New role for protein in fat cells may improve understanding of obesity and diabetes
Scientists have shown for the first time that a protein involved in the transfer of fat in the blood may also influence how fat cells store fat. view more (2007-07-20)
Heredity plays big role in heart disease risk factors
Heredity plays a major role in determining the blood lipid profile and heart rate variability of blacks and whites, two major risk factors for coronary artery disease, researchers say. view more (2005-10-17)
Researcher predicts paradigm shift in heart disease treatment
As the obesity epidemic grows in the United States, the medical community is faced with the significant challenge of properly treating patients before complications such as heart disease arise. view more (2006-04-28)
Limiting fructose may boost weight loss, researcher reports
One of the reasons people on low-carbohydrate diets may lose weight is that they reduce their intake of fructose, a type of sugar that can be made into body fat quickly, according to a researcher at UT Southwestern Medical Center. view more (2008-07-25)
Study locates cholesterol genes; finds surprises about good, bad cholesterol
An international study of 20,000 people found seven new genes that influence blood cholesterol levels, a major factor in heart disease, and confirmed 11 other genes previously thought to influence cholesterol. view more (2008-01-14)
Difference in fat storage may explain lower rate of liver disease in African-Americans
Where different ethnic groups store fat in their bodies may account for differences in the likelihood they'll develop insulin resistance and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2009-03-27)
Exercise can cut coronary artery disease risk for some with MS
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a degenerative disease affecting the central nervous system of 400,000 Americans with 200 more diagnosed each week. view more (2007-04-30)
Eating soy protein helps control cholesterol
Soy protein helps lower total cholesterol, low-density lipid "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides, and slightly raises high-density lipid "good" cholesterol. view more (2006-09-21)
UAB Research Finds Childbearing Increases Chance of Developing the Metabolic Syndrome
Childbearing is associated directly with future development of the metabolic syndrome - abdominal obesity, high triglycerides, insulin resistance and other cardiovascular disease risk factors - and for women who have had gestational diabetes, the risk is more than twice greater. view more (2009-09-23)
High cholesterol levels drop naturally in children on high-fat anti-seizure diet, Hopkins study show
Elevated cholesterol levels return to normal or near normal levels over time in four out of 10 children with uncontrollable epilepsy treated with the high-fat ketogenic diet, according to results of a Johns Hopkins Children's Center study reported in the Journal of Child Neurology. view more (2008-08-27)
Low-carb diet better than low-fat diet at improving metabolic syndrome
Diabetes and cardiovascular disease associated with it. In an article published today in the open access journal Nutrition & Metabolism, Jeff Volek and Richard Feinman review the literature and show that the features of metabolic syndrome are precisely those that are improved by reducing carbohydrates in the diet. view more (2005-11-16)
ACTOS (PIOGLITAZONE): NEW THERAPY FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES WITH NOVEL MODE OF ACTION LAUNCHED IN UK
“Type 2 diabetes is characterised by high blood sugar but also by lipid abnormalities, particularly raised triglycerides and low HDL (so-called good) cholesterol. This spectrum of metabolic imbalance related to insulin resistance together with raised blood pressure is the characteristic signature of most people with Type 2 diabetes. Any... view more...

Food additive may one day help control blood lipids and reduce disease risk
Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified a substance in the liver that helps process fat and glucose. That substance is a component of the common food additive lecithin, and researchers speculate it may one day be possible to use lecithin products to control blood lipids and reduce risk for diabetes,... view more...

Joslin-led study reveals new findings on insulin signaling in the liver
Insulin uses two distinct mechanisms to control glucose and the metabolism of blood fats (lipids) in the liver, a new Joslin Diabetes Center-led study has discovered. view more (2006-05-15)
Gladstone scientists reveal that fat synthesizing enzyme is key to healthy skin and hair
Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) have found that an enzyme associated with the synthesis of fat in the body is also an element in healthy skin and hair. view more (2009-02-13)
ESC Congress 2004: New study confirms benefits of rimonabant in weight loss, waistcircumference reduction and metabolic risk factor improvement

Health benefits of physical activity more pronounced in women
Many experimental studies have found that physical exercise can improve cholesterol levels and subsequently decrease the risks of cardiovascular disease; however, few of these studies have included enough participant diversity to provide ethnic breakdowns. view more (2009-07-30)
Diet and regular soft drinks linked to increase in risk factors for heart disease
Drinking more than one soft drink daily - whether it's regular or diet - may be associated with an increase in the risk factors for heart disease, Framingham researchers reported in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2007-07-24)
Gene variant boosts risk of fatty liver disease, scientists discover
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found that individuals who carry a specific form of the gene PNPLA3 have more fat in their livers and a greater risk of developing liver inflammation. view more (2008-09-26)
Mutant gene identified as villain in hardening of the arteries
A genetic mutation expands lesions in the aorta and promotes coronary atherosclerosis, more commonly known as hardening of the arteries, according to a study by Yale School of Medicine in Cell Metabolism. view more (2007-12-19)
