Kris-Etherton Monounsaturated Fatty Acids and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease. (... this report recommends that monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats--fats that can lower the risk of heart disease--should not be removed from the diet in an effort to reduce overall fat consumption by humans; animal or saturated fats should be cut, but monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats--found in olive oil, canola oil, avocados, nuts, peanuts, corn oil, soybean oil, and seeds--should be included in the diet to a small extent--from a news report on the Yahoo! News--Science Web pages) Circulation Volume 100, Number 11 (September 14, 1999): 1253-1258. J. Raloff Berry Good Protection for Aging Brains. (... an overview of recent research that has shown how older rats fed a diet supplemented by foods rich in antioxidants--such as spinach, strawberries, and, especially, blueberries--outperformed younger rats not fed diets supplemented by these foods on tests of memory and motor coordination; the antioxidants apparently assisted in reversing age-related declines in memory and physical well-being) Science News Volume 156, Number 12 (September 18, 1999): 180. **The complete text of this article is currently available through the Web site of Science News** James A. Joseph, Barbara Shukitt-Hale, Natalia A. Denisova, Donna Bielinski, Antonio Martin, John J. McEwen, and Paula C. Bickford Reversals of Age-Related Declines in Neuronal Signal Transduction, Cognitive, and Motor Behavioral Deficits with Blueberry, Spinach, or Strawberry Dietary Supplementation. (... see article above for overview -- based on previous research that showed that rats given dietary supplements of fruit and vegetable extracts with high antioxidant activity for 8 months beginning at 6 months of age retarded age-related declines in neuronal and cognitive function, this study, in which the diets of older rats were supplemented for 8 weeks with dried strawberry, spinach, or blueberry, concludes that, in addition to their known beneficial effects on cancer and heart disease, phytochemicals present in antioxidant-rich foods may be beneficial in reversing the course of neuronal and behavioral aging [from the abstract on The Journal of Neuroscience Web site]) Journal of Neuroscience Volume 19, Number 18 (September 15, 1999): 8114-8121. **An abstract of this article is currently available through the Web site of The Journal of Neuroscience** Vera H. Price Review: Drug Therapy: Treatment of Hair Loss. (... a review of the effects of the drugs finasteride and minoxidil on two common hair loss conditions--androgenetic alopecia [also known as male-pattern hair loss or baldness in men and female-pattern hair loss in women] and alopecia areata) The New England Journal of Medicine Volume 341, Number 13 (September 23, 1999): 964-973. Esmail D. Zanjani and W. French Anderson Review: Prospects for in Utero Human Gene Therapy. (... a review of the current state of research concerning the effectiveness of in utero gene therapy [IUGT]--therapy that may be beneficial for treating genetic disorders that result in irreversible damage to the fetus before birth and for individuals with genetic diseases who might benefit from treatment before symptoms are manifested; while IUGT has been successful in some animal studies, it appears that significant work still needs to be done before use with humans could be considered--from the abstract on the Science Web site) Science Volume 285, Number 5436 (September 24, 1999): 2084-2088.
