Is telmisartan effective in treating non-alcoholic steatohepatitis?
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are well-recognized causes of progressive liver disease leading to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. view more (2009-03-03)
New study finds PET imaging value in tracking diabetes progression
"Diabetes is the only major disease with a death rate that continues to be on the upswing," proclaimed a front-page New York Times story this week. view more (2006-05-19)
Findings show insulin - not genes - linked to obesity
Researchers have uncovered new evidence suggesting factors other than genes could cause obesity, finding that genetically identical cells store widely differing amounts of fat depending on subtle variations in how cells process insulin. view more (2009-04-15)
Researchers discover how a high-fat diet causes type 2 diabetes
Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have discovered a molecular link between a high-fat, Western-style diet, and the onset of type 2 diabetes. view more (2005-12-29)
Death rates same for diabetes and heart disease patients receiving drug therapy or surgery
There is no difference in mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes and stable heart disease who received prompt bypass surgery or angioplasty compared to drug therapy alone, according to a landmark study focused exclusively on patients with both conditions. view more (2009-06-08)
Difference in fat storage may explain lower rate of liver disease in African-Americans
Where different ethnic groups store fat in their bodies may account for differences in the likelihood they'll develop insulin resistance and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2009-03-27)
Structure of enzyme offers treatment clues for diabetes, Alzheimer's
Researchers from the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory have deciphered the three-dimensional structure of insulin-degrading enzyme, a promising target for new drugs because it breaks down not only insulin but also the amyloid-beta protein, which has been linked to the cognitive decline of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-10-12)
Severe sleep apnea may be a risk factor for liver damage
Many patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are obese and therefore at risk of having fatty liver, a condition in which fat accumulates in the liver cells. But the link between OSA and liver injury independent of weight has yet to be examined. view more (2005-05-25)
Team reveals molecular mechanism underlying a form of diabetes
By investigating a rare and severe form of diabetes in children, University of Iowa researchers have discovered a new molecular mechanism that regulates specialized pancreatic cells and insulin secretion. view more (2009-09-09)
Developmental changes in adolescence raise men's heart disease risk
Normal developmental changes during the teenage years leave young adult men at higher risk of heart disease than their female counterparts, researchers report in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2008-04-22)
Weight management program cuts diabetes risk, improves BMI in overweight children
A family-based weight management program developed by researchers at Yale School of Medicine was more effective at reducing weight, body fat, body mass index (BMI) and insulin sensitivity than traditional clinic-based weight counseling. view more (2007-06-27)
Ice cream may target the brain before your hips, UT Southwestern study suggests
Blame your brain for sabotaging your efforts to get back on track after splurging on an extra scoop of ice cream or that second burger during Friday night's football game. view more (2009-09-14)
LSUHSC research may benefit diabetes by increasing understanding of how to control islet cell growth
Michael Lan, PhD, Professor of Pediatrics and Genetics at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, is the senior author of a paper revealing the molecular mechanism of how a protein determines the fate of the cells that make and release insulin. view more (2009-02-18)
Scientists mine drugs database for new diabetes treatment
Scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council have harnessed a new drug discovery tool to identify a new player in the body's insulin secretion process. This finding could spark a completely new class of drugs to treat type 2 diabetes. view more (2009-02-23)
Three neuronal growth factors may be key to understanding alcohol's effects
Growth factors are a large and diverse group of polypeptides critical for the development of the central nervous system view more (2006-01-25)
Insulin receptor stops progression of Alzheimer's disease
Stimulation of a receptor in the brain that controls insulin responses has been shown to halt or diminish the neurodegeneration of Alzheimer's disease, providing evidence that the disease can be treated in its early stages. view more (2006-09-22)
A low-carb diet may stunt prostate tumor growth
A diet low in carbohydrates may help stunt the growth of prostate tumors, according to a new study led by Duke Prostate Center researchers. view more (2007-11-14)
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)
Cytokine resistance contributes to pathology of type 2 diabetes
In a study appearing this month in the Journal of Immunology, researchers at the University of Illinois describe how an impaired anti-inflammatory response plays a role in the pathology of type 2 diabetes. view more (2007-06-18)
Apple or pear shape is not main culprit to heart woes - it's liver fat
For years, pear-shaped people who carry weight in the thighs and backside have been told they are at lower risk for high blood pressure and heart disease than apple-shaped people who carry fat in the abdomen. But new findings from nutrition researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggest body-shape comparisons don't... view more... (2008-12-05)
