New potential drug target for the treatment of atherosclerosis
A nuclear receptor protein, known for controlling the ability of cells to burn fat, also exerts powerful anti-inflammatory effects in arteries, suppressing atherosclerosis in mice prone to developing the harmful plaques, according to new research by scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological... view more (2008-03-05)

Eating eggs may protect against breast cancer
Women who used to eat more eggs during their high school years may be less likely to develop breast cancer. New research from Harvard, published in Breast Cancer Research, found that higher levels of egg consumption during adolescence are associated with a decreased risk of breast cancer. Eating... view more (2003-02-21)

Mayo Clinic Proceedings article explores possible link between obesity and viral infections
Experts don't dispute the important role that diet and activity play in maintaining a healthy weight. But can poor eating habits and a less active lifestyle fully explain the prevalence of obesity in the United States today?   view more (2007-10-24)

Weight control protein may yield antiobesity drugs
A weight control protein with a key role in the brain's ability to monitor body fat content may yield new approaches for treating obesity and type 2 diabetes, according to a new report in the August issue of Cell Metabolism.   view more (2005-08-17)

Mediterranean diet significantly lessens symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis
A Mediterranean diet significantly lessens the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, shows a small Swedish study in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. But it takes a minimum of six weeks for the diet to take effect, the study shows. The researchers were only able to study 51 people out of a possible... view more (2003-02-18)

Pine nut oil boosts appetite suppressors up to 60 percent for 4 hours
In the face of the growing obesity health challenge, "appetite suppressants are increasingly interesting because they work on the very simple premise of 'What you don't eat now, you won't need to lose later,'" Alexandra Einerhand, director, nutrition and toxicology-Europe at Lipid... view more (2006-04-04)

Protein's role in lipid absorption may be important to future weight-loss strategies
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that a protein absorbs lipids in the upper part of the intestine, and they believe its key role in this process may provide a novel approach for obesity treatment in the future.   view more (2007-07-09)

Most with high blood pressure do not follow recommended diet
A relatively small proportion of individuals with hypertension (high blood pressure) eat diets that align with government guidelines for controlling the disease, according to a report in the February 11 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.   view more (2008-02-12)

Obesity Crisis in Insects? Not a Problem, Says Expert

Early onset of poor bone mineralization revealed in children with cystic fibrosis
In a study of children with cystic fibrosis, French researchers found evidence of very early onset defective bone mineralization in the lumbar spine that was not caused by either nutritional status or lung disease.   view more (2007-05-01)

Major link in brain-obesity puzzle found
A single protein in brain cells may act as a linchpin in the body's weight-regulating system, playing a key role in the flurry of signals that govern fat storage, sugar use, energy balance and weight.   view more (2007-01-29)

UCSD study clarifies insulin's role in blocking release of energy in patients with type II diabetes
