Gene variants linked to metabolic syndrome and HDL cholesterol levels
Nutrition researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified five common genetic variations that increase the risk of metabolic syndrome, a group of factors linked to heart disease and diabetes. Another variant they found appeared to protect against the condition. view more (2008-06-18)
Treating obesity vital for public health, physicians say
Physicians who once treated mainly elderly patients for health problems such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke are seeing increasingly younger patients who have the same ailments. view more (2006-12-04)
Lap-band weight-loss surgery can reverse metabolic syndrome in obese teens
A new study of obese adolescents has shown that laparoscopic gastric banding surgery -- the "Lap-Band" procedure -- not only helps them achieve significant weight loss but can also improve and even reverse metabolic syndrome, reducing their risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. view more (2009-07-02)
Metabolic syndrome affects nearly 1 in 10 US teens
About nine percent of teenagers may have metabolic syndrome, a clustering of risk factors that put them on the path toward heart disease and diabetes in adulthood. view more (2008-01-25)
How and where fat is stored predicts disease risk better than weight
A new study in mice indicates that overeating, rather than the obesity it causes, is the trigger for developing metabolic syndrome, a collection of heath risk factors that increases an individual's chances of developing insulin resistance, fatty liver, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. view more (2008-04-17)
Diabetes, obesity and hypertension increase mortality in hepatitis C patients
The specific impact of metabolic syndrome on mortality in hepatitis C patients has been revealed by new research to be presented on Sunday April 26 at EASL 2009, the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of the Liver in Copenhagen, Denmark. view more (2009-04-22)
HIV treatments improve health, but nutritional issues remain
Despite the success of highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART), people with HIV may still be at higher risk for nutritional deficiencies and abnormalities. view more (2006-12-26)
Pennsylvania researchers find liver transplants provide metabolic cure for rare genetic disease
Liver transplants cured the metabolic symptoms of 11 patients with a rare but devastating genetic condition known as Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD), according to a study by researchers from Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and the Clinic for Special Children. view more (2006-04-11)
High insulin levels impair intestinal metabolic function
Nutritional scientists at the University of Alberta are the first to establish a connection between high insulin levels and dysfunction of intestinal lipid metabolism in an animal model. view more (2007-04-25)
Type 2 Diabetes Linked To Prenatal Diabetic Environment?
A preliminary study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that offspring of mothers with type 1 diabetes could be at an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in adult life-even in the absence of inherited type 1 or type 2 diabetic disease. Type 2 diabetes generally occurs in adulthood and is caused by both genetic and environmental factors (such... view more... (2003-05-28)
PET accurately identifies esophageal cancer patients' positive responses to chemotherapy
Early metabolic imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) accurately identifies patients responding to chemotherapy for esophageal cancer, noted German researchers at the 54th Annual Meeting of SNM, the world's largest society for molecular imaging and nuclear medicine professionals. view more (2007-06-04)
Drinking 100 percent fruit juice is associated with lower risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome
If you enjoy a glass of 100% juice as part of your daily routine, chances are you also have fewer risk factors for several chronic diseases when compared to your non juice-drinking peers. view more (2009-04-22)
Love handles put the squeeze on lungs
There's more bad news for people who carry excess weight around their waists: Not only is abdominal obesity associated with diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and a host of other health problems collectively known as "metabolic syndrome," a new study has found that a high waist circumference is strongly associated with... view more...

'Fluorescent' cells give early warning for eye disease
Scientists at the University of Michigan have shown that their new metabolic imaging instrument can accurately detect eye disease at a very early stage. view more (2008-02-25)
SAGE's American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine looks at the health benefit of oats
The first issue of Volume 2 (January/February 2008) explores the results of the "Oats at 10 Years" study, marking the 10th anniversary of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration claim that oats, as part of an overall heart healthy diet, could lower the risk of heart disease. view more (2008-01-14)
A chunky metabolism
Many bacteria break their metabolic processes into chunks. That may be logically tidy, but it's often metabolically inefficient. Researchers have now figured out the factors that tend to make bacteria more modular. view more (2008-05-30)
Smoking and high blood pressure each account for 1 in 5 deaths in US adults
A comprehensive assessment of the risk factors for preventable deaths in the United States has found that smoking and high blood pressure are responsible for the greatest number of preventable deaths - each accounting for around 1 in 5 deaths in US adults. view more (2009-04-28)
Simulating human metabolism to find new diets to new drugs
Bioengineering researchers at UC San Diego have painstakingly assembled a virtual human metabolic network that will give researchers a new way to hunt for better treatments for hundreds of human metabolic disorders, from diabetes to high levels of cholesterol in the blood. view more (2007-01-30)
Leptin has powerful effect on reward center in the brain
Leptin, a hormone critical for normal food intake and metabolism, exerts a strong effect on appetite by acting in the mid-brain region as well as in the hypothalamus. view more (2006-09-29)
Bisphenol A linked to metabolic syndrome in human tissue
New research from the University of Cincinnati (UC) implicates the primary chemical used to produce hard plastics-bisphenol A (BPA)-as a risk factor for metabolic syndrome and its consequences. view more (2008-09-05)
