03/01/10: Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ): A novel approach to neuroprotection
Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ): A novel approach to neuroprotection‡ By Kelly C. Heim, Ph.D. Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a B vitamin-like cofactor that occurs naturally in plant foods and in most organs and tissues. Over fifteen years of research has underscored the unique properties of PQQ in maintaining neuronal health. The diverse cellular mechanisms of PQQ […]

01/12/10: Calming Cortisol During Times of Occasional Stress
Calming Cortisol During Times of Occasional Stress By Mark Swanson, ND Cortisol is the major “stress response” corticosteroid hormone produced by the adrenals. It is the main end product of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Cortisol affects metabolic, cardiovascular and central nervous systems under both acute and chronic states. The functional neuroanatomy and regulation of cortisol […]
