Joslin study reveals how a specific fat type can protect against weight gain and diabetes
A new study from Joslin Diabetes Center may shed light on why some people can eat excessive amounts of food and not gain weight or develop type 2 diabetes, while others are more likely to develop obesity and this most common form of diabetes on any diet.   view more (2007-03-02)

Nanoballs deliver drugs
Dutch researcher Cristianne Rijcken has developed a new type of biodegradable nanoparticle. The spherical structures can encapsulate various fat-soluble medicines, which makes it easier to target tumour tissue.   view more (2007-10-25)

Cortisol and fatty liver: Researchers find cause of severe metabolic disorders
A healthy body stores fat in the form of so-called triglycerides in specialized fatty tissue as an energy reserve. Under certain conditions the delicate balance of the lipid metabolism gets out of control and fat is accumulated in the liver, leading to the dreaded fatty liver.   view more (2008-09-10)

Unfavourable blood fat levels predict rheumatoid arthritis up to 10 years later
An unfavourable ratio of blood fats could herald the development of the inflammatory joint disease rheumatoid arthritis up to 10 years later, suggests research published ahead of print in the Annals of Rheumatic Diseases.   view more (2006-06-05)

Clotted fat in the blood can be separated with ultrasound
An entirely new method for purifying blood has been developed at the Lund Institute of Technology, LTH, in Sweden. The blood is led out in hair-thin channels and is processed with ultrasound. A company in the neighboring research village IDEON is now perfecting the first medical application: a... view more (2002-09-23)

Eating more often can reduce cholesterol levels
Eating frequently is associated with lower blood cholesterol concentrations, finds a study in this week's BMJ, suggesting that we need to consider not just what we eat but how often we eat.   view more (2001-11-28)

Children who cannot eat on their own because of intestinal failure must rely on parenteral nutrition (PN), an intravenous method of feeding.   view more (2006-07-05)

Modest gain in visceral fat causes dysfunction of blood vessel lining in lean, healthy humans
When lean healthy young adults gained about 9 pounds, the functioning of their blood vessel lining became impaired -- but shedding the weight restored proper functioning, according to a Mayo Clinic research report.   view more (2007-11-06)

'Skinny gene' does exist, UT Southwestern researchers find
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found that a single gene might control whether or not individuals tend to pile on fat, a discovery that may point to new ways to fight obesity and diabetes.   view more (2007-09-05)

University of Alberta researchers report breakthrough in lowering bad cholesterol, fatty acid levels
U of A medical researchers have found a way to reduce the amount of bad cholesterol and fatty acids that end up in the blood from food the body metabolizes, a key discovery that could lead to new drugs to treat and reverse the effects of Type 2 diabetes and heart disease related to obesity.   view more (2008-01-10)

Low-glycemic index diet promotes weight loss, cardiovascular risk reduction
A diet high in carbohydrates but low on the glycemic index, which measures the impact of carbohydrates on blood sugar levels, may help promote weight loss, decrease body fat and reduce cardiovascular disease risk.   view more (2006-07-25)

First link found between obesity, inflammation and vascular disease
Researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston have found that human fat cells produce a protein that is linked to both inflammation and an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.   view more (2005-09-19)

Kids at risk: Assessing diet and exercise behaviors in adolescents
Do adolescents get enough exercise and eat the right foods? Is there too much fat in their diets? In a study published in the February 2007 issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, researchers analyzed the behavior of almost 900 11-to-15 year-olds and found that nearly 80% had multiple... view more (2007-01-29)

Burgers, fries, diet soda: Metabolic syndrome blue-plate special
Otherwise-healthy adults who eat two or more servings of meat a day - the equivalent of two burger patties - increase their risk of developing metabolic syndrome by 25 percent compared with those who eat meat twice a week, according to research published in Circulation: Journal of the American... view more (2008-01-23)

Growing markets bring potential for rubber and oilseed crops
Changing and growing markets have renewed interest and research on guayule and lesquerella, two native Big Bend plants that might be grown in other parts of Texas, a Texas AgriLife Research scientist said.   view more (2008-02-04)

The Malignancy of Cerebral Tumours could be detected by means of Magnetic Resonance
Magnetic resonance is increasingly being used for the detection of cerebral tumours. Nevertheless, while the technique detects the existence of the tumour it does not enable us to tell whether in the case of malignant tumours the tumour cells are actively proliferating or not. A research team at... view more (1999-06-04)

Alaska seal pup diet may hold key to decline of population
Female harbor seal pups whose blubber falls below average levels may be at higher risk of delayed sexual maturation or death, even if they get enough fat in their diets later on.   view more (2006-04-04)

Chewing up a key regulator of fat synthesis keeps mice lean despite a high-fat diet
Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have identified a novel pathway that regulates the body's ability to store or burn fat, a discovery that suggests new ways to reduce obesity, diabetes and other fat-related human diseases.   view more (2006-06-23)

Obesity And Environmental Chemicals: Research Probes Potential Link
A team of researchers at UNH is investigating whether the increasing ubiquity of chemical flame retardants found in foam furniture, carpeting, microwaves and computers might be related to the climbing rate of obesity in the United States.   view more (2007-03-08)

The role of fat as a signal substance
Fat is not only a much-discussed food substance. Fat can also function as a signal substance in the body and activate a special receptor in the cells of important organs like the heart and liver.
