Eating soy protein helps control cholesterol
Soy protein helps lower total cholesterol, low-density lipid "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides, and slightly raises high-density lipid "good" cholesterol. view more (2006-09-21)
UCLA study finds same genes act differently in males and females
UCLA researchers report that thousands of genes behave differently in the same organs of males and females — something never detected to this degree. view more (2006-07-10)
Jefferson Scientists Uncover Lethal Gene Mutation Key to Blocking Cholesterol Processing
When Jefferson Medical College researcher Shiu-Ying Ho, Ph.D., and her colleagues first created a mutation that limited the absorption of lipids and cholesterol into the bloodstream in zebrafish, the possibilities seemed endless. view more (2006-04-20)
Leanest teens are biggest energy users and consumers
Teens who are most physically active and consume the most calories are the leanest, researchers say. view more (2007-04-09)
Blocking an inter-generational cycle of obesity
Being exposed to high levels of nutrition before birth can influence the development of networks within the brain that regulate appetite to permanently set a pattern of appetite for life, according to researchers from the University of South Australia. view more (2006-11-22)
University of Florida study shows leptin could combat type 2 diabetes
University of Florida researchers have discovered the appetite-controlling hormone leptin could also combat type 2 diabetes, a disease that has become a growing problem in the United States as more Americans pack on extra pounds. view more (2006-09-21)
Eating less fat may lower breast-cancer risk, have little impact on colon-cancer, heart-disease risk
Adopting a low-fat diet in later life and following such a regimen for nearly a decade does not appear to have a significant impact on reducing the overall risk of breast cancer, colorectal cancer or heart disease. view more (2006-02-08)
Location, location — Cell sizes, lives influenced by host size
Cells from the smallest to the largest of mammals often seem to be "one size fits all." Now a closer look reveals that whether a cell lives in an elephant, mouse or something in between can make a big difference in its life. view more (2007-03-09)
Burgers, fries, diet soda: Metabolic syndrome blue-plate special
Otherwise-healthy adults who eat two or more servings of meat a day - the equivalent of two burger patties - increase their risk of developing metabolic syndrome by 25 percent compared with those who eat meat twice a week, according to research published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2008-01-23)
Study identifies glucose 'sensor' that plays dual role in glucose metabolism and fat synthesis
In the study, glucose is shown to stimulate the activity of the Liver X Receptors (LXR) a and b, The LXRs act as sensors of dietary components, orchestrating the body's response to nutrients such as oxysterols (short-lived derivatives of cholesterol) and controlling gene expression linked to cholesterol and fat metabolism. view more (2006-12-27)
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)
Scripps research scientists test anti-obesity vaccine
In the new study, mature male rats immunized with specific types of the active vaccine ate normally yet gained less weight and had less body fat, indicating that the vaccine directly affects the body's metabolism and energy use. view more (2006-08-01)
Leptin found to control appetite and limb development in frogs
Leptin, the hormone secreted by fat cells that plays an important role in food intake, has been described for the first time in a cold-blooded vertebrate, the South African clawed frog Xenopus. view more (2006-06-13)
Mayo Clinic Proceedings article explores possible link between obesity and viral infections
Experts don't dispute the important role that diet and activity play in maintaining a healthy weight. But can poor eating habits and a less active lifestyle fully explain the prevalence of obesity in the United States today? view more (2007-10-24)
Researchers show how air pollution can cause heart disease
New York University School of Medicine researchers provide some of the most compelling evidence yet that long-term exposure to air pollution-even at levels within federal standards-causes heart disease. view more (2005-12-21)
Worker ants store fat to share with colony members during times of need
In a fascinating new study from the September/October 2006 issue of Physiological and Biochemical Zoology, Daniel A. Hahn (University of Florida) explores the ability of ants to store excess fat and pass it to colony members through lipid-rich oral secretions or unfertilized eggs. view more (2006-07-27)
Why the 'perfect' body isn't always perfect
Having an imperfect body may come with some substantial benefits for some women, according to a new article in the December issue of Current Anthropology. view more (2008-12-03)
Ozone can affect heavier people more
A new study provides the first evidence that people with higher body mass index (BMI) may have a greater response to ozone than leaner people. view more (2007-11-27)
A bulging midriff roughly doubles women's chances of gallstone surgery
A bulging midriff almost doubles a woman's chances of developing gallstones and the need for surgery to remove them, finds an extensive study published ahead of print in Gut. view more (2006-02-13)
Fatty Liver a Possible Risk for Hypertension
The accumulation of fat in the liver, or "fatty liver," resulting from accumulation of central body fat, and perhaps not alcohol consumption, may represent an important underlying mechanism for the association between liver enzymes and hypertension. view more (2005-11-03)
