Study by Einstein researchers could lead to a novel strategy for treating obesity
In their latest finding on the brain's role in controlling appetite and weight, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine have shown that reducing levels of fatty acids in the hypothalamus causes rats to overeat and become obese. view more (2006-01-16)
Cocaine's effects on brain metabolism may contribute to abuse
Many studies on cocaine addiction - and attempts to block its addictiveness - have focused on dopamine transporters, proteins that reabsorb the brain's "reward" chemical once its signal is sent. view more (2008-02-19)
Link between obesity and diabetes discovered
A Monash University study has proven a critical link between obesity and the onset of Type 2 diabetes, a discovery which could lead to the design of a drug to prevent the disease. view more (2009-07-08)
Drug could improve pregnancy outcomes in wider range of women with insulin resistance
Women who are obese, have type 2 diabetes or a family history of type 2 diabetes could one day have more successful pregnancies because of a study at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2007-09-07)
Telemedicine may improve care for school children with diabetes

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)
CHEO RI study uses sophisticated genetic engineering to improve insulin-producing beta cells
One of the biggest mysteries about diabetes is why specialized cells in the pancreas stop secreting insulin, which the body needs in order to store glucose from food. view more (2009-10-08)
Overweight Hispanic children shown to have vascular inflammation
Overweight Hispanic children with normal blood glucose (sugar) levels showed elevated markers for blood vessel inflammation that may predispose them to developing both type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, says a new study led by researchers from the Joslin Diabetes Center. view more (2008-02-27)

PIONEERING LOW-COST MEDICAL SCANNER DEVELOPED IN THE UK
A new type of medical imaging camera which is much less expensive than its conventional counterpart has been developed by researchers funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. The imaging method - positron emission tomography - is becoming increasingly important in the diagnosis of many diseases, especially cancer.Clinical... view more... (2000-07-10)
Fatty diets or high alcohol intake during pregnancy may lead to diabetes in children
Fatty diets or high alcohol intake during pregnancy may lead to diabetes in children Women who consume a high fat diet or who drink significant amounts of alcohol during pregnancy may increase the risk of their child developing diabetes as an adult according to a study in the current edition of the Journal of Endocrinology. A team led by Dr Sam... view more... (2002-04-25)
Progression of retinal disease linked to cell starvation
