Your gut has taste receptors
Researchers in the Department of Neuroscience at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have identified taste receptors in the human intestines. view more (2007-08-21)
Virtual food components take the guesswork out of healthy eating
Nutritional information as provided on food labels tell us little about the effects various food components actually have on our body. But that could change, thanks to a novel concept described by New Zealand researcher Dr John Monro in Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture this month - the use of virtual food components (VFCs) to... view more...

100M pounds a year spent on self-monitoring in diabetes that may increase anxiety and depression
The National Health Service (NHS) in the UK is spending £100 million a year to help people with non-insulin treated type 2 diabetes monitor their own blood sugar levels, but the process is more likely to make them depressed than provide any long-term health benefits, according to a series of articles published ahead of print on bmj.com today. view more (2008-04-18)
The battle for CRTC2: How obesity increases the risk for diabetes
Obesity is probably the most important factor in the development of insulin resistance, but science's understanding of the chain of events is still spotty. view more (2009-06-22)
Unexpected role: EGFR protects cancer cells from starving
A growth factor receptor found abundantly on the surface of cancer cells and long known to fuel cancer growth also protects tumor cells from starvation by a newly identified mechanism. view more (2008-05-06)
Joslin-led study reveals new findings on insulin signaling in the liver
Insulin uses two distinct mechanisms to control glucose and the metabolism of blood fats (lipids) in the liver, a new Joslin Diabetes Center-led study has discovered. view more (2006-05-15)
Discovery of 'sugar sensor' in intestine could benefit diabetes
Diabetes patients could benefit from new research at the University of Liverpool that has identified a molecule in the intestine that can 'taste' the sugar content of the diet. view more (2007-08-22)
UCSF study shows suppression of telomerase enzyme can inhibit spread of melanoma
UCSF researchers have found that the spread of melanoma can be inhibited by suppressing telomerase, the enzyme active in cancer cell growth. view more (2006-07-11)
Old diabetes drug teaches experts new tricks
Research from the Johns Hopkins Children's Center reveals that the drug most commonly used in type 2 diabetics who don't need insulin works on a much more basic level than once thought, treating persistently elevated blood sugar - the hallmark of type 2 diabetes - by regulating the genes that control its production. view more (2009-05-15)
Researchers open door to potential treatments for type 2 diabetes
Researchers funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) have identified an unsuspected role of a protein named SHP-1 that could constitute a new therapeutic path against Type 2 Diabetes. view more (2006-05-30)
New evidence of how high glucose damages blood vessels could lead to new treatments
New evidence of how the elevated glucose levels that occur in diabetes damage blood vessels may lead to novel strategies for blocking the destruction, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. view more (2009-05-12)
Jefferson scientists find high glucose before surgery raises risk of dangerous complications
Patients who have high blood sugar before undergoing surgery run an increased risk of developing blood clots, deep vein thrombosis and even pulmonary embolism after surgery. view more (2006-10-16)
U of I study: Fructose metabolism more complicated than was thought
A new University of Illinois study suggests that we may pay a price for ingesting too much fructose. According to lead author Manabu Nakamura, dietary fructose affects a wide range of genes in the liver that had not previously been identified. view more (2008-12-10)
Blood sugar control before surgery associated with fewer infections afterward
Patients with diabetes who have good control of blood glucose levels before having surgery may be less likely to have infections after their procedures. view more (2006-04-18)
UT-Houston's Northrup and Colleagues Uncover Genetic Link to Spina Bifida
Researchers at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston have discovered an association between genes regulating glucose metabolism and spina bifida. The decade-long study looked at more than 1,500 DNA samples from parents and their children with that birth defect. view more (2007-12-19)
MU Researcher Develops Screening Tool to Identify Patients with Prediabetes
A third of Americans with diabetes do not know that they have it, and many more who have prediabetic conditions are unaware that they are at risk. view more (2008-12-05)
Insulin levels and resistance linked to risk of pancreatic cancer
Higher insulin concentrations and insulin resistance are associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer in men. view more (2005-12-14)
UCSF discovers new glucose-regulating protein linked with diabetes
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, and collaborators at Harvard Medical School have linked a specialized protein in human muscles to the process that clears glucose out of the bloodstream, shedding light on what goes wrong in type 2 diabetes on a cellular level. view more (2009-05-29)
Pluronic L-81 is a potential anti-diabetic drug?
Pluronic surfactants are synthetic copolymers based on ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. view more (2009-07-08)
Joslin Researchers Discover a Surprising Culprit in the Search for Causes of Diabetic Birth Defects
Over the past several years, Joslin Investigator Mary R. Loeken, Ph.D., and her colleagues at Joslin Diabetes Center have unlocked several mysteries behind what puts women with diabetes more at risk of having a child with birth defects. view more (2007-03-06)
