UAB Research Finds Childbearing Increases Chance of Developing the Metabolic Syndrome
Childbearing is associated directly with future development of the metabolic syndrome - abdominal obesity, high triglycerides, insulin resistance and other cardiovascular disease risk factors - and for women who have had gestational diabetes, the risk is more than twice greater. view more (2009-09-23)
Molecular imaging technology used in gastric cancer
Modern cancer care is critically dependent on imaging technologies, which are used to detect early tumors and guide their therapy or surgery. Molecular imaging technologies provide information about the functional or metabolic characteristics of malignancies, tumor stage and therapeutical response, and tumor recurrence; whereas conventional... view more...

Cherries may help reduce metabolic syndrome and heart disease risk factors
Increasing intake of antioxidant-rich cherries may help lower the risk of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease, suggests a new study(1) presented today at the Experimental Biology annual meeting. view more (2007-04-30)
A link between mitochondria and tumor formation in stem cells
Researchers report on a previously unknown relationship between stem cell potency and the metabolic rate of their mitochondria -a cell's energy makers. Stem cells with more active mitochondria also have a greater capacity to differentiate and are more likely to form tumors. view more (2008-10-13)
Obesity genetics
New evidence that genetics plays a key role in obesity is published today in the International Journal of Bioinformatics Research and Applications. The findings relate to the genetics of modern Pima Indians who have an unusually high rate of obesity but could be extrapolated to all people. view more (2007-10-16)
Using yeast to spot hidden genes and unravel the cause of genetic disorders
The yeast used by brewers and bakers is helping scientists discover hidden genes and unlock the secrets of inherited diseases in humans. With a large proportion of the 6,000 genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae coding for proteins with counterparts in humans, scientists can use the organism as a test-bed for developing new techniques and exploring... view more...

New evidence on the robustness of metabolic networks
Biological systems are constantly evolving in ways that increase their fitness for survival amidst environmental fluctuations and internal errors. view more (2008-09-05)
Human brains pay a price for being big
Metabolic changes responsible for the evolution of our unique cognitive abilities indicate that the brain may have been pushed to the limit of its capabilities. Research published today in BioMed Central's open access journal Genome Biology adds weight to the theory that schizophrenia is a costly by-product of human brain evolution. view more (2008-08-05)
Study finds that people are programmed to love chocolate
For the first time, scientists have linked the all-too-human preference for a food - chocolate - to a specific, chemical signature that may be programmed into the metabolic system and is detectable by laboratory tests. The signature reads 'chocolate lover' in some people and indifference to the popular sweet in others, the researchers say. view more (2007-10-12)
Jefferson researchers find lack of protein in obese people is risk factor for kidney, heart disease
Jefferson researchers have found that mice with low levels of the protein hormone adiponectin may also have high levels of a protein called albumin which, in humans, may be a sign of kidney disease. view more (2005-11-16)
Research suggests vegetable juice may help people with metabolic syndrome lose weight
Drinking at least one glass of low sodium vegetable juice daily may help overweight people with metabolic syndrome achieve better weight loss results. view more (2009-04-20)
Estimating the risk of cancer
Dutch scientists have developed a new tumour growth model in which the tumour is a part of the host's body. The model reveals that a low-calorie diet delays the growth of a tumour, and thus increases the life expectancy. Furthermore, tumours were found to develop faster in younger than in older hosts. Ingeborg van Leeuwen has developed a new... view more... (2003-12-19)
Transplanting human gut bugs into mice helps understanding of metabolic system
Bugs found in the guts of humans, which play an important part in people's metabolic makeup, have been transplanted into mice to further understanding of the human and animal metabolic system. view more (2007-05-22)
Self-monitoring of blood glucose
Diabetes patients should always control their own blood sugar values if this leads to improvements in their treatment. view more (2009-09-29)
Migrating birds chill to fatten up
Marathon runners are famed for pasta packing in the days before a big run but when tiny passerine birds set out on their epic migrations, the distances are too great to cover on the energy reserves with which they embark. view more (2009-09-11)
EZETROL® Co-Administration with Statin Therapy Results in Greater LDL Cholesterol Lowering and Goal Attainment for Patients with Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome, Studies Reveal
Results from two new clinical trials show that patients with diabetes and metabolic syndrome who are treated with ezetimibe (EZETROL®) co-administered with a statin experience greater reductions in LDL ("bad") cholesterol, compared to patients taking a statin alone. The new data also demonstrates that patients with diabetes and... view more... (2004-09-07)
Study Calls For UK Childhood Screening of Metabolic Disease
Results of a study in this week's issue of The Lancet support the introduction of early screening for the metabolic disease medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency. MCAD deficiency is a metabolic disorder which affects up to 1 in 9000 people in the UK. It can be controlled with appropriate carbohydrate intake, but is especially... view more... (2001-09-26)
A new weapon in the fight against obesity and diabetes
A study appearing November 5 in the journal Cell Metabolism demonstrates that a synthetic new chemical entity protects against diet-induced obesity, improves glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity and enhances exercise endurance by enhancing fat utilization in certain target tissues. view more (2008-11-05)
Calorie restriction causes temporal changes in liver metabolism
Moderate calorie restriction causes temporal changes in the liver and skeletal muscle metabolism, whereas moderate weight loss affects muscle. view more (2009-05-05)
Normal weight obesity: An emerging risk factor for heart and metabolic problems
More than half of American adults considered to have normal body weight in America have high body fat percentages -- greater than 20 percent for men and 30 percent for women -- as well as heart and metabolic disturbances, new Mayo Clinic research shows. view more (2008-03-28)
