Severe Hypoglycemia is Rare After Islet Transplantation
Episodes of dangerously low blood glucose, or hypoglycemia, were greatly reduced in people who received an islet transplant for poorly controlled type 1 diabetes, according to an analysis of outcomes in 138 patients who had the procedure at 19 medical centers in the United States and Canada.   view more (2005-09-07)

Alcohol not likely to protect against type II diabetes
Alcohol is unlikely to protect drinkers from the risk of developing adult onset (type II) diabetes, concludes research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Alcohol seems to confer only a slight advantage in moderate drinkers, the research shows. To date, the effects of light to... view more (2002-06-20)

Fitness-oriented gym classes demonstrate measurable health benefits for overweight children
Overweight children who took part in lifestyle-focused, fitness-oriented gym classes showed significant improvement in body composition, fitness, and insulin levels.   view more (2005-10-04)

Human hormone blocker found to help prevent obesity and diabetes: study
A new study finds that a chemical found in the body is capable of promoting weight loss, improving insulin resistance and reversing diabetes in an animal model. The hormone is gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) receptor blockade.   view more (2008-01-04)

Children of diabetics show signs of atherosclerosis
The blood vessels of people whose parents both have type 2 diabetes do not respond as well to changes in blood flow as those of people without a family history of diabetes, even if they do not have diabetes themselves.   view more (2006-06-21)

Low-carb diets can affect dieters' cognition skills
A new study from the psychology department at Tufts University shows that when dieters eliminate carbohydrates from their meals, they performed more poorly on memory-based tasks than when they reduce calories, but maintain carbohydrates. When carbohydrates were reintroduced, cognition skills... view more (2008-12-12)

Fatty acids and caveolin-1 are essential in liver regeneration
Liver regulates lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolism. It also segregates a number of proteins and enzymes, and eliminates toxic substances from the organism. Liver regeneration is a mostly unknown process at a molecular level, although it is essential for the good functioning of the liver,... view more (2006-09-19)

Despite overeating, morbidly obese mice gain protection against diabetes
The "world's fattest mice" can overeat without developing insulin resistance or diabetes thanks to a glut of a key hormone, a dichotomy that helps explain why not all obese people are diabetic, a UT Southwestern Medical Center researcher has found.   view more (2007-08-24)

Combination scanner may increase accuracy in detecting spread, recurrence of head, neck cancer
A highly powerful scanner combining two state-of-the-art technologies - computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) - may detect the spread of head and neck cancer more accurately than other widely used imaging examinations.   view more (2005-07-28)

Metabolic syndrome affects nearly 1 in 10 US teens

Changes in Ocean Circulation Could Lead To Rapid Regional Sea Level Change
One of the major consequences of future ocean circulation changes would be sea level change. This is shown in a new study by scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany which was published in the recent issue of "Climate Dynamics". They investigated the scenario of... view more (2005-04-04)
