Restricting diet may reverse early-stage Parkinson's disease
A new Oregon Health & Science University and Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center study suggests that early-stage Parkinson's disease patients who lower their calorie intake may boost levels of an essential brain chemical lost from the neurodegenerative disorder. view more (2005-11-16)
Researchers uncover details about how dietary restriction slows down aging
University of Washington scientists have uncovered details about the mechanisms through which dietary restriction slows the aging process. view more (2008-04-18)
Joslin study finds restricting insulin doses increases mortality risk
A new study led by researchers at the Joslin Diabetes Center has found that women with type 1 diabetes who reported taking less insulin than prescribed had a three-fold increased risk of death and higher rates of disease complications than those who did not skip needed insulin shots. view more (2008-02-27)
Endurance Athletes Could Benefit From Surgical Release Of Kinked Leg Arteries (p 466)
Flow restrictions in leg arteries of endurance athletes are commonly caused by kinking and could be easily resolved by a straightforward surgical procedure, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Endurance athletes-especially cyclists and speed skaters-often have restrictions in blood flow in their iliac arteries (the... view more... (2002-02-06)
A Possible Mechanism For Pre-eclampsia? (p 1511)
Results of a preliminary study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that there may be future tests to determine whether pregnant women are at risk of developing pre-eclampsia, a serious disorder of late pregnancy. Up to 8% of pregnant women develop pre-eclampsia (pregnancy-induced high blood pressure and presence of protein in the urine,... view more... (2003-04-30)
Gene deficiency is a protective barrier to obesity
A search for the molecular clues of longevity has taken Mayo Clinic researchers down another path that could explain why some people who consume excessive calories don't gain weight. view more (2007-06-27)
Reduced body temperature extends lifespan in study from the Scripps Research Institute
"Our study shows it is possible to increase lifespan in mice by modest but prolonged lowering of core body temperature," said Bruno Conti, an associate professor at Scripps Research who led the study. "This longer lifespan was attained independent of calorie restriction." view more (2006-11-03)
Wii Fit a promising tool for all ages
While some emerging technologies can create environments that require very little physical effort, one Kansas State University researcher thinks games like Nintendo's Wii Fit can help promote physical rather than sedentary activities for people of all ages. view more (2009-01-07)
Men who were small babies are less likely to marry
Men who were small at birth are less likely to marry, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Although the factors that lead men to marry are complex, these findings raise the possibility that early growth restriction may influence the factors involved in partner selection. Over 3,500 men, born at the Helsinki University Central Hospital, Finland,... view more... (2001-03-27)
Carbohydrate restriction may slow prostate tumor growth
Restricting carbohydrates, regardless of weight loss, appears to slow the growth of prostate tumors, according to an animal study being published this week by researchers in the Duke Prostate Center. view more (2009-05-27)
What are the characteristics of clarithromycin-resistant Helicobacter pylori?
Clarithromycin is currently one of the antibiotics used for eradication of Helicobacter pylori. However, reports of H. pylori resistance to this antibiotic are increasing worldwide. view more (2009-07-16)
Self-Hypnosis Was Found To Be Effective On Hay Fever Symptoms
A group of researchers of the University of Basel has performed a randomized controlled trial on the use of self-hypnosis (which was likely to induce relaxation) on a hay fever symptoms. Many people suffer from hay fever symptoms. Hypnosis has proved to be a useful adjunct in the treatment of conditions where allergic phenomena have an important... view more... (2005-04-21)
Activating protein enhances average lifespan, limits age-related disease in mice
Metabolism researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that although it does not extend maximum lifespan in mice, activating a protein in muscle tissue increases average lifespan and prevents some age-related diseases. view more (2007-12-05)
Test detects molecular marker of aging in humans
In 2004, researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center announced a crucial discovery in the understanding of cellular aging. view more (2009-06-16)
Vitamin extends life in yeast, Dartmouth Medical School researchers find
Imagine taking a vitamin for longevity! Not yet, but a Dartmouth discovery that a cousin of niacin prolongs lifespan in yeast brings the tantalizing possibility a step closer. view more (2007-05-04)
What you eat depends on with whom you eat
If you are a woman who dines with a man, chances are you choose food with fewer calories than if you dine with a woman. view more (2009-08-06)
Consuming small amounts of caffeine when pregnant may affect the growth of an unborn child
Consuming caffeine at any time during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of fetal growth restriction (low birth weight). view more (2008-11-03)
Weekends slow weight loss, researchers find
Saturday can be the worst enemy for our waistlines, according to researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2008-07-02)
Obesity genetics
New evidence that genetics plays a key role in obesity is published today in the International Journal of Bioinformatics Research and Applications. The findings relate to the genetics of modern Pima Indians who have an unusually high rate of obesity but could be extrapolated to all people. view more (2007-10-16)
Sleep restriction results in increased consumption of energy from snacks
Bedtime restriction in an environment that promotes overeating and inactivity is accompanied by increased intake of calories from snacks. view more (2008-06-11)
