Vitamin C for preventing and treating the common cold
Harri Hemilä,Elizabeth Chalker +1 more
TL;DR: Whether vitamin C has an effect on the common cold has been a subject of controversy for at least 60 years, but what does the evidence show?
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin C and Infections
TL;DR: The negative findings of some therapeutic common cold studies might be explained by the low doses of 3–4 g/day of vitamin C, so the effects of vitaminC against infections should be investigated further.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin C Can Shorten the Length of Stay in the ICU: A Meta-Analysis
Harri Hemilä,Elizabeth Chalker +1 more
TL;DR: Evaluating whether vitamin C has an effect on the practical outcomes: length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) and duration of mechanical ventilation found that even an 8% reduction in ICU stay is worth exploring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hormone-sensitive lipase is closely related to several bacterial proteins, and distantly related to acetylcholinesterase and lipoprotein lipase: Identification of a superfamily of esterases and lipases
TL;DR: A gene from Bacillus acidocaldarius which encodes an open reading frame (ORF3) of 310 amino acids was found to be related to the mammalian hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), and the alignment of the HSL with the bacterial proteins allowed us to infer the location of the hormone- sensitive regulatory domain of theHSL-protein.
