i'm still as a result from the university of north carolina chapel hill
and the last few years there's been accumulating evidence that colin is really important for
female development
and that pregnant women may not be getting enough colleen and die
calling this a new tree that is only recently recognised as being required by humans
and
you people are not pregnant develop fatty liver labour damage muscle damage when the pride
that
but there are many things that ali us to believe that colin is really important
during pregnancy for example
pregnant women transport coupling to the baby against a concentration gradient across the placenta and
they can accumulate fifteen times more correlated to the baby then that's present in their
blood
pregnant women secrete colleen in their milk and milk you milk is one of the
richest sources of cali available
in addition
the reason that we didn't know that colin was required for you images is that
we thought that labour
possesses a pathway enzyme that can make only from scratch
it turns out that this enzyme is turned on by oestrogen and then men and
post menopausal women is not very
but in women especially at the oestrogen concentrations they reach during pregnancy
make skulking to help supplement the dietary intake make it less likely that they will
become to finish
so why worry the women might be equally well we found that about forty four
percent of women in the us have a genetic
polymorphism a misspelling of the genetic that results in the inability to turn on the
street or that's trick and those women have a special requirement for calling increase dietary
requirements colin probably during pregnancy run into trouble if we take animal models wraps
and mice and feed them locally during pregnancy their babies are born
decreased a capital function decrease neural genesis and okay this and we give them extra
cuddly they have increase your a genesis and happy campers increased memory function for the
rest of their lives and that affect seems to be mediated by a genetic mac
