Not all fat is created equal
A Temple University study finds fat in obese patients is "sick" when compared to fat in lean patients. view more (2008-08-28)
Despite overeating, morbidly obese mice gain protection against diabetes
The "world's fattest mice" can overeat without developing insulin resistance or diabetes thanks to a glut of a key hormone, a dichotomy that helps explain why not all obese people are diabetic, a UT Southwestern Medical Center researcher has found. view more (2007-08-24)
Insulin's brain impact links drugs and diabetes
Insulin, long known as an important regulator of blood glucose levels, now has a newly appreciated role in the brain. view more (2007-10-17)
Joslin study indicates insulin receptors play a critical role in promoting islet growth
A new Joslin-led study has identified the insulin receptor as an important protein that promotes islet cell growth in mice whose bodies are unable to use insulin properly, or are insulin resistant, a precursor to type 2 diabetes. view more (2007-04-03)
Reducing inflammation plays key role in type 1 diabetes therapy
Researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have found that a triple combination therapy consisting of both tolerance-inducing and anti-inflammatory properties is successful in abolishing adverse autoimmunity against insulin-producing cells in a mouse model of Type 1 diabetes. view more (2007-08-01)
UVa Health System Team Uncovers Gene's Role in Type 1 Diabetes
Researchers at the University of Virginia Health System have identified an enzyme thought to be an important instigator of the inner-body conflict that causes Type 1 diabetes. view more (2007-11-08)
'Knocking Out' Cell Receptor May Help Block Fat Deposits in Tissues, Prevent Weight Gain
University of Cincinnati (UC) pathologists have identified a new molecular target that one day may help scientists develop drugs to reduce fat transport to adipocytes (fat cells) in the body and prevent obesity and related disorders, like diabetes. view more (2007-10-26)
Environmental stress probed in cardiovascular disease, diabetes
How environmental stress contributes to cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes is under study at the Medical College of Georgia. view more (2007-09-06)
Cross-species transplant in rhesus macaques is step toward diabetes cure for humans
With an eye on curing diabetes, scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have successfully transplanted embryonic pig pancreatic cells destined to produce insulin into diabetic macaque monkeys - all without the need for risky immune suppression drugs that prevent rejection. view more (2007-10-19)
Joslin discovers signs of residual islet cell function in people with long-term type 1 diabetes
Scientists at Joslin Diabetes Center have discovered that a surprisingly high percentage of people with type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent) who have had the disease for 50 years or longer (The Joslin Medalists) may still have residual functioning, insulin-producing islet cells and/or islet cell antibodies. view more (2006-06-13)
Increased Prevalence Of Diabetes - Not All Bad News (pp 503, 537)
Research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET illustrates how a steady increase in the prevalence of diabetes in a Danish population has not been accompanied by an increase in incidence (new cases) of the disease, as deaths from diabetes have actually fallen over the past decade. The prevalence of diabetes has increased worldwide. Henrik... view more... (2003-08-13)
Risk factors in contracting cancer of the endometrium
The risk of having endometrial cancer increases with obesity, thyroid alterations, hypercholesterolemia and mellitus diabetes. The probabilities of contracting this disease are also increased in those women who have a family history of this type of cancer and also with the consumption of animal fat, visceras and smoked fish. This is what Pamplona... view more... (2005-05-25)
How insulin-producing cells develop -- new finding could help fight against diabetes
A key aspect of how embryos create the cells which secrete insulin is revealed in a new study published tomorrow (18 May) in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. view more (2007-05-18)
Fat cells send message that aids insulin secretion
The body's fat cells help the pancreas do its job of secreting insulin, according to research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2007-11-07)
Gender, coupled with diabetes, affects vascular disease development
Diabetes is associated with the development of vascular (blood vessel) disease. As we age, vascular disease becomes more common. view more (2007-08-16)
A healthy color
About 80 percent of adults suffer from some form of periodontal, or gum disease, which can result in not just tooth loss, but has also been linked to heart disease, diabetes, blood infection, low birth-weight babies, cancer and most recently, obesity. view more (2009-04-13)
Researchers identify a role for glucose-sensing neurons in type 2 diabetes
In cases of Type 2 diabetes, the body's cells fail to appropriately regulate blood glucose levels. Research has suggested that this results from two simultaneous problems: the improper functioning of pancreatic beta cells and the impairment of insulin's actions on target tissues, including the liver, fat and muscles. view more (2007-08-30)
Intensive blood sugar treatment in trial of diabetes and cardiovascular disease changed
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health has stopped one treatment within a large, ongoing North American clinical trial of diabetes and cardiovascular disease 18 months early due to safety concerns after review of available data, although the study will continue. view more (2008-02-07)
Skin cancer diagnosis technique could also help prevent blindness
A new technique to aid early detection of skin cancer could also help fight serious eye diseases such as those caused by diabetes. The technique has been developed at the University of Birmingham with funding from the Swindon-based Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. It involves using an innovative form of image analysis to tell... view more... (2002-11-26)
Cocoa could be a healthy treat for diabetic patients
For people with diabetes, sipping a mug of steaming, flavorful cocoa may seem a guilty pleasure. But new research suggests that indulging a craving for cocoa can actually help blood vessels to function better and might soon be considered part of a healthy diet for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. view more (2008-05-27)
