A Gene That Controls Fat Mobilisation and Possibly Prolongs Lifespan ------------------------------------------------------------ --------
In a recent study, scientists from the Department of Biology at MIT discovered that the SIRT1 gene, which is associated with longer life span, may also be linked to a pathway that reduces the level of cholesterol in the body.
The researchers found that this gene activates a cellular pathway that flushes out cholesterol from the body using high density lipoprotein (HDL) or "good" cholesterol.
They showed that low SIRT1 levels in mice resulted in accumulation of cholesterol in cells such as macrophages. This was due to reduced activity of the liver X receptor (LXR) protein, which is responsible for transporting cholesterol out of macrophage cells. SIRT1 is a positive regulator of LXR as it promotes deacetylation and subsequent ubiquitination. Studies have also shown that loss of SIRT1 in vivo reduces the expression of a variety of LXR targets involved in lipid metabolism.
This discovery has great potential to enable researchers to design drugs that could lower the risk of diseases associated with high cholesterol, such as atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease.

They long to hold you and pull you near, shield you from life's sorrows and fear. Give you warmth when cold winds blow, hold you forever and never let you go.
Within them a world for you and for me, one filled with love so tender and free. Love freely given as they wrap around, with you in my arms happiness is found.
Once rocked babies so tiny and small, held them close until they grew tall. Lifted them up as I waved good bye, as my son drifted to the heavenly sky.
Held within these arms love left behind, by my son and love of friendships so kind. Gather a lifetime of love wrapped within, once more love, in my life has come in.
God sent a friend my arms holds so dear, wrapped in our love whenever he's near. No longer lonely my arms reach for you, filled with joy and love sweet and new.

Too much can feel like gluttony, when all we want is all we see. Happiness is measured in worth, by all we give back unto the earth.
God knows our needs, He supplies, gives enough and never denies. Wanting more then you really do need, sets you up to never to succeed.
The best things in life are still free, too have it all just have faith in Thee. Greed begets loneliness and tears, feeling forgotten in golden years.
Yes love life but know what's enough, character is built whrn times seem tough. Give more then you take is God's choice, share everything rejoice rejoice.
Vicious kitties!!
