In tests on mice, researchers from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, found that removing the genes that control the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) left the rodents unable to run as fast as their healthy counterparts. AMPK is "switched on" with exercise and allows muscles to take up glucose, the researchers wrote in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Associate professor of medicine Gregory Steinberg said, "Mice love to run. While the normal mice could run for miles, those without the genes in their muscle could only run the same distance as down the hall and back. It was remarkable. burberry outlet The mice looked identical to their brothers or sisters but within seconds we knew which ones had the genes and which one didn't." Start of sidebar.

The study found that mice without the AMPK genes had lower levels of mitochondria - cells' main energy producers - and their muscles' ability to take up glucose during exercise was impaired. Steinberg added, "When you exercise you get more mitochondria growing in your muscle. If you don't exercise, the number of mitochondria goes down. By removing these genes we identified the key regulator of the mitochondria is the enzyme AMPK." The researchers said the findings were important for those who find it difficult to exercise, including the obese and those with asthma. How about those who live through a blockade that has grown into a military siege, even forbidding the entry of cinnamon on the grounds that it might be used in making bombs? The IHH [The Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief] is as much an Islamist-terrorist organisation as Médecins Sans Frontières is a communist-terrorist one. There is nothing “neo-Ottoman”, whatever that means, about telling the Israeli government that it should end the Gaza blockade. No one needs another WikiLeaks leak to discover that every government, including the US, has been telling the same thing to the Israeli government: that the blockade is inhuman and unsustainable. Last week a UN report was leaked to the press by guess whom? UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon expressed astonishment that this report, which had not yet been submitted to him, was leaked. It concluded that Israel’s action was “excessive and unreasonable”, while saying that Israel’s naval blockade was legal and based on legitimate security concerns. It said nothing about the limits of a blockade action, the extreme circumstances it created, or the many moral implications that inhabit the decision to pursue this action in such an unforgiving and ruthless way. It is ironic that the UN Charter restricts the use of force to very strict conditions. Surely Mavi Marmara is not one. Turkey does not recognise the blockade imposed on Gaza by Israel. When did the Turks first meet the Jews? The answer is mired in legend, and stories abound. At the very least, we have some early Turkish documents, dating back to the 13th century, which speak of “the wise, perceptive and capable people”, referring to the Jews living in the old Ottoman capitals of Bursa and Adrianople. Rightly, the impression stayed and took hold, never to change. In 1492, Sultan Bajazed II invited the Jews expelled from Spain to settle in the Ottoman lands, thereby opening a whole new chapter in Jewish history. Turkey does not aim to harm or jeopardise the historic and exceptional Turkish-Jewish friendship. Hence, the call of Mr Ahmet Davutoglu, the Turkish foreign minister, to Israel to correct its big mistake.
