MRI identifies 'hidden' fat that puts adolescents at risk for disease
According to a new study featured in the March issue of Radiology, single-slice magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a fast, non-invasive way to measure intra-abdominal fat, which when excessive, may put children and teenagers at risk for developing heart disease, diabetes and other illnesses. view more (2007-02-28)
Fat and smart - the perfect combination?
The reason why human babies are so plump is related to the energetic needs of our uniquely enlarged brain claim a team of scientists in the latest edition of the American Journal of Human Biology.
