Due to its stimulatory effects, caffeine is one of the most frequently consumed mood and behavior altering drugs. University students report using caffeine-containing products enhance performance or for a desire alertness. The current study investigated consumption in university undergraduate students, associations with smoking status, alcohol cannabis consumption, fruit vegetable sleep quality. Motivations intake were also ascertained. A total 886 undergraduates aged 18−25 years from Balearic Islands participated cross-sectional survey. Caffeine was by 91.1% participants. consumers more likely be female, smokers, consumers. Coffee found main source both men women (48.9% intake).

Abstract Background Osteoporosis is a disease threatening the health of millions individuals. Melatonin found to be potential anti-osteoporosis drug. However, whether melatonin plays role against osteoporosis at different stages menopause and underlying mechanisms are unknown. Methods Ovariectomy was utilized as model perimenopausal postmenopausal osteoporosis. A total 100 mg/kg melatonin, or solvent alone, added drinking water rats over 8 weeks. Perimenopausal immediately received intervention following ovariectomy while weeks after ovariectomy. All underwent overdose anesthesia which blood samples femurs were collected for further analysis. Rat scanned using micro-CT examined histologically. The serum levels osteogenic biochemical markers measured expression osteogenesis-associated genes ( Runx2 , Sp7 ) quantified by real-time quantitative PCR. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity gene Col1a1 Alpl Bglap bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) osteogenically induced, both with without in vitro. ALP staining Alizarin Red S used identify osteogenesis. Results Analysis histological demonstrated that mass decreased microarchitecture deteriorated time Intervention increased normal, perimenopausal, osteoporotic rats. Serum continuously osteocalcin initially rose, then decreased. mRNA normal rats, opposite In vitro study μmol/L three and/or seven days intervention, 14 d intervention. extent matrix mineralization late stage Conclusions Bone ovariectomy, ameliorated metabolism due induction differentiation BMSCs.

Under normal conditions, to achieve optimal spermatogenesis, the temperature of testes should be 2-6 °C lower than body temperature. Cryptorchidism is one common pathogenic factors male infertility. The increase testicular in cryptorchidism patients leads disorder regulation and balance, induces oxidative stress response germ cells, destroys integrity sperm DNA, yields morphologically abnormal sperm, excessive apoptosis cells. These physiological changes can reduce fertility lead This paper describes causing heat stress, including lifestyle behavioral factors, occupational environmental (external factors), clinical caused by pathological conditions (internal factors). Studies have shown that wearing tight pants or an inappropriate posture when sitting for a long time daily life, ambient different seasons areas, cause temperature, response, fertility. occurrence causes within testis such as increased cell apoptosis, DNA damage gene expression, chromosome aneuploidy, Na+/K+-ATPase activity, etc. At end article, we list some substances relieve tissues, trigonelline, melatonin, R. apetalus, angelica powder. protect tissue stress.
