Angelman syndrome

,
Angelman syndrome (AS) is a neuro-genetic disorder characterized by intellectual and developmental delay, sleep disturbance, seizures, jerky movements (especially hand-flapping), frequent laughter or smiling, and usually a happy demeanor.

AS is a classic example of genomic imprinting in that it is usually caused by deletion or inactivation of genes on the maternally inherited chromosome 15 while the paternal copy, which may be of normal sequence, is imprinted and therefore silenced. The sister syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, is caused by a similar loss of paternally inherited genes and maternal imprinting. AS is named after a British pediatrician, Dr. Harry Angelman, who first described the syndrome in 1965.[1] An older, alternative term for AS, happy puppet syndrome, is generally considered pejorative and stigmatizing so it is no longer the accepted term, though it is sometimes still used as an informal term of diagnosis. People with AS are sometimes known as "angels", both because of the syndrome's name and because of their youthful, happy appearance.

DMAE (Dimethylethanolamine)

,
Dimethylaminoethanol, also known as DMAE or dimethylethanolamine, is an organic compound. This compound also goes by the names of N,N-dimethyl-2-aminoethanol, beta-dimethylaminoethyl alcohol, beta-hydroxyethyldimethylamine and Deanol. It is a clear to pale-yellow liquid.

Dimethylaminoethanol is used as a curing agent for polyurethanes and epoxy resins. It is also used in mass quantities for water treatment, and to some extent in the coatings industry. It is used in the synthesis of dyestuffs, textile auxiliaries, pharmaceuticals, emulsifiers, and corrosion inhibitors. It is also an additive to paint removers, boiler water and amino resins. It forms a number of salts with melting points below room temperature (ionic liquids) such as N,N-dimethylethanolammonium acetate and N,N-dimethylethanolammonium octanoate, which have been used as alternatives to conventional solvents.

2-Dimethylaminoethyl chloride hydrochloride is an intermediate made from dimethylaminoethanol that is widely used for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals.

Dimethylaminoethanol is related to choline and may be a biochemical precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, although this conclusion has been disputed. It is believed that dimethylaminoethanol is methylated to produce choline in the brain. It is known that dimethylaminoethanol is processed by the liver into choline; however, the choline molecule is charged and cannot pass the blood-brain barrier.

PGX Fiber

,
  PGX is an abbreviation for PolyGlycopleX®. This product is a blend of polysaccharides or plant fibers that are water-soluble. This product claims to suppress the appetite and promote the feeling of fullness in an individual. PGX fiber is also said to slow the rate of carbohydrate absorption, which prevents the post-meal blood sugar spikes that are primarily responsible for hunger pangs between meals and late-night snack cravings.
As per the information from the company, PGX comprises mulberry leaf extract, xanthum gum, sodium alginate, amorphophallus konjac k root and one gram of dietary fiber. The company also claims that there are no artificial colors or preservatives in PGX Fibe


PGX is made of non-starch and natural soluble fibers. It is claimed that these fibres develop high viscosity once in the stomach and hence move slowly. Manufacturers claim that this substance does not lose its viscosity in the stomach or intestines. This fiber also claims to enhance the volume of the meals which helps in decreasing the portion size of the actual meal. It is also said to help in decreasing insulin resistance for people who are trying to lose weight.
A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial was conducted to compare the effects of five grams of PGX with five grams of low-viscosity fiber and five grams of medium-viscosity fiber. Thirty-one people who were healthy in every aspect were made to drink these three kinds of drinks. After an hour and half all these individuals were fed pizza to their heart's desire. It was observed that the least amount of pizza was consumed by individuals who drank PGX.
PGX was also tested as a weight loss aid in Canadian Center for Functional Medicine in British Columbia in two weight programs. Each program required the participants to have 5 grams of PGX two to three times every day. In both programs the participants lost an average weight of about 11 to 13 pounds with a loss in inches as well over a period of 14 weeks. This weight loss was seen in obese, overweight and sedentary adults. Moreover, the average weight showed a reduction of about 13 pounds with a waist circumference reduction of an average 5 inches and 2.5 % body fat loss.
PGX is said to benefit in many ways. PGX claims to help people in losing weight the healthy way. It is also said to balance and control blood sugar levels, as well as helping in reducing the triglyceride and cholesterol levels along with a reduction in food cravings.
