A potential sugar fix for tumors
Researchers at the Duke School of Medicine apparently have solved the riddle of why cancer cells like sugar so much, and it may be a mechanism that could lead to better cancer treatments. view more (2008-04-16)
ESC Congress 2004: Glucose Abnormalities in patients with Myocardial Infarction
This trial reveals important new information on the relation between reduced ability to handle glucose (sugar) and acute heart attacks. view more (2004-08-31)
Current screening test for prediabetes in children misses the diagnosis too often
Obese children, who are at increased risk for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, may not be getting the most appropriate test to screen for these conditions, a new Canadian study found. view more (2008-06-16)
ESC Congress 2004: Effect of concentric and eccentric muscle training on glucose tolerance in healthy sedentary individuals
Disorders in the metabolism of glucose and lipids have reached an epidemic dimension. Important reasons for this tremendous problem are overweight and a lack of exercise. There are plenty of data verifying a positive effect of exercise on glucose and lipid metabolism. However, no data are available on different ways of training, e.g. the... view more... (2004-08-30)
How protein-rich diets curb hunger
Researchers have uncovered new evidence to explain the observation that diets rich in protein stunt the appetite, according to a report in the November Cell Metabolism. view more (2005-11-09)
Antidepressant drug may prevent recurrence of depression in patients with diabetes
A team of researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that an antidepressant medication may reduce the risk of recurrent depression and increase the length of time between depressive episodes in patients with diabetes. view more (2006-05-09)
Apelin to rescue diabetics
Sugar is naturally present in the blood in the form of glucose and is stored in the liver or adipose tissue (fat) thanks to the action of insulin. Glucose is stored or directly used to ensure satisfactory function of the heart, brain and so on according to the body's demands. view more (2008-11-05)
From diagnostic tool to cancer therapy
Cancer patients could be benefiting more than they realise from diagnostic scans. Research published today in Breast Cancer Research suggests that a radioactive molecule widely used to evaluate advanced tumours can kill cancer cells. Dr Ekaterina Dadachova and her team from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, USA,... view more... (2003-08-20)
Not so sweet: Over-consumption of sugar linked to aging
We know that lifespan can be extended in animals by restricting calories such as sugar intake. view more (2009-03-06)
Glucose challenge test is accurate and economical for diabetes and prediabetes screening
A test commonly used to help identify women with diabetes during pregnancy may be an accurate, convenient and inexpensive way to screen the general population for unrecognized diabetes and prediabetes, according to Emory University researchers. view more (2009-06-26)
Cholesterol drug hits diabetes with one-two punch, Tulane study says
Patients with type 2 diabetes may soon be able to control their glucose and their cholesterol levels with a single drug. view more (2007-07-09)
Key regulator of blood glucose levels discovered
In many patients with type 2 diabetes, the liver acts like a sugar factory on overtime, churning out glucose throughout the day, even when blood glucose levels are high. view more (2005-09-08)
Small RNA plays parallel roles in bacterial metabolism
They are often overlooked, and were once thought to be too small to contribute much to major cellular processes, but in recent years the study of small ribonucleic acids (sRNA) has gained momentum. view more (2007-11-30)
New approach targets gut hormone to lower blood sugar levels
A research team led by Dr. Tony Lam at the Toronto General Research Institute and the University of Toronto discovered a novel function of a hormone found in the gut that might potentially lower glucose levels in diabetes. view more (2009-08-06)
Unexpected function for a key regulator of blood glucose levels
Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies then reported their discovery of a key cellular switch that instructs the liver to produce more glucose when blood sugar levels run low. view more (2005-11-10)
How insulin-producing cells develop -- new finding could help fight against diabetes
A key aspect of how embryos create the cells which secrete insulin is revealed in a new study published tomorrow (18 May) in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. view more (2007-05-18)
Ghrelin: A player in diabetes but not obesity?
Ghrelin, a hormone long considered a key player in obesity, may instead take a major role in maintaining the balance between insulin and glucose and the development of diabetes. view more (2006-05-10)
Blood sugar's manufacture limited by building blocks' supply
Researchers have discovered a factor that controls blood sugar's manufacture in a novel way: by limiting the supply of its building blocks. The findings are reported in the April issue of the journal Cell Metabolism, published by Cell Press. view more (2007-04-04)
During exercise, the human brain shifts into high gear on 'alternative energy'
Alternative energy is all the rage in major media headlines, but for the human brain, this is old news. According to a study by researchers from Denmark and The Netherlands published in the October 2008 print issue of The FASEB Journal, the brain, just like muscles, works harder during strenuous exercise and is fueled by lactate, rather than... view more...

Dangerous interaction between cholesterol-lowering drug and antidiabetic drug
Researchers from the University of Helsinki, Finland have found that the cholesterol-lowering agent gemfibrozil (marketed as Lopid and generics) greatly increases the concentrations of repaglinide (Novonorm, Prandin) in blood. This interaction considerably enhances and prolongs the blood glucose-lowering effect of repaglinide. Concomitant use of... view more... (2003-04-16)
