EXPLORING MEDICAL MIRACLES OF TILAPIA SKIN: FROM BURNING TO NEW SKIN

Image
According to the world health organization, Injury by burning is a universal health problem and it’s an immense curse for the people of middle & low-income countries. Usually, the skin is injured by burn through different mode acting as high heat, radiation, electricity, radioactivity, friction or contact with burning chemicals. The skin of Tilapia help to heal the burn more quickly than any other skin grafting treatment process. Tilapia is a fish that can be cultivated anywhere on the planet. Generally,Tilapia is a prolific breeder & it can survive in low oxygenated water even polite water also. In India, Tilapia farming is very popular for its adaptation quality & low-cost management. Tilapia fish is enriched with protein, vitamins, and minerals such as vitamin B12, vitamin D, niacin, choline, selenium, phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, etc. Scientists are reported that Tilapia fish is a superior source of Omega 3 fatty acids. Tilapia skin contains a vast amoun

Hi Folks!! Follow our blog on  Instagram   Dioxins are environmental pollutants. They belong to the so-called dirty dozen – a group of dangerous chemicals known as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) . Dioxins are of concern because of their highly toxic potential. More than 90% of human exposure is through food, mainly meat and dairy products, fish and shellfish. Many national authorities have programmes in place to monitor the food supply. Dioxins are highly toxic and can cause reproductive and developmental problems, damage the immune system, interfere with hormones and cause cancer. Dioxins are mainly by-products of industrial processes but can also result from natural processes, such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires. They are unwanted by-products of many manufacturing processes including smelting, chlorine bleaching of paper pulp and the manufacture of some herbicides and pesticides. Uncontrolled waste incinerators (solid waste and hospital waste) are often the worst culpr

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are chemicals that can interfere with how hormones communicate with each other in the body. They can cause a variety of health issues, including birth defects, cancer, and neurodevelopmental disorders.   EDC 1. Bisphenol A (BPA):  What is Bisphenol A (BPA)? Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical primarily used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. These materials are commonly found in various consumer goods, including: - Water bottles - Food containers - Dental sealants - Thermal paper receipts - Canned food linings   Mechanism as an Endocrine Disruptor BPA is known as an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC). EDCs are substances that can interfere with the endocrine (hormone) system in animals, including humans. BPA can mimic the structure and function of the hormone estrogen by binding to estrogen receptors, potentially leading to a range of health effects. Health Effects The potential health impacts of BPA

Hi Folks!! Follow our blog on  Instagram Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are natural or human-made chemicals that may mimic, block, or interfere with the body’s hormones, which are part of the endocrine system. These chemicals are associated with a wide array of health issues. How Do We Encounter EDCs? Endocrine disruptors are found in many everyday products, including cosmetics, food and beverage packaging, toys, carpets, and pesticides. Some chemicals that act as flame retardants may also be endocrine disruptors. Contact with these chemicals may occur through air, diet, skin, and water. EDCs cannot be completely avoided or removed; however, you can make informed choices to reduce exposure and risk of any potential health effects According to the Endocrine Society, there are nearly 85,000 human-made chemicals in the world, and 1,000 or more of those could be endocrine disruptors, based on their unique properties.  The following are among the most common and well-studied.

THE POWER OF OXYTOCIN - UNDERSTANDING THE LOVE HARMONE

The Power of Oxytocin: Understanding the "Love Hormone" In the intricate tapestry of human emotions and social connections, one molecule stands out for its profound impact: oxytocin, often dubbed the "love hormone" or "bonding hormone." This tiny yet mighty neurotransmitter and hormone play a pivotal role in shaping our relationships, from nurturing maternal bonds to fostering trust and intimacy in romantic partnerships. The Physiology of Oxytocin: Produced in the hypothalamus – a region of the brain – oxytocin is released into the bloodstream and brain in response to various stimuli, including physical touch, emotional closeness, and social interactions. Its release is especially prominent during moments of intimacy, such as childbirth, breastfeeding, and sexual activity. Beyond Reproduction: While oxytocin's role in facilitating childbirth and breastfeeding is well-known, its influence extends far beyond reproductive functions. Research h
