South African lamb and cardiovascular disease risk
Recent analyses of the composition of South African lamb have yielded more positive findings than those reported previously. Evidently the fat content is much less than previously reported, and more appropriate according to recommendations set for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. The protein content and the vitamin constituents are proposed to be conducive to the metabolism of methioni...
متن کاملNycteroleter affinities of a Permian parareptile from the South African Karoo Basin
The Middle Permian Tapinocephalus Assemblage Zone in South Africa has produced a rich record of tetrapods domi− nated by dinocephalian therapsids and pareiasaurid para− reptiles. In this study we reassess the affinities of a specimen from this horizon previously identified as a procolophonoid and provide evidence that it is instead referable to a nyctero− leter parareptile, an identification th...

متن کاملThe virtues of gossip: reputational information sharing as prosocial behavior.
Reputation systems promote cooperation and deter antisocial behavior in groups. Little is known, however, about how and why people share reputational information. Here, we seek to establish the existence and dynamics of prosocial gossip, the sharing of negative evaluative information about a target in a way that protects others from antisocial or exploitative behavior. We present a model of pro...
متن کاملmicroRNAs: A Safeguard against Turmoil?
Emerging data suggest that microRNAs (miRNAs) are instrumental in a variety of stress responses in addition to their more recognized role in development. Surprisingly, miRNAs, which normally suppress expression of target transcripts, may become activators of expression during stress. This might be partially explained by new interactions of miRNA/Argonaute complexes with RNA-binding proteins tha...
