Histidin Nedir?
İnsan vücudunda, histidin amino asidi her türlü dokunun büyümesi ve tamir edilmesi için gerekli olan bir maddedir. Bu amino asit, sinirlerinizin etrafına kendilerini sararak miyelin olarak bilinen koruyucu bir kılıf oluşturan glial sinir hücreleri olan oligo dendrositlerinin korunmasında ve üretilmesinde önemli rol oynarlar. Bu kasıtlı olmayan ancak beyinde ve omurga iliklerinde ciddi sorunlara yol açabilecek dürtülerin önüne geçer. Histidin ayrıca hem kırmızı hem de beyaz kan hücrelerinin önemli bir üreticisidir.
Bu amino asit türü ayrıca radyasyon korumasına ve demir gibi aşırı ağır metallerin vücuttan atılmasına yardımcı olur. Midede, Histidine, sindirimi hızlandırabilen ve geliştirebilen gastrik sıvı üretir, yani bu amino asit, hazımsızlık ve bağırsak problemleriyle boğuşurken yardımı dokunabilecek bir maddedir.
Histidin, gerekli olmayan bir amino asit olan ve alerjik tepkilere cevap olarak vücudun bağışıklık sistemi tarafından salgılanan Histamine amino asidinin öncüsüdür. Histidine ayrıca son zamanlarda yapılan araştırmalara göre daha uzun orgazmlar ve daha zevkli cinsel ilişkilerle bağlantılıdır.

</a> I can see by reading the posts here that this guy has stirred up a lot of controversy. I kind of like the fact that he is bucking the system, sort of like the people who take the red pill in the Matrix and cease to be a battery for the system. This system really stinks, and it is about sometime people start to change things. Opting out of it is one way. I was listening to a professor give a free lecture at Cornell University a few days ago. He said that the income inequality in this country is equal to countries in Africa. There are a few rich and many poor. The middle class is vanishing. Something should be done. At least he is out of the rat race. Good for him.

By the early 1950s, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences had begun using the current, more feminine name.
</a> Exhibition creator Kristian Martin explained why it feels so realistic: “Because it’s on such a huge scale – it’s over 13 metres wide, and it has a slight concave shape to it – it gives you an impression that you’re actually standing on the surface of Mars, which is something you can’t experience anywhere else in the world.”

</a> While some appreciate the mindless right-wing repetition of ideological talking points in denial about climate change science since they think it discredits the whole right-wing movement among most reasonable people, I think this denial, backed by the powerful fossil fuel industry, does indeed get in the way of effective action being taken by businesses, government and individuals. True conservatives would look to a real solution as suggested by J Rhodes above using market forces, but the fossil fuel industry and their supporters seem concerned only with their short-term profits. They rather take a crap-shoot with our atmosphere, relentlessly adding even more carbon even though CO2 levels have already risen from about 280 to 400 parts/million since the industrial revolution with signs of climate destabilization already evident. "Conservative" used to mean "prudent," but now it often means blindly supporting the fossil fuel industry's radical, risky experiment on our atmosphere. Sad.

</a> Here's a question: I know USB sticks and comparatively more expensive to produce that spinning plastic. But that's mostly due to the fact they have to be re-writeable. How cheaply can WORM memory be made so that you can burn a movie (or three) onto a small chip?
