Carbohydrate enhances nerve repair in mice

Last Updated: 2006-11-28 16:08:30 -0400 (Reuters Health)

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Treatment with a carbohydrate called HNK-1 may enhance the repair of damaged "motor" nerves, the type that send movement signals to muscles, German scientists report in the Annals of Neurology.

Dr. Melitta Schachner of Hamburg University and colleagues report that HNK-1 is found on the cover of motor nerves, but is not present on nerves that carry sensory signals.Lab experiments have shown that motor nerves coated with HNK-1 display accelerated growth.In the present study, Schachner's team discovered that mice with damaged motor nerves recover 93 percent of their muscle function when treated with HNK-1. By contrast, with other active and fake "placebo" treatments, recovery never surpassed 76 percent of normal function.The authors believe that compounds that mimic the structure of HNK-1 could represent a useful treatment for nerve injury in humans.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Edible coatings containing oils from oregano and other sources can destroy food-borne microbes, enhancing the safety and shelf life of fresh food, according to a team of chemists at the University of Lleida in Spain and at the US Department of Agriculture in Albany, California.

Essential oils of some plants act as food preservatives and are safe to eat, USDA's Dr. Tara H. McHugh told Reuters Health. "We have made films without antimicrobial activity from many different fruits and vegetables, and found that natural essential oils can easily be incorporated, which improves the overall quality of the film."

For their current study, reported in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the investigators prepared apple-based films. They then tested the antimicrobial activity of essential oils of oregano, lemongrass, and cinnamon, by measuring their ability to destroy Escherichia coli O157:H7, a microbe that causes food poisoning.
