Recommendations for children's exercise lacking say experts
Researchers from the Peninsula Medical School in Plymouth, UK, have carried out research that suggests the one hour of moderate exercise a day recommended to children from health experts may not be enough to tackle the rising problem of childhood obesity. view more (2008-10-13)
Scientists discover why a mother's high-fat diet contributes to obesity in her children
New research published online in The FASEB Journal suggests that pregnant women should think twice about high-fat foods. view more (2008-10-01)
Pitt study finds molecular link between insulin resistance and inflammation
An exploration of the molecular links between insulin resistance and inflammation may have revealed a novel target for diabetes treatment, say scientists at the John G. Rangos Sr. Research Center, Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. view more (2009-08-27)
Human hormone blocker found to help prevent obesity and diabetes: study
A new study finds that a chemical found in the body is capable of promoting weight loss, improving insulin resistance and reversing diabetes in an animal model. The hormone is gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) receptor blockade. view more (2008-01-04)
Obesity may be linked to middle ear effusions in children
Childhood obesity may be associated with a condition known as otitis media with effusion, which consists of fluid build-up in the middle ear space without symptoms of acute ear infection, according to a report in the April issue of Archives of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2007-04-17)
Metabolic syndrome heightens risk for development of uric-acid kidney stones
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found that patients suffering from the metabolic syndrome - a cluster of conditions that increases the risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes - also have a propensity to develop highly acidic urine, which increases the risk of developing kidney stones. view more (2007-09-13)
Resolvins have the potential to resolve periodontal inflammation and restore tissue health
Periodontal (gum) disease is a chronic inflammation initiated by bacteria that affect the gums and bone supporting the teeth, and may eventually result in tissue and tooth loss. view more (2009-04-06)
Genetic analysis helps dissect molecular basis of cardiovascular disease
Using highly precise measurements of plasma lipoprotein concentrations determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), researchers led by Daniel Chasman at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA, the Framingham Heart Study in Framingham, and the PROCARDIS consortium in Stockholm, Sweden and Oxford,... view more...

Metabolic syndrome linked to liver disease in obese teenaged boys
Researchers studying a large sample of adolescent American boys have found an association between metabolic syndrome, which is a complication of obesity, and elevated liver enzymes that mark potentially serious liver disease. view more (2009-09-30)
New 4-year Study To Examine Effects Of Reducing Insulin Resistance On Cardiovascular Risk
Takeda UK Ltd (Takeda) today confirmed that 60 UK centres will participate in the PROspective pioglitAzone Clinical Trial In macroVascular Events (PROactive). PROactive will enroll 5,000 patients in 10 European countries and will last four years. Of the 5,000 patients who will be enrolled it is anticipated that 800 will be from the UK. The trial... view more... (2001-08-29)
Pictures hardly subject to leaching during cleaning
If picture restorers are careful when using solvents, very few organic molecules are likely to be leached away from the paint layer. Serious leaching does however occur when paint samples are immersed in solvents. These are some of the results of a study carried out at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC as part of NWO’s Molart... view more... (2001-05-30)
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)
OBESITY DRUG COULD SUSTAIN WEIGHT LOSS (p 2119)
Results of a clinical trial published in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the drug sibutramine is effective in sustaining weight loss in obese patients. However, questions remain about the drug's long-term safety. Sibutramine is a tertiary amine, originally developed as a potential antidepressant. It has been shown to induce... view more...

The cardiovascular benefits of daily exercise in school children are evident even after 1 year
School children as young as 11 can benefit from a daily exercise programme in reducing their levels of several known risk factors for cardiovascular disease. An ongoing study, which began four years ago in the German city of Leipzig, shows already that children assigned to daily exercise lessons reduced their overall prevalence of obesity,... view more...

Red grapefruit appears to lower cholesterol, fight heart disease
In a controlled study group of patients with heart disease, the scientists found that feeding some patients the equivalent of one grapefruit daily significantly reduced levels of cholesterol in comparison to patients that did not eat grapefruit. view more (2006-02-09)
Daily diet of grapefruit minimizes risk factor for heart disease
Heart disease patients who eat one grapefruit daily can significantly reduce the levels of cholesterol in their blood in comparison to patients who do not eat the fruit, a new study has found. Chronic high blood cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease. view more (2006-02-16)
New research suggests common anti-seizure medications may increase risk of cardiovascular problems
An important clinical repercussion in the treatment of epilepsy has been discovered by a research team led by Scott Mintzer, M.D., assistant professor in the Department of Neurology and the Jefferson Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University. view more (2009-03-18)
Research into soy will continue but soy is not a solution for heart disease
Many soy food products carry health claims stating that they reduce the risk of heart disease. A review of the evidence, however, suggests that soy's cardiovascular benefits may have been overestimated by the early studies that formed the basis for its health claim. view more (2006-02-07)
The Metabolic Syndrome - Are You Aware Of The Risk?
It has been estimated that the prevalence of adult obesity across the EU ranges from 10-25% and may be as high as 30%. Many more people are overweight, and the prevalence continues to rise. This worrying trend, sometimes referred to as an 'epidemic', is now well recognized, but the extent to which obesity adversely affects health doesn't make the... view more... (2005-05-20)
