This collaboration will be on a current topic that has to do with the real choices for food in the future, plant nutrients and the emerging as one of the most refined ancestral foods.

Spirulina is a single-celled algae that grows and multiplies in alkaline natural waters.
Contains 65 to 70% vegetable protein with all essential amino acid in perfect balance.
In comparison, beef has 22% protein and 28% pork.

It’s hard to imagine that such a concentrated source of nutrients like spirulina, no high in fat and calories. Spirulina has only 7% fat and they are in the form of essential fatty acids that are part of the cell membrane of every cell of our body. Among many other benefits that give the body, help control high blood sugar levels and decolesterol.

Can be used by those with a weak digestion and absorption assimilation yaque sonfáciles to absorb nutrients, such as many of its proteins are in forms of biliprotein, which means that these have already been absorbed by the algae, and are predigested. Read the rest of this entry »

In my previous collaboration in the YOGANEWS written about the alga spirulina. This time will be about one-celled algae, the chlorella. One of the most pure and powerful foods on earth!

The chlorella is the best source of natural chlorophyll to us. Having 5 to 10 times more chlorophyll than any food in the world.

Chlorophyll cells are identical to that of red blood cells with the difference of the molecule that chlorella has magnesium instead of iron in the blood. This similarity makes it an excellent tonic for blood and the ratio between magnesium and potassium is best for the heart operation, the chlorophyll has been used successfully to treat, among other conditions, cases of hypertension. He has also given tremendous results in cases of anemia, and that nourishes, tones and purifies the blood of liver and kidneys. Read the rest of this entry »

GPIHBP1 (GPI-anchored HDL-binding protein 1) is located in blood capillaries, and plays a role in the transport of fats from the digestive system to adipocytes and muscle cells. Antibody studies have shown that GPIHBP1 activates the binding of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) to the capillary lumen, facilitating the transfer of triglycerides from the chylomicrons to LPL for breakdown and transport into these cells. We at Novus Biologicals have over 20 GPIHBP1 reagents in our antibody database.

LPL is synthesized in, and secreted by, adipocytes and myocytes. However, the mechanism by which LDL is transported into the capillary lumens, in order for hydrolysis of triglycerides to take place, is something of a mystery. Recently, an antibody study by Davis, et al. revealed a mechanism by which GPIHBP1 facilitates LPL transport from parenchymal cells – i.e. adipocytes and myocytes – across the capillary wall and into the lumen. GPIHBP1 was shown to be located on the basolateral surface of the endothelial cells of capillaries, and not just the lumen as previously thought. It actively transported a specific monoclonal antibody across the endothelia, and further experiments showed the protein also played an active role in the transport of LDL.

It was shown that LDL was secreted to the subendothelial space of parenchymal cells where it was produced; following which GPIHBP1-LDL transport was initiated. In GPIHBP1-deficient mice, the protein was misallocated to the interstitial spaces between the cells. Many of the products in our antibody catalog are devoted to lipoprotein research and triglyceride metabolism, as it is known that genetic alterations of lipid-binding proteins can lead to cardiovascular disease and thrombosis.
