Brain system serves as 'remote control' for fat metabolism
A system in the brain already known to regulate food intake also serves as a direct "remote control" for the way fat is stored and metabolized in the body, say University of Cincinnati (UC) researchers. view more (2007-09-21)
Systems properties of insulin signaling revealed
A team of Swedish researchers has characterized novel systems properties of insulin signaling in human fat cells. Their mathematical modeling, described in an article published June 20th in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology, provides further insight into energy level maintenance (via the hormone insulin) within our bodies. view more (2008-06-20)
A 20-year study finds no association between low-carb diets and risk of coronary heart disease
Advocates of low-carbohydrate diets, such as the popular Atkins diet, claim that those diets may help prevent obesity and coronary heart disease (CHD). view more (2006-11-09)
Scavenger birds chew the fat
Humans aren't the only ones who like fatty foods - bearded vultures do, too. A study by Antoni Margalida from the Bearded Vulture Study and Protection Group in El Pont de Suert, Spain, has found that the bearded vulture will discard less energy-dense bones and choose only the bones containing the highest fat content both for its consumption and... view more...

News coverage of trans fat prompts shoppers to avoid certain products
News coverage about the harmful effects of trans fat, combined with labeling information, may influence consumers' short-term purchases of foods high in trans fat, but is not enough to prompt shoppers to avoid these potentially artery-clogging purchases over the long term, according to a study in the May issue of the American Journal of Preventive... view more...

Low-carbohydrate diets appear effective, but may raise cholesterol levels
A synthesis of data from five previous clinical trials suggests that both low-fat and low-carbohydrate diets appear to be effective for weight loss up to one year, but low-carbohydrate diets may be linked to higher overall and LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels. view more (2006-02-14)
Research Methodology Could Mask Association Between High Fat Intake And Breast Cancer (pp 182, 212)
Imprecise methods of assessing dietary intake could be potentially obscuring a link between increased fat intake and breast cancer, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Results of studies in which biological markers have been used as the reference method for assessment of dietary intake for selected nutrients... view more... (2003-07-16)
Overproducing leptin receptors in fat cells may be key to halting weight gain
A new study by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center suggests that when fat cells increase in size - as they do during the development of obesity - the cells progressively lose receptors for the hormone leptin, a powerful stimulus for fat burning. view more (2005-12-01)
Research shows fat fuels inflammation killer
New research by the University of Warwick's Warwick Medical School shows that the biggest health threat to fat and obese people isn't the fat itself but the fact that the fat fuels a killer inflammation response in people. view more (2006-03-09)
Full fat milk and butter may help prevent asthma
Young children who regularly eat products containing milk fat are less likely to develop asthma, concludes a study in Thorax. Researchers assessed the food consumption of 2,978 Dutch children aged 2 years and related this to asthma symptoms at age 3.
