Both spreads come with pretty good scientific credentials. The key ingredient in Benecol, which was approved last week by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, comes from a compound that occurs naturally in pine trees. Take Control, which got the green light in April, uses an extract made from soybean oil. Randomized, controlled trials show that folks with mildly elevated cholesterol levels (between 200 mg/dl and 240 mg/dl) who ate roughly two tablespoons of Benecol a day decreased their level of LDL, the "bad cholesterol," about 14%. The manufacturers of Take Control, on the other hand, designed their product...
...ground in Belgrade verified the target. Since the embassy is a walled compound with a Chinese flag fluttering outside, it would have been easy enough to do. But that would have required a person. So, based on high-tech wizardry that Americans love, the target was deduced. There was no Belgrade-based human to ensure that all the maps, spy photos and databases had zeroed in on the proper target. That was the sixth mistake...
...scientists developed a compound which is injected into the body and produces a fluorescent light when it interacts with enzymes associated with tumors...
...When the compound was injected into mice, the scientists could see the light given off around tumors using a tabletop machine which they built for the purpose...
...scientists' probe, known as a contrast agent, targets a specific enzyme in the tumor known as cathepsin b. The enzyme turns on the compound "like a switch," said Research Fellow in Radiology Ching H. Tung, who co-authored the experiment with first author Weissleder, senior author and Assistant Professor of Radiology Alexei A. Bogdanov and Clinical Fellow in Radiology Umar Mahmood...
