| Selected biochemical parameters of blood serum in soldiers committing
self-mutilation.
Florkowski A, Gruszczynski W, Wawrzyniak Z
Mil Med. 2001 May ; 166(5): 375-7
OBJECTIVE: This project attempts to establish a possible link between
selected biochemical parameters (cholesterol and triglyceride
concentrations and levels of malonyl dialdehyde and superoxide
dismutase) in soldiers with autoaggressive behaviors. MATERIALS AND
METHODS: The study involved 33 soldiers treated for self-aggressive
behavior from July 1, 1998, to June 30, 1999. Average patient age was
20.7 years. The control group consisted of 21 soldiers hospitalized for
mental disturbances but not showing autoaggressive tendencies. Total
cholesterol and activity of platelets, considering the generation of
free radicals and triglyceride concentration levels, were determined in
the blood serum of members of both groups. RESULTS: The results
indicate significantly lower concentrations of total cholesterol in the
serum of soldiers showing self-aggressive behaviors. Also, increased
concentrations of malonyl dialdehyde in blood platelets and decreased
superoxide dismutase activity were found in individuals prone to
autoaggression. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that the dysfunction of
oxidation-reduction processes in brain tissue leads to excessive
generation of free radicals, which can cause brain cell damage and
disturb metabolic processes, resulting in mental disturbances that may
constitute a background for self-aggressive behavior. The decreased
activity of superoxide dismutase is a major factor in the observed
oxidation-reduction disturbances.

this is interesting. I remember reading that low cholesterol was
associated with depression, that depression was a common side effect
of cholester0ol reducing drugs, and that there were indications that
the depression resulted from the reduced cholesterol rather than
directly from the drugs.
Newspaper science, for sure, but it was reported somewhere.

| Possible lowered lipid levesl throughout
brain, CNS,
myelin is lipid-based, the connectivive "stuff" among neurons,
across which neural transmission occurs.
The finding [increased suicide incidence] has been observed
in some large statin trials,
not all.

Must you echo his entire post with your response??? I have him on
killfile and hate that the whole darn post is repeated. One sentence
to let readers know to what you're referring would be enough.

Could it be Becky, could it just be that *you* are guilty of what you
accused me of? Could it be Ms. Starlight??
You're getting boring with your picky, picky, picky.

It just ticks me off when someone foils my killfiles. ;) Haven't
been able to figure out how to automatically 'ignore' a thread that is
started by one of the trolls. There must be a way. Agent doesn't
seem to have that capacity, but I'd be willing to get another news
reader if it does have that feature.
I love you too, Will.

Well, he's just proved I was right to killfile him.

It was one of those touche` things because I told him I'm tired of his
whining. heheh So I kinda asked for it.
