 In humans, caffeine acts as a central nervous system stimulant, temporarily warding off drowsiness and restoring alertness.
 It is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive drug, but, unlike many other psychoactive substances, it is both legal and unregulated in nearly all parts of the world.
 Caffeine is a central nervous system and metabolic stimulant, and is used both recreationally and medically to reduce physical fatigue and to restore alertness when drowsiness occurs.
 Caffeine is the primary treatment of the breathing disorders apnea of prematurity and may also be effective in preventing bronchopulmonary dysplasia in premature infants

DNA - Deoxyribonucleic acid

WikiSummarizer facilitates understanding by making key ideas VISIBLE. 

This post presents Visual Summary and Keyword Cloud about DNA based on a Wikipedia article.  


Gene




DNA - Double Helix
 Deoxyribonucleic acid - DNA - is a nucleic acid containing the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms (with the exception of RNA viruses)
 The DNA segments carrying this genetic information are called genes.
 Along with RNA and proteinsDNA is one of the three major macromolecules that are essential for all known forms of life.
 DNA consists of two long polymers of simple units called nucleotides, with backbones made of sugars and phosphate groups joined by ester bonds.
 These two strands run in opposite directions to each other and are therefore anti-parallel.
 Attached to each sugar is one of four types of molecules called nucleobases (informally, bases).
 This information is read using the genetic code, which specifies the sequence of the amino acids within proteins.
 During cell division these chromosomes are duplicated in the process of DNA replication, providing each cell its own complete set of chromosomes.
 The DNA double helix is stabilized primarily by two forces: hydrogen bonds between nucleotides and base-stacking interactions among the aromatic nucleobases.

Stress

WikiSummarizer facilitates understanding by making key ideas VISIBLE. 

This post presents Visual Summary and Keyword Cloud about stress based on a Wikipedia article.  





 Stress typically describes a negative concept that can have an impact on one’s mental and physical well-being, but it is unclear what exactly defines stress and whether or not stress is a cause, an effect, or the process connecting the two.

 During a stress response, the hypothalamus secretes various hormones, namely corticotropin-releasing hormone, which stimulates the body’s pituitary gland and initiates a heavily regulated stress response pathway.
 The hypothalamus is a small portion of the brain located "below the thalamus" and above the brainstem.
 During a stress response, the pituitary gland releases hormones into the blood stream, namely adrenocorticotropic hormone, which modulates a heavily regulated stress response system
 From the late 1960s, academic psychologists started to adopt Selye's concept; they sought to quantify "life stress" by scoring "significant life events," and a large amount of research was undertaken to examine links between stress and disease of all kinds.
