Does moderate increase in dietary sucrose influence fasting or postprandial serum lipids regardless of the presence of apolipoprotein E2 allele in healthy subjects?
Moderate increase in sucrose intake does not affect fasting or postprandial serum lipid responses in healthy subjects with or without the epsilon 2 allele.
The two major neuropeptides released by sensory neurons, CGRP and substance P, are overexpressed after irradiation and have opposing effects during development of intestinal radiation injury. Systematic studies to assess CGRP agonists and/or neurokinin-1 receptor blockers as protectors against intestinal toxicity during radiation therapy and after nontherapeutic radiation exposure are warranted.
