[What is Huperzine A]

Huperzia is a type of moss that grows in China. It is related to club mosses (the Lycopodiaceae family) and is known to some botanists as Lycopodium serratum . The whole prepared moss was used traditionally. Modern herbal preparations use only the isolated alkaloid known as huperzine A. Huperzine A is an alkaloid found in huperzia that has been reported to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, an important substance needed by the nervous system to transmit information from cell to cell. Animal research has suggested that huperzine A’s ability to preserve acetylcholine may be greater than that of some prescription drugs. Loss of acetylcholine function is a primary feature of several disorders of brain function, including Alzheimer’s disease . Huperzine A may also have a protective effect on brain tissue, further increasing its theoretical potential for helping reduce symptoms of some brain disorders.

[Function] Used in alternative medicine, huperzine A has been found to act as a cholinesterase inhibitor, a type of medicine used to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine (a chemical essential to learning and memory).

Not only used as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, huperzine A is also said to enhance learning and memory and to protect against age-related cognitive decline.

In addition, huperzine A is sometimes used to boost energy, increase alertness, and aid in the treatment of myasthenia gravis (an autoimmune disorder that affects the muscles).

Have you ever wondered what determines your height, hair and skin color and even the size of your nose?

It’s DNA, the genetic material of cell. But do you know how it has been proved?

Here are the experiments that proved it.

Griffith’s Experiment:

Griffith took two strains of pneumococcus bacteria.

1. S (III) – which have smooth polysaccharide capsule, giving smooth colonies (S) and is virulent causing pneumonia.

AND

2. R (II) – which have no capsule, giving Rough colonies (R) and is avirulent unable to cause pneumonia.

When the virulent S (III) bacteria injected in mice, it killed them causing pneumonia.

But when the Avirulent R (II) injected in mice, the mice lives

If you inject the heat killed virulent S (III) bacteria, the mice still live. Implying that live S (III) bacteria are needed for causing pneumonia

But interestingly, when mice were injected with the mixture of heat killed virulent S (III) bacteria and avirulent R (II) bacteria, mice died.

Analysis of dead mice reveals live S (III) virulent bacteria suggesting something form the heat killed S (III) had transformed to the live avirulent R (II) bacteria, responsible for the transformation of the live avirulent bacteria to virulent S (III) bacteria, causing death of mice. This is called as Bacterial Transformation.

To prove DNA is genetic material, team of Avery et al and Hershey and chase performed another experiments. See other video for it.
