Both of these effects confirm and extend the result of other studies. The third result was that in people who exercised, the loss of white matter integrity caused by alcohol consumption was prevented or reduced, depending on how much exercise was done and which particular white matter tract in the brain is examined.
Penicillin is one of the earliest discovered and widely used antibiotic agents, derived from the Penicillium mold. Antibiotics are natural substances that are released by bacteria and fungi into the their environment, as a means of inhibiting other organisms-it is chemical warfare on a microscopic scale.
Penicillin G was first discovered by the French Medical student Ernest Duchesne in 1896. Due to its instability, chemists of the time were unable to produce the drug for any use. As a result, penicillin was not extensively researched until Alexander Fleming began working with penicillin in 1928. Fifteen years later, the drug was mass produced.
