Is methionine-induced elevation of plasma homocysteine concentration associated with an increase of plasma cholesterol in adult rats?
The results demonstrate that dietary methionine contributes to a rise in circulating homocysteine concentration which positively correlates with the concentration of plasma cholesterol. However, the effects of methionine on cholesterol metabolism of adult rats were relatively weak.
Intraoperative P6 acupuncture point stimulation with a conventional nerve stimulator during surgery significantly reduced the incidence of PONV over 24 h. The efficacy of P6 stimulation is similar to that of commonly used antiemetic drugs in the prevention of PONV.
