Microwaves offer fat chance to probe supermarket food
Microwaves used for zapping instant meals can also be used to determine the fat and salt content of supermarket food, according to research carried out at two Manchester universities.   view more (2007-09-20)

Protein made by fat cells may increase risk of heart attack in older adults
Adiponectin, a protein produced by fat cells, may play a pivotal and counterintuitive role in cardiovascular health for older Americans according to a new study accepted for publication in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM).   view more (2008-07-30)

Eating and weight gain not necessarily linked, study shows
A new study shows that increased eating does not necessarily lead to increased fat. The finding in the much-studied roundworm opens the possibility of identifying new targets for drugs to control weight, the researchers say.   view more (2008-06-04)

Researchers at UH Explore use of Fat Cells as Heart Attack Therapy
For those of us trained to read nutrition labels, conventional wisdom tells us that fat isn't good for the heart. But a team of University of Houston researchers has set out to use fat cells to beef up heart muscles damaged by heart attack - and they're using an out-of-this-world device to do it.    view more (2008-10-28)

Sugars in liver found to clear fats from the bloodstream
Maybe you ate a big, juicy steak for dinner last night, adding a large amount of fat - scientifically known as triglycerides - to your system. For one in ten of us, that could be a big problem.   view more (2007-01-03)

Impact of exercise on body fat is different for boys and girls
The impact of exercise on body fat differs for boys and girls, suggests research published ahead of print in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.   view more (2007-03-29)

Calorie density key to losing weight
Eating smart, not eating less, may be the key to losing weight. A year-long clinical trial by Penn State researchers shows that diets focusing on foods that are low in calorie density can promote healthy weight loss while helping people to control hunger.   view more (2007-06-08)

Study finds fitness level, not body fat, may be stronger predictor of longevity for older adults
Adults over age 60 who had higher levels of cardiorespiratory fitness lived longer than unfit adults, independent of their levels of body fat, according to a study in the December 5 issue of JAMA.   view more (2007-12-05)

Community-intervention study links successful town makeover focused on boosting calcium and exercise
The battle against obesity in this country could be tackled one community at a time, according to a newly published study in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health. Researchers at the University of Colorado at Denver demonstrated the effectiveness of changing behaviors at a community level,... view more (2008-03-20)

Theory of facial aging gets a facelift from UT Southwestern researchers
The longstanding idea that the entire human face ages uniformly is in need of a facelift, say researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center who have found that multiple, distinct compartments of fat in the face age at different rates.   view more (2007-08-06)

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)

Scientists discover way to regulate the body's energy expenditure
Scientists have discovered a protein that controls the amount of fat stored in the body, offering new clues for obesity treatments. The research, published in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shows how the protein regulates the activity of a key gene responsible for... view more (2004-06-02)

Researchers discover how a high-fat diet causes type 2 diabetes

It is possible to predict the quality of veal
Carrying out measurements on carcasses - such as the thickness of the dorsal fat mass or the veining in the meat by means of ultrasonic technology - enables a determination to be made of the amount of fat or the flavour of the veal, essential parameters for establishing its quality. This is the... view more (2005-04-26)

New potential drug target for the treatment of atherosclerosis
A nuclear receptor protein, known for controlling the ability of cells to burn fat, also exerts powerful anti-inflammatory effects in arteries, suppressing atherosclerosis in mice prone to developing the harmful plaques, according to new research by scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological... view more (2008-03-05)

Producing lamb's meat with low fat content
