Medical College researchers find dinosaur clues in fat
A team of researchers at New York Medical College has discovered why birds, unlike mammals, lack a tissue that is specialized to generate heat. view more (2008-04-24)
Scientists find brown fat master switch
Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have identified a long-sought "master switch" in mice for the production of brown fat, a type of adipose tissue that generates heat and counters obesity caused by overeating. view more (2007-07-11)
Joslin study identifies protein that produces 'good' fat
A study by researchers at the Joslin Diabetes Center has shown that a protein known for its role in inducing bone growth can also help promote the development of brown fat, a "good" fat that helps in the expenditure of energy and plays a role in fighting obesity. view more (2008-08-21)
Making 'good' fat from muscle and vice versa
A surprise discovery -- that calorie-burning brown fat can be produced experimentally from muscle precursor cells in mice -- raises the prospect of new ways to fight obesity and overweight, say scientists from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. view more (2008-08-21)
Why piglets shudder to keep warm
Piglets are sensitive to cold and shiver to maintain their body heat. Researchers at Uppsala University have uncovered a genetic reason why these newborns are less tolerant of the cold than other newborn mammals. view more (2006-08-21)
Understanding hypertension in African Americans proves elusive
Exercise cannot reduce a sodium-retaining hormone in African Americans known to potentially cause hypertension, found Michael D. Brown, Ph.D., the senior author of a study in the September issue of Experimental Physiology. Brown is an associate professor of kinesiology at Temple University's College of Health Professions. view more (2007-08-16)
Newborn lambs' central heating system could aid fat busting in humans
The way newborn lambs regulate their temperature in the first few weeks of life using a special deposit of brown fat could give clues for tackling obesity in humans, according to Imperial College London scientists. Unlike normal white fat that stores surplus energy, brown fat generates heat in response to cold or excess caloric intake. While some... view more... (2004-04-14)
Joslin study reveals how a specific fat type can protect against weight gain and diabetes
A new study from Joslin Diabetes Center may shed light on why some people can eat excessive amounts of food and not gain weight or develop type 2 diabetes, while others are more likely to develop obesity and this most common form of diabetes on any diet. view more (2007-03-02)
Fat children do not necessarily become fat adults
Most fat adults are not overweight as children, concludes a study in this week's BMJ, casting doubt on the widespread popular belief that fat children become fat adults. view more (2001-11-28)
Northern brown bears discovered feeding on whitefish runs
The discovery of brown (grizzly) bears feeding on migrating broad whitefish in a stream in Mackenzie Delta region of the Northwest Territories has researchers advising increased care in petroleum extraction and infrastructure development within the area. view more (2009-09-23)
Dietary fat not linked to risk of stroke
Unlike heart disease, dietary fat does not seem to be associated with risk of stroke, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-10-01)
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. Asthma at age 3 was lower in children who consumed full cream milk and butter daily than in those... view more... (2003-06-27)
NHLBI media availability: Low-fat dietary pattern and weight change
Results of the first study on the long-term effects of a dietary pattern low in fat and high in carbohydrates suggest that a low-fat eating pattern does not lead to weight gain. view more (2006-01-04)
Enzyme promotes fat formation
The enzyme TPPII may contribute to obesity by stimulating the formation of fat cells, suggests a study in EMBO reports this week. The enzyme, TPPII, has previously been linked to making people feel hungry, but Jonathan Graff and colleagues now show that it may be even more deeply involved in causing obesity. view more (2007-10-12)
Exercise reduces risk of heart disease in postmenopausal women
Aerobic exercise significantly decreased the chemical imbalances that can lead to heart disease and stroke in postmenopausal women according to a study in the spring issue of the Journal of Women and Aging. view more (2008-03-18)
A link between antidepressants and type 2 diabetes
While analyzing data from Saskatchewan health databases, Lauren Brown, researcher with the U of A's School of Public Health, found people with a history of depression had a 30 per cent increased risk of type 2 Diabetes. view more (2008-03-26)
Bad cholesterol inhibits the breakdown of peripheral fat
he so called bad cholesterol (LDL) inhibits the breakdown of fat in cells of peripheral deposits, according to a study from the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet. The discovery reveals a novel function of LDL as a regulator of fat turnover besides its well-established detrimental effects in promoting atherosclerosis. view more (2008-11-20)
For dialysis patients, skinny is dangerous
