play in atherosclerosis (artery hardening), which can contribute to heart attacks or strokes. Findings published in the open access journal, Genome Biology, show how the fats that clog arteries work together with air pollution particles, triggering the genes behind inflammation.

   Antioxidants are widely considered an important defense against heart disease, but University of Utah researchers have found excessive levels of one antioxidant -- reduced glutathione -- actually may contribute to the disease.The findings, published in the Aug. 10 issue of Cell, indicate a new class of drugs can be developed to treat or even prevent heart disease caused by "reductive stress," according to Ivor J. Benjamin, M.D., the study's principal author.

   Researchers have identified a potential new mechanism through which human T-lymphotropic virus type-1 causes leukemia in adults. The findings, published this week in the online open access journal Retrovirology, represent the first time that a reduction in histone protein levels has been linked to viral infection and the development of cancer.
