Iron Metabolism in Neurodegenerative Diseases.

Posted on April 22, 2014 by Dr. Gary Pack

Poor regulation of iron metabolism is seen in some patients with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Iron transport in and out of brain cells helps maintain cellular balance. Imbalance in iron levels produces neurotoxins, reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress. Iron accumulation in the cells […]

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors in Functional Food.

Posted on April 29, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) can raise blood pressure through the renin-angiotensin system, which alters kidney function. The enzyme is zinc dependent. ACE can hydrolyze and inactivate a nine amino acid blood vessel dilator, bradykinin. Loss of the blood vessel dilation from bradykinin causes some high blood pressure. ACE inhibition can successfully treat hypertension and heart […]
