Even modest exercise can reduce negative effects of belly fat
A new University of Illinois study suggests that moderate amounts of exercise alone can reduce the inflammation in visceral fat--belly fat, if you will--that has been linked with metabolic syndrome, a group of risk factors that predict heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. view more (2009-04-24)
Conflict between plant and animal hormones in the insect gut?
Cis-OPDA (12-oxophytodienoic acid) is a highly reactive plant hormone which simultaneously serves as a precursor molecule of the metabolic "master switch" jasmonic acid. view more (2009-09-15)
Protein target for diabetes drug regulates blood pressure
University of Iowa researchers have identified a molecular pathway in blood vessels that controls blood pressure and vascular function and may help explain why certain drugs for type II diabetes also appear to lower patients' blood pressure. The study is published in the March 5 issue of Cell Metabolism. view more (2008-03-05)
Researchers find that screening children for heart disease risk helps to identify parents at risk
Screening children for risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease can help identify parents at risk for the condition, providing an opportunity for medical intervention in both children and their parents, according to research at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. view more (2006-12-06)
Energetic bottleneck factors in catastrophic winter seabird losses
It's a terrible sight: hundreds of dead seabirds washed up on the seashore. These catastrophic events occur in the winter and are known as winter wrecks. view more (2009-07-17)
NIEHS researchers link gene variation to coronary heart disease
New research at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, part of the National Institutes of Health, found that a common genetic variation makes some people more susceptible to coronary heart disease (CHD). view more (2006-05-12)
Strength training combined with a low energy diet best for obese kids
A low energy diet combined with strength training seems the best way of tackling childhood obesity, shows research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2002-05-20)
New possibilities for hydrogen-producing algae
Photosynthesis produces the food that we eat and the oxygen that we breathe ― could it also help satisfy our future energy needs by producing clean-burning hydrogen? view more (2009-03-25)
Study shows link between morbid obesity, low IQ in toddlers
University of Florida researchers have discovered a link between morbid obesity in toddlers and lower IQ scores, cognitive delays and brain lesions similar to those seen in Alzheimer's disease patients, a new study shows. view more (2006-09-01)
Being overweight may independently increase risk for heart disease events
Being moderately overweight or obese appears to increase the risk for developing coronary heart disease events independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. view more (2007-09-11)
Smoking, high blood pressure and being overweight top 3 preventable causes of death in the US
Smoking, high blood pressure and being overweight are the leading preventable risk factors for premature mortality in the United States, according to a new study led by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), with collaborators from the University of Toronto and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University... view more...

Are bone marrow mononuclear cells effective in reducing hepatic lesions?
Liver fibrosis occurs in the setting of chronic injury caused by different etiologies constituting a serious worldwide public health problem. In addition to schistosomiasis, hepatopathies due to alcohol, viral hepatitis, drugs, metabolic and autoimmune diseases, and congenital abnormalities are important causes of liver fibrosis. view more (2008-10-24)
Metabolic disorder not well-suited for inclusion in newborn screening programs
A metabolic disorder that can lead to developmental delay and other problems is more common than previously assumed, but does not meet major criteria for inclusion in newborn screening programs at this time. view more (2006-08-23)
Existing anti-obesity drugs may be effective against flu, hepatitis and HIV
Viruses dramatically increase cellular metabolism, and existing anti-obesity drugs may represent a new way to block these metabolic changes and inhibit viral infection, according to a study published today in the journal Nature Biotechnology. view more (2008-09-29)
Did walking on 2 feet begin with a shuffle?
Somewhere in the murky past, between four and seven million years ago, a hungry common ancestor of today's primates, including humans, did something novel. view more (2008-05-30)
Weight cycling associated with increased risk for gallstones among men
Intentionally losing weight and then regaining it may increase men's risk for gallstones later in life. view more (2006-11-28)
Nutrition and heredity are genetically linked
A challenging goal in biology is to understand how the principal cellular functions are integrated so that cells achieve viability and optimal fitness under a wide range of nutritional conditions. view more (2007-05-17)
Study shows enzyme builds neurotransmitters via newly discovered pathway
The new study describes a pathway-different than the one previously suggested-for the biosynthesis of neurotransmitter lipids, N-acyl ethanolamines (NAEs), which include the endogenous cannabinoid ("endocannabinoid") anandamide. view more (2006-09-12)
New journal shows half-broken gene is enough to cause cancer
Tumour suppressor genes do not necessarily require both alleles to be knocked out before disease phenotypes are expressed. Research published in BioMed Central's new open access journal PathoGenetics reveals that only one allele of SMAD4 has to be damaged to put a person at risk of pancreatic and colorectal cancer. view more (2008-11-04)
Sherry â€" Shown to have Health Benefits
New research published in Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture suggests that sherry may have the same health benefits as red wine. Sherry contains antioxidants that help control cholesterol levels, say Spanish scientists. Studies by researchers at University of Seville have shown that sherry, like red wine, contains antioxidants called... view more... (2004-03-17)
