Allergy Medicine: Why Fexofenadine Works Better for Some People
Ever wonder why a certain medication may work great for a friend and do nothing for you? One reason could be the genes involved in transporting the medication into and out of your cells. This article looks at the research studies on fexofenadine and the Multidrug Resistance Protein variants.
Fisetin: Antioxidant and Senolytic
Fisetin is a natural flavonol found in several types of fruits and vegetables and may prove to be a critical anti-aging component. In several recent studies, fisetin clears out senescent cells holding a lot of promise for healthy aging. Learn more about the newest research into this possible longevity compound.
Genes that impact response to Modafinil
Genetic variants make a difference in how you respond to modfinil — whether it is likely to work well for you or not.
Alcohol Genes: Alcohol Metabolism Rate
Wondering why you don’t react the same way to alcohol as your friends do? Some people metabolize alcohol faster leaving a build-up of acetaldehyde. Learn more about why this can be a health problem for some.
Dopamine Receptor SNPs: Addiction, Mood, ADHD, and Schizophrenia
Dopamine is a powerful player in our cognitive function – impacting mood, movement, and motivation. Genetic variants in the dopamine receptors influence addiction, ADHD, neurological diseases, depression, psychosis, and aggression.
