Specifically, it focuses on how the endogenous opioid system affects response to pharmaceuticals. In this article, we discuss how phenotypic variation in antidepressant response is linked to interindividual differences in the µ-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1). The differences in OPRM1 also contribute to variable thresholds of tolerance to antidepressants, as well as a patient's ability to achieve remission from MDD. In addition, we review the current understanding of the OPRM1 system and its implications in antidepressant and placebo response. This will be followed

      Kraft Laptop Theft Affects 20,000 Employees
      Kraft Foods has announced that a company laptop was stolen from an employee back in January.  The theft has affected approximately twenty thousand employees nationwide.  The affected group has received letters stating that they should be on the lookout for identity theft attempts.  It’s hard to believe that Kraft is still having such problems.  Prior to being spun off from Altria last year, Kraft Foods had been involved in a couple of information security breaches.  In December 2007, eighteen thousand Altria employees were affected by the theft of five laptops from a pension consulting firm under contract with the company.  Altria was not at fault, but the case should have been a wakeup call for the tobacco and food giant.  And before that, there was

      How caffeine affects me
      Did you guys ever felt sleepy after having your meal? Well, I do. I always felt sleepy right after breakfast, lunch and dinner. The worst time for me is after lunch time. I can hardly keep my eyes open for the next 30 minutes after lunch. My solution for this is to have a nice cup of coffee right after the meals. For the lunch time section, I just got to have a strong cup of coffee. I have to admit that I need that caffeine to keep me awake so that I can keep on working. It actually keeps my brain running fresh and ideas running. I did experience a hard time when I ran out of coffee. I end up doing nothing that whole afternoon. All I can do is walking around the office to keep me awake. It took me at least an hour to actually get over it. I found a picture that describes how

      How meal composition affects fat loss
      Insulin and glucagon – the unsuspected keys to successful fat loss Insulin and glucagon play important metabolic roles.Insulin is a storage hormone, promoting the storage of glucose as muscle and liver glycogen and the storage of dietary fat as triglycerides in the adipose tissue.Glucagon is a release hormone. It triggers the release of stored fat and the breakdown of glycogen into glucose.Insulin and glucagon are inversely pared hormones – when one is high the other is low. For this reason storage and release do not occur at the same time. Which process occurs at any given time depends on the insulin to glucagon ratio:insulin levels are higher then glucagon levels => glucose and fatty acid storage occursglucagon levels are higher the insulin levels =>triglyceride release and glycogen

      How the Weather Affects Your Day
      The weather today in Denver Colorado was sunny, warm and beautiful with some wind. Although, the weather in the Colorado Rockies was much better. Breckenridge ski resort reported nine inches of snow today. It is weather reports or ski reports like these that make me have a rough day. So for me, the weather report showing a nice snowfall dump truly makes me a bit sad that I am not skiing in the freshies! On another note, last week I skied with old family friends. They are all Rippin Skiers. The most mature of the group was sporting a new black pin stripe outfit. It was a bit baggy, yet fit him great. Having the new, baggy outfit with a lot of pockets is definitely the way to go. Proper gear is an important influence in making your skiing enjoyable. This Rippin Skier proved to not

      The Work Environment 2# - Why Spatial Ability Affects Our Career Choices
      According to Wikipedia, spatial ability is the ability to mentally manipulate 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional figures. It is typically measured with simple cognitive tests and is predictive of user performance with some kinds of user interfaces.Brain scans show that spatial ability is located mostly in the right brain for men and is one of a male's strongest abilities. It developed from ancient times to allow men, the hunters, to calculate speed, movement and distance of prey.Spatial ability is located in both brain hemispheres for women but does not have a specific measurable location. 90% of women have limited spatial ability.Iowa state university professor Dr Camilla Benhow scanned the brains of more than a million boys and girls to study their spatial ability and reported that the differences were already outstanding at the age of four. She found that while girls were superb at seeing two dimensions in the brain, boys had the ability to see a third dimension.As mentioned, women do

      Whether or not weather affects your arthritis pain?
      Whether or not weather affects your arthritis pain?Does weather really affect your the severity of your joint pain? Though, I've often wondered this myself, intuitively I've often felt quite sure that there is a relationship between weather conditions and my own joint pain. In fact, most people with arthritis assert with conviction that weather conditions do influence the severity of their pain (Laborde et al, 1986).Despite our strongly held convictions with respect to the question as to whether or not weather impacts the severity of joint pain, I recently read a clinical trial which tested this hypothesis. In a recent article published in the American Journal of Medicine (McAlindon et al, 2007), they studied 200 geographically isolated individuals with osteoarthritis of the knee. Not surprisingly, their study results confirmed that both cold weather as well as increases in atmospheric pressure are both associated with an increase in joint pain severity.In addition to these recent fi
