3c18e8868a81388b87b7abbb8a867fde Weird Facts About SemenIn the perspective of health, semen is seen as a biological substance released by the male to fertilize the eggs of women through the process of sperm-egg union. But there are some strange facts about semen that has not been known. Anything?

By definition, semen or seminal fluid is an organic fluid, also known as seminal fluid, which usually contains spermatozoa. Physiologically, semen is secreted by the gonads (sexual glands) and other sexual organs of male or hermaphrodite animals to fertilize the female egg cell.

Medical technology always pay attention in determining, monitoring and improving the quality of semen. And some studies have found the odd facts that occurred in the semen.

Here are some strange facts about semen:

1. Semen can cause allergic
Although rare, but there are some women who are allergic to semen. Medically this condition is called human seminal plasma hypersensitivity (seminal plasma hypersensitivity). Symptoms depend on the condition of the body and the amount of sperm that enter the body. Symptoms generally such as itching, redness, blisters, sometimes causing difficulty breathing.

2. Semen believed to be a source of potential energy
From the sociocultural perspective, semen has been associated with potential energy sources in the theory of Chinese medicine and Chi Kung. According to Chi Kung theory, energy is transferred from the body and transferred to the sexual organs during sexual arousal. This theory suggests that after removing the semen, a certain energy from the human body is also being released. This explains why people feel weak after the release of sperm.

3. Magic from the use of semen
From Strickland-Bosavi region, Papua New Guinea, the tribe argued that semen eToro provides sexual maturity among young people tribe. In practice the past, young people from these tribes had to drink the semen of tribal elders to reach sexual maturity.

4. Semen flavor depending on the food you eat man
Taste of semen varies depending on the food consumed, hygiene and other external factors. According to Bodansky in his book To Bed or Not to Bed (2005), some women like the taste of semen but the others are not. For example, caffeine and red meat makes semen taste sour or bitter.

5. Semen as an anti-depression medicine woman
It is not too surprising, because semen contains several mood-changing hormones, like testosterone, estrogen, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin and several different prostaglandins. Some have been detected in the blood of a woman hours after exposure to semen.

6. Semen is a nutrient
The results Johnson and Everitt in his book Essential Reproduction (2000) revealed that semen contains a high nutrient content. In a typical ejaculation (roughly a teaspoon), semen already contains 150 mg of protein, 11 mg carbohydrates, 6 mg of fat, 3 mg cholesterol, 7 percent of U.S. RDA potassium, copper and zinc.

7. Semen will never run out
It is quite justified, because according to experts men only need a minimum of 15 minutes to increase the amount of semen after ejaculation.

Here’s How Cancer Cells “undermine” Our Bodies

780cfb0c215d71bcd21a5afa058dddcd Heres How Cancer Cells undermine Our BodiesThe U.S. scientists develop a new theory of how cancer cells can multiply and survive in the body tissues.

These findings may help oncologists in the world in formulating diagnoses and new therapies to target high-risk patients.

It is a team of researchers from the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University of Pennsylvania, who contributed to making this new theory is based on the results of four studies.

This theory can also explain why so many cancer patients feel their bodies as ‘encroached’ slowly. Yet. This had not previously been understood by experts.

The four new theories offered evidence that tumor cell growth and metastasis process of actually “triggered” or directly supported by normal cells. Normal cells called fibroblasts that makes cancer cells survive, and they generate the stroma (connective tissue) that wrap around the tumor cells.

When cancer cells grow, the number of stromal cells was increased and they like to undermine him to provide recycling nutrients to tumor cells. This is what resulted in cancer patients often lose weight significantly.

The experts also found, without nutrient recycling provided by fibroblasts, tumor cells become more fragile and easily killed.

Based on these important findings, experts assess cancer drugs that are annoying parasite relationship between tumor cells and fibroblasts, may be effective in therapy.

“We think the secret of how cancer cells develop has been revealed. It reverses 85 years of research beyond dogma and current cancer therapies,” said Michael P. Lisanti, MD, Ph.D., senior researcher and director of Jefferson’s Department of Stem Cell Biology & Regenerative Medicine.

They call this invention as The Reverse Warburg Effect. The study also published in the September issue of the journal Cell Cycle.

“This is really great. Much of what we know about the opposite of cancer because most studies of cancer using tumor cells that were isolated. Now we put back the cancer cells within the stromal We see how the cancer cells are critically dependent on fibroblasts for their survival, “said Dr. Lisanti.
