Y chromosome

The Y chromosome is the sex-determining chromosome in most mammals, including humans. In mammals, it contains the gene SRY, which triggers testis development, thus determining sex. The human Y chromosome is composed of about 60 million base pairs. Most mammals have one pair of sex chromosomes in each cell (though the platypus has five pairs). Males have one Y chromosome and one X chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes. In mammals, the Y chromosome contains the gene that triggers embryonic development as a male. This gene is SRY. Normal sperm production needs other genes, in addition to SRY, on the Y chromosome.

Types of Complementary Medicine

Complementary medicine practices fall into broad categories, such as natural products, mind and body medicine and manipulative and practices based on the body. Although these categories are informal, they are useful for discussing complementary medicine practices. Some complementary medicine practices may fit into more than one category.

Natural Products

Natural products in complementary medicine include the use of a variety of herbal medicines also known as botanicals, vitamins and minerals. Many places sell natural products over the counter as dietary supplements. Doctors do not consider some uses of dietary supplements, like taking a multivitamin to meet minimum daily nutritional requirements or taking calcium to promote bone health, complementary medicine.
Complementary medicine natural products also include probiotics and live microorganisms (usually bacteria) that are similar to microorganisms normally found in the human digestive tract and that may have beneficial effects. Probiotics are available in foods like yogurts or as dietary supplements. Probiotics are not the same as prebiotics, which are non-digestible food ingredients that selectively stimulate the growth and/or activity of microorganisms already present in the body.
Interest in and use of complementary medicine and natural products have grown considerably in the past few decades. The 2007 NHIS found that 17.7 percent of American adults had used a non-vitamin non-mineral natural product. These products were the most popular form of complementary medicine among both adults and children. The most commonly used product among adults was fish oil or omega 3s. 37.4 percent of all adults who said they used natural products used fish oils and omega 3s; popular products for children included Echinacea where 37.2 percent used and fish oil/omega 3s used by 30.5 percent.
