It’s a small but important sign that the Silent Spring Institute research scientist is confident in the work Barnstable town officials have done to cut the amount of dangerous chemicals within the municipal water supply.
But before town officials recognized the problem more than five years ago, people across Hyannis were drinking the contaminated water.
Now, Schaider and her colleagues at the institute, the first organization to find PFAS chemicals in Cape Cod drinking water, are trying to assess the scale of the effects the contaminated water might have had on humans health.
Androgens play a critical role in regulating stomach inflammation in mice
Scientists at the National Institutes of Health determined that stomach inflammation is regulated differently in male and female mice after finding that androgens, or male sex hormones, play a critical role in preventing inflammation in the stomach. The finding suggests that physicians could consider treating male patients with stomach inflammation differently than female patients with the same condition. The study was published in
Gastroenterology.
Researchers at NIH s National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) made the discovery after removing adrenal glands from mice of both sexes. Adrenal glands produce glucocorticoids, hormones that have several functions, one of them being suppressing inflammation. With no glucocorticoids, the female mice soon developed stomach inflammation. The males did not. However, after removing androgens from the males, they exhibited the same stomach inflammati

No detection on soccer fields or playground area in McGrath Park; signage, fencing will be posted; Salem Parks are places where all (young and old) gather to enjoy nature, walk, exercise, play, and gather with family and friends
SALEM, Mass. Testing of soil samples from a wooded area with walking trails adjacent to the upper soccer fields at McGrath Park in Salem has been found to have elevated lead levels. The samples were collected at shallow depths of 0’ to 1’ from the surface. The levels detected in the shallow soils and the use of the site as part of the park triggered immediate notification requirements to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP).
