Two tests better than one for diabetes control, Johns Hopkins expert tells doctors
In a strongly worded review published in the recent edition of The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the head of the Johns Hopkins Diabetes Center urges physicians and patients to better use the blood-testing tools at hand to manage the disease and prevent most of its dire impact on the heart, kidneys, nerves and vision. view more (2006-04-14)
Parasite lipids against asthma or diabetes
Dutch research has demonstrated that lipids from the parasite schistosoma can inhibit human immune responses. This property makes the lipids interesting for a possible new treatment of diseases such as asthma and diabetes where the immune system responds inappropriately. During her doctoral research, Desiree van der Kleij discovered that lipids... view more... (2003-11-11)
