Increased mtDNA Copy Number Does Not Protect Against LHON.
We read with interest the article by Bianco et al. about the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number in 12 patients with Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and 18 asymptomatic carriers of the primary LHON mutations m.11778G>A and m.3460G>A, respectively. The authors interpreted the increased mtDNA copy number in lymphocytes as a protective effect in LHON mutation carriers. We have the fol...
متن کاملDoes the Immune System Naturally Protect Against Cancer?
The importance of the immune system in conferring protection against pathogens like viruses, bacteria, and parasitic worms is well established. In contrast, there is a long-lasting debate on whether cancer prevention is a primary function of the immune system.

A central principle of life-history theory is that parents trade investment in reproduction against that in body maintenance. One physiological cost thought to be important as a modulator of such trade-off is oxidative stress. Experimental support for this hypothesis has, however, proved to be contradictory.

The general topic of human red cell polymorphisms and malarial protection has attracted enormous interest, largely because this subject provides the most compelling ex...
متن کاملCalcium does not protect against colorectal neoplasia.
Calcium could decrease risk of colorectal neoplasia by binding bowel-irritating compounds and diminishing mucosal proliferation. This study quantitatively summarizes epidemiologic studies addressing this hypothesis and aims to explain heterogeneity between studies. Twenty-four articles reported 43 measures of relative risks (RRs). The weighted mean, according to a random effects model, did not ...
