MAY  22: THE MAGIC OF MITOCHNDRIA :Summer Reading:
3100 foods to think about this summer: http://www.nutritionj.com/content/9/1/3
And a little something on one food in particular with mitochondrial implications, from one of my favourite websites: http://nutritionfacts.org/video/priming-the-proton-pump/
Mitochondria & mood: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20691744 & http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22329956
Need an excuse for a massage? The Doctors' Lounge is all in favour of self-care: http://stm.sciencemag.org/content/4/119/119ra13.abstract
Thinking of having a cocktail after work as part of that self care program? Consider this:

Some recent history: http://www.whatislife.com/education/fact/history_table.html , and some ancient history http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/artful-amoeba/2012/04/16/mitiochondria-are-related-to-ocean-bacteria-but-not-to-the-ones-we-thought/?WT_mc_id=SA_DD_20120417
Always looking for an excuse to plug my blog (www.inositolpage.blogspot.com), so how about this?
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21434479 .Think that is bull? Well, here is something to think about:
http://scientopia.org/blogs/scicurious/2012/02/23/friday-weird-science-on-applying-pot-to-your-bull-semen/
And for those who see H pylori as the explanation for everything: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/11/111101130202.htm
Melatonin: still the most interesting hormone downplayed in my formal medical education, a reminder to stay on top of CME: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22391273
And for those who have ever wondered if the words glocal and neuroplasticity could ever make sense in the same sentence: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20957078
As for our last DL talk on cancer, a new word to learn: mitocans http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22329956
And finally, just because we at the DL cannot resist speculating about "interesting" ideas, something to think about when lying around soaking up the sun this  summer: http://ebm.rsmjournals.com/content/235/1/66.long
Have a great summer and please e-mail us with your ideas for future programming.
