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
Chronically high levels of insulin, as is found in many people with obesity and Type II diabetes, may block specific hormones that trigger energy release into the body.   view more (2005-09-23)

A step forward in stem cell research
According to research published today, investigators from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) have used new techniques in the laboratory that allowed them for the first time to derive unlimited numbers of purified mesenchymal precursor cells from human embryonic stem cells (HESCs).   view more (2005-06-27)

Research Reveals Exercise Before Fatty Christmas Meal Helps Curb Bad Effects
Research by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) and the University of Glasgow suggests a long walk before your fatty Christmas dinner could help reduce the damage done by the inevitable festive over-indulgence.   view more (2004-12-16)

Meals high in saturated fat impair 'good' cholesterol's ability to protect against clogged arteries
Before you bite into that burger or devour that doughnut, first chew on this: New research shows that just one meal high in saturated fat can affect the body's ability to protect itself against some of the underlying causes of heart disease and stroke.   view more (2006-08-08)

Researchers isolate new risk marker for overweight children
A study of 40 overweight children in Edmonton has revealed they all share something in common aside from being heavy: each one of them has high levels of apoB48, a structural protein found in intestinal cholesterol.   view more (2007-06-25)

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)

Battle of the bulge: Low leptin levels undermine successful weight loss
Individuals who are obese are at increased risk of many diseases, including type 2 diabetes and heart disease. As 75%-95% of previously obese individuals regain their lost weight, many researchers are interested in developing treatments to help individuals maintain their weight loss.   view more (2008-06-23)

Duke Innovations Improve Accuracy Of MRI As Internal "Thermometer"
Duke University chemists say they have developed a new way to measure temperature changes inside the body with unprecedented precision by correcting a subtle error in the original theory underlying Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).   view more (2008-10-17)

NIA uses Genomatix in stem cell research, suggests novel transcription factors for stemness
Genomatix Software with businesses in Munich, Germany and Ann Arbor, Michigan released today that the group of Kenneth R. Boheler at the National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health, Baltimore, Md published some remarkable work on embryonic stem (ES) cells.   view more (2008-03-04)

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)

New discovery could reduce the health risk of high-fat foods
Just as additives help gasoline burn cleaner, a research report published in the January 2008 print issue of The FASEB Journal shows that the food industry could take a similar approach toward reducing health risks associated with fatty foods.   view more (2008-01-02)

LIPODYSTROPHY RISK FROM HIV-1 THERAPY (p 592)
The risk of lipodystrophy (abnormal fat distribution) in HIV-1 individuals undergoing antiretroviral therapy cannot be attributed to one antiretroviral agent, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Lipodystrophy among HIV-1-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy... view more (2001-02-21)

Land tenure conflict in Kenya turning into strong inter-ethnic territorial claims
