Researchers study how pistachios may improve heart health
Going green may be heart healthy if the green you choose is pistachio nuts, according to researchers at Penn State who conducted the first study to investigate the way pistachios lower cholesterol.   view more (2008-09-29)

How appetite-stimulating brain cells work overtime during fasting
During periods of fasting, brain cells responsible for stimulating the appetite make sure that you stay hungry. Now, a new study of mice reported in the January issue of the journal Cell Metabolism, published by Cell Press, reveals the complex series of molecular events that keep those neurons... view more (2007-01-03)

Overweight Hispanic children at significant risk for pre-diabetes, according to new USC study
A study by researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) found that overweight Hispanic children are at significant risk for pre-diabetes, a condition marked by higher than normal blood glucose levels that are not yet high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes.   view more (2008-08-13)

Nanoballs deliver drugs
Dutch researcher Cristianne Rijcken has developed a new type of biodegradable nanoparticle. The spherical structures can encapsulate various fat-soluble medicines, which makes it easier to target tumour tissue.   view more (2007-10-25)

Cortisol and fatty liver: Researchers find cause of severe metabolic disorders
A healthy body stores fat in the form of so-called triglycerides in specialized fatty tissue as an energy reserve. Under certain conditions the delicate balance of the lipid metabolism gets out of control and fat is accumulated in the liver, leading to the dreaded fatty liver.   view more (2008-09-10)

Butterflies lose body fat during metamorphosis
A group of scientists from Oregon have discovered that butterflies experience a great loss in body fat during metamorphosis.   view more (2006-03-21)

Trans fat ban: Watch saturated fats and calories too
In December, New York City passed a law to phase out the use of trans fat in restaurants. Other cities, including Boston and Chicago, might follow suit.   view more (2006-12-26)

Unfavourable blood fat levels predict rheumatoid arthritis up to 10 years later
An unfavourable ratio of blood fats could herald the development of the inflammatory joint disease rheumatoid arthritis up to 10 years later, suggests research published ahead of print in the Annals of Rheumatic Diseases.   view more (2006-06-05)

BC biologists identify alternative brain cancer treatment
Boston College biologists have identified an alternative, diet-based method of treating brain cancer that does not involve administering toxic chemicals, radiation or invasive surgery.   view more (2007-02-21)

Eating more often can reduce cholesterol levels
Eating frequently is associated with lower blood cholesterol concentrations, finds a study in this week's BMJ, suggesting that we need to consider not just what we eat but how often we eat.   view more (2001-11-28)

The right kind of oil
Children who cannot eat on their own because of intestinal failure must rely on parenteral nutrition (PN), an intravenous method of feeding.   view more (2006-07-05)

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)

Disrupted genetic regulation causes common disturbance in metabolism of fat
The disease familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH) is a common cause of disturbed metabolism of fat and early heart attacks. Uppsala University scientists have now developed a pioneering method and can show for the first time what genes are regulated by the gene USF1, which is known to cause the... view more (2008-02-06)

Low-glycemic index diet promotes weight loss, cardiovascular risk reduction
A diet high in carbohydrates but low on the glycemic index, which measures the impact of carbohydrates on blood sugar levels, may help promote weight loss, decrease body fat and reduce cardiovascular disease risk.   view more (2006-07-25)

A common denominator of inflammations and fatty liver
Many cancer patients lose a lot of weight during their disease: Fat and muscle mass are reduced, free fatty acids accumulate in the liver, and this eventually leads to fatty liver in affected patients.   view more (2008-05-28)

Accessory protein determines whether pheromones are detected
Pheromones are like the molecules you taste as you chomp on a greasy french fry: big and fatty.   view more (2007-10-18)

Kids at risk: Assessing diet and exercise behaviors in adolescents
Do adolescents get enough exercise and eat the right foods? Is there too much fat in their diets? In a study published in the February 2007 issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, researchers analyzed the behavior of almost 900 11-to-15 year-olds and found that nearly 80% had multiple... view more (2007-01-29)

Common cooking spice shows promise in combating diabetes and obesity
Turmeric, an Asian spice found in many curries, has a long history of use in reducing inflammation, healing wounds and relieving pain, but can it prevent diabetes?   view more (2008-06-23)

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)

Factor stimulates cartilage growth from stem cells
A novel growth factor significantly improves the ability of specialized stem cells derived from human fat to be transformed into cartilage cells, according to Duke University Medical Center and Pratt School of Engineering researchers.   view more (2006-04-05)

Alaska seal pup diet may hold key to decline of population
Female harbor seal pups whose blubber falls below average levels may be at higher risk of delayed sexual maturation or death, even if they get enough fat in their diets later on.   view more (2006-04-04)

Chewing up a key regulator of fat synthesis keeps mice lean despite a high-fat diet
Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have identified a novel pathway that regulates the body's ability to store or burn fat, a discovery that suggests new ways to reduce obesity, diabetes and other fat-related human diseases.   view more (2006-06-23)

Jefferson researchers find stem cells in degenerating spinal discs, potential for repair
Orthopedic researchers at Jefferson Medical College have for the first time found stem cells in the intervertebral discs of the human spine, suggesting that such cells might someday be used to help repair degenerating discs and remedy lower back and neck pain.   view more (2007-11-01)

Duke Innovations Improve Accuracy Of MRI As Internal "Thermometer"
Duke University chemists say they have developed a new way to measure temperature changes inside the body with unprecedented precision by correcting a subtle error in the original theory underlying Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).   view more (2008-10-17)
