Chemistry

Chemistry is the research door of many past openings.  This door opened in 1998 the Noble prize in Physiology and Medicine went to three individuals for the discovery of Nitric Oxide as a primary “signaling molecule” in the cardiovascular system in the human body.  These 3 individuals were Robert F. Furchgott, Louis J. Ignarro and Ferid Murad.   Since then, more research has shown that all 11 human systems are somewhat regulated by the signaling molecule, NO.

Behind another door, there is a synthetic peptide making news called BPC 157.  It  exerts beneficial effects on stroke, schizophrenia, spinal cord injury and bladder pain syndrome (Perovic et al., 2019; Vukojevic et al., 2020; Zemba Cilic et al., 2021). Researchers have consistently demonstrated that BPC 157 exerts a myriad of beneficial effects throughout the body. This mechanism of BPC 157 (i.e., BPC 157/dopamine/glutamate/NO system) represent an alternative that acts within the gut-brain axis, regardless of whether this action is direct or indirect.

Science Daily (Jan. 5, 2012) Oxytocin, the “love hormone” that builds mother-baby bonds and may help us feel more connected toward one another, can also make surly monkeys treat each other a little more kindly. Administering the hormone nasally through a kid-sized nebulizer, like a gas mask, a Duke University research team has shown that it can make rhesus macaques pay more attention to each other and make choices that give another monkey a squirt of fruit juice, even when they don’t get one themselves.This door
