Study could help target new pancreatitis treatments
Pancreatitis is often a fatal condition, in which the pancreas digests itself and surrounding tissue. view more (2009-06-30)
Mechanism for the in-vivo transport of siRNA
It all started with flowers: in the nineties of the last century Norwegian researchers discovered that additional copies of a particular gene in petunias inhibited its activity instead of reinforcing it as had been assumed. view more (2007-09-18)
High Mercury Count In Fish Linked To Heart Attack
People who eat fish with a raised mercury content run a greater risk of coronary heart disease than previously thought, an international team of researchers has found. Scientists from Edinburgh, Baltimore and seven other European countries say that mercury, which is found in certain fish from environmentally contaminated areas, may counteract the... view more...

Fish food fight: Fish don't eat trees after all, says new study
What constitutes fish food is a matter of debate. A high-profile study a few years ago suggested that fish get almost 50 percent of their carbon from trees and leaves, evidence for a very close link between the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. view more (2009-11-24)
Start-up Project: LIPGENE - Tackling metabolic syndrome
Obesity has now become a global epidemic bringing, in its wake, a cluster of metabolic symptoms and cardiovascular disease risk factors. view more (2004-04-01)
Second-hand smoking results in liver disease, study finds
A team of scientists at the University of California, Riverside has found that even second-hand tobacco smoke exposure can result in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a common disease and rising cause of chronic liver injury in which fat accumulates in the liver of people who drink little or no alcohol. view more (2009-09-11)
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)
Higher level of certain fatty acid associated with lower dementia risk
Individuals who have higher levels of a fatty acid known as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in their blood may have a significantly lower risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-11-14)
Fish oils may hold key to cutting deaths from heart disease
Heart patients are being asked to eat more fish as part of a University of Edinburgh study in a study to see if improved diet can reduce the risk of coronary attacks. The study will look at the way fish and fish oil supplements could help reduce inflammation of the arteries and break down the blood clots which cause heart disease. The new study... view more...

Could Healthy Eating Cause Stress?
The health benefits of antioxidants in foods including red wine, vitamin E and even tea have been widely researched over the last twenty years, fuelled by evidence that oxidative damage may be implicated in many diseases. On Monday 12 April, 17.30, Dr Edwin N. Frankel, University of California, will explore 'Antioxidants: past,... view more... (2002-04-12)
Lots of low-fat food is better than small portions of high-fat food
Dutch research has shown that a diet of low-fat products is better than smaller portions of normal high-fat food for preventing diabetes in obese people. Mice put on a low-fat diet were more sensitive to insulin than mice that received the same amount of energy in the form of high-fat food. Martin Muurling put obese mice on different diets in... view more... (2004-02-05)
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)
How much omega-3 fatty acid do we need to prevent cardiovascular disease?
A team of French scientists have found the dose of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) that is "just right" for preventing cardiovascular disease in healthy men. view more (2009-08-31)
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)
Space technology disposes of sludge
Research funded by the European Space Agency into ways of feeding future astronauts on missions to Mars is about to find a very down-to-earth application - how to dispose of the sewage sludge left over after wastewater treatment. The MELISSA (Micro-Ecological Life Support Alternative) project, which ESA is funding in companies and research... view more... (2002-05-15)
Reducing intake of dietary fat prevents prostate cancer in mice
Scientists with UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center and the Department of Urology have showed that lowering intake of the type of fat common in a Western diet helps prevent prostate cancer in mice, the first finding of its kind in a mouse model that closely mimics human cancer, researchers said. view more (2008-05-15)
Fatty foods -- not empty stomach -- fire up hunger hormone
New research led by the University of Cincinnati (UC) suggests that the hunger hormone ghrelin is activated by fats from the foods we eat-not those made in the body-in order to optimize nutrient metabolism and promote the storage of body fat. view more (2009-06-08)
A common denominator of inflammations and fatty liver
Many cancer patients lose a lot of weight during their disease: Fat and muscle mass are reduced, free fatty acids accumulate in the liver, and this eventually leads to fatty liver in affected patients. view more (2008-05-28)
High blood pressure induces low fat metabolism in heart muscle
Under some conditions this energy-hungry organ is prone to defects in its energy metabolism that contribute to heart disease. view more (2006-08-07)
