Expectant moms, babies subjects of new Singapore study to prevent obesity and diabetes in adults
Three Singapore biomedical institutions have launched a major, long-term study of pregnant mothers and their fetuses as well as infant children to determine just how profoundly environmental factors early in life influence the onset of diseases such as obesity and diabetes in later years. view more (2009-11-10)
Cancer metabolism discovery uncovers new role of IDH1 gene mutation in brain cancer
Agios Pharmaceuticals today announced that its scientists have established, for the first time, that the mutated IDH1 gene has a novel enzyme activity consistent with a cancer-causing gene, or oncogene. view more (2009-11-23)
The 21st century tomato
When tomatoes ripen in our gardens, we watch them turn gradually from hard, green globules to brightly colored, aromatic, and tasty fruits. view more (2008-06-30)
The food-energy cellular connection revealed
Our body's activity levels fall and rise to the beat of our internal drums-the 24-hour cycles that govern fundamental physiological functions, from sleeping and feeding patterns to the energy available to our cells. view more (2009-10-16)
If the diabetes has a direct carcinogenetic effect?
The association of DM2 with solid tumors, and particularly with HCC, has been long suspected and several studies have reported increased mortality rates for neoplastic diseases in patients with DM2. view more (2008-10-29)
Study of Whitehall civil servants explains how stress at work is linked to heart disease
New research has produced strong evidence of how work stress is linked to the biological mechanisms involved in the onset of heart disease. view more (2008-01-23)
UF scientists find sugar may have a sour side
University of Florida researchers have identified one possible reason for rising obesity rates, and it all starts with fructose, found in fruit, honey, table sugar and other sweeteners, and in many processed foods. view more (2005-12-08)
Low vitamin D causes problems for acutely ill patients
A group of endocrinologists in Sydney have observed that very sick patients tend to have very low levels of Vitamin D. The sicker they are, the lower the levels. view more (2009-04-30)
Diverse tropical forests defy metabolic ecology models
As global change accelerates, quantifying the role of forests in the carbon cycle becomes ever more urgent. Modelers seek simple predictors of forest biomass and carbon flux. view more (2006-04-24)
Ethnic differences in response to HIV medicines
Researchers from the University of Massachusetts and the University of Pennsylvania have shown that race/ethnicity is a predictor of plasma lipids in patients with HIV-1 on HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy). view more (2006-01-24)
Why are lions not as big as elephants?
Carnivores are some of the widest ranging terrestrial mammals for their size, and this affects their energy intake and needs. view more (2007-01-16)
Alcohol Tolerance Switch Found in Fruit Flies
Researchers at North Carolina State University have found a genetic "switch" in fruit flies that plays an important role in making flies more tolerant to alcohol. view more (2009-10-22)
A single mechanism for hypertension, insulin resistance and immune suppression
Many of the 75 million Americans with essential hypertension also develop diabetes and other complications in addition to their high blood pressure, and researchers have discovered a common molecular mechanism in a strain of rat that explains why such metabolic disorders arise together in mammals. view more (2008-06-30)
In India: A search for more effective tuberculosis drugs
Rajesh Gokhale has created a compound in his lab in India that stops tuberculosis in its tracks. In a test tube, the molecule hits four of the bacterium's crucial metabolic pathways at the same time, weakening and ultimately destroying the pathogen. view more (2009-02-02)
Bug guts map brings scientists closer to understanding different bugs' role in the body
Scientists have made a major step towards understanding precisely which bugs in the gut are involved in which processes in the body, by mapping the different species of bugs living in seven members of the same Chinese family. view more (2008-02-06)
Researchers figure out how hearts fail
Researchers have determined how metabolic pathways differ between healthy and failing hearts. Normally, a heart derives its energy from a balance of fatty acids and carbohydrates, specifically glucose. view more (2005-07-25)
Procedure predicts embryos most likely to result in pregnancy
To address the high rate of multiple births resulting from in-vitro-fertilization (IVF), researchers at Yale School of Medicine and McGill University have developed a procedure that estimates the reproductive potential of individual embryos, possibly leading to a decrease in multiple-infant births and a higher success rate in women undergoing IVF. view more (2007-03-19)
Belly fat may drive inflammatory processes associated with disease
As scientists learn more about the key role of inflammation in diabetes, heart disease and other disorders, new research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that fat in the belly may be an important promoter of that inflammation. view more (2007-03-14)
'Pachinko chances' - New theory suggests that human metabolism works like a pachinko pinball machine and may explain adverse effects of drugs
Scientists from Imperial College London and AstraZeneca have advanced a new theory that animal and human metabolisms often work like a Japanese Pachinko type pinball machine. The researchers used the new science of metabonomics to look at global human metabolism, and how it might interact with certain drugs, the environment and the gut... view more... (2003-07-31)
Mosquito parasite may help fight dengue fever
Dengue fever is a terrible viral disease blighting many of the world's tropical regions. Carried by mosquitoes, such as Aedes aegypti, 40% of the world's population is believed to be at risk from the infection. view more (2009-05-01)
