Controlling Blood Sugar in Hospitalized Patients Saves Lives
If you are not diabetic and you are hospitalized, your blood sugar level is probably the last thing on your mind. But the fact is that high blood sugar during hospitalization for serious illness increases your risk of infection and death. view more (2006-04-05)
Clock molecule's sensitivity to lithium sheds light on bipolar disorder
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine discovered that a key receptor protein is a critical component of the internal molecular clock in mammals. What's more, this molecule -called Rev-erb- is sensitive to lithium and may help shed light on circadian rhythm disorders, including bipolar disorder. view more (2006-02-17)
Exercise important in reducing size of abdominal fat cells
Reducing the size of abdominal fat cells - which are a risk factor for diabetes and heart disease - takes more than cutting calories, according to new research from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. view more (2006-08-08)
Work stress leads to heart disease and diabetes
Stress at work is an important risk factor for the development of heart disease and diabetes, finds a study published online by the BMJ today. view more (2006-01-20)
Gene makes muscles in the obese store more fat
The gene encoding an enzyme that hinders muscle from burning fat manufactures three times more enzyme in the muscle of obese people than lean people. view more (2005-10-12)
Brain plays key role in diabetes therapy
The brain plays a major role in the ability of insulin therapy to lower blood sugar in animals with diabetes. view more (2006-01-11)
Scientists directly view immune cells interacting to avert autoimmunity
Using a new form of microscopy to penetrate living lymph nodes, UCSF scientists have for the first time viewed immune cells at work, helping clarify how T cells control autoimmunity. view more (2005-12-05)
Shock wave therapy for kidney stones linked to increased risk of diabetes, hypertension
Mayo Clinic researchers are sounding an alert about side effects of shock wave lithotripsy: in a research study, they found this common treatment for kidney stones to significantly increase the risk for diabetes and hypertension later in life. view more (2006-04-10)
Scientists Exploring Inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis Make Unexpected Discovery That One Day May Lead to New Treatments
What makes joints in people with rheumatoid arthritis, and related conditions like Lyme disease or lupus, so susceptible to attack by the body's immune system, leading to painful flare-ups and deterioration? The answer may surprise you. view more (2006-02-16)
Magic Beans — Anti-obesity soya could help prevent diabetes
A diet rich in black soya beans could help control weight, lower fat and cholesterol levels, and aid in the prevention of diabetes, reports Lisa Richards in Chemistry & Industry, the magazine of the SCI. view more (2007-02-26)
New research links metabolism and appetite suppression, opening door to obesity treatments
A team led by a Canadian researcher has discovered a process by which a small protein acts directly within muscles to increase the body's metabolism to burn fat while simultaneously suppressing appetite. view more (2006-04-14)
Key regulator of blood glucose levels discovered
In many patients with type 2 diabetes, the liver acts like a sugar factory on overtime, churning out glucose throughout the day, even when blood glucose levels are high. view more (2005-09-08)
Gaining weight between pregnancies could lead to pregnancy complications
A number of studies over the years have found an association between obesity and pregnancy complications, including pre-eclampsia (hypertension), gestational diabetes and stillbirth, but there was little evidence of a direct, cause-and-effect relationship. view more (2006-09-29)
eating disorders more common among girls with diabetes
Eating disorders are almost twice as common in girls with type 1 diabetes as in non-diabetic girls of the same age, putting them at increased risk of complications, according to a study in this week?s BMJ. Canadian researchers surveyed over 1,400 young women aged between 12 and 19 years about their attitudes towards eating. Those with diabetes... view more... (2000-06-06)
Study to test drug's potential to preserve insulin production in newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetics
A drug used to treat lymphoma, rheumatoid arthritis and other immune disorders may enable newly-diagnosed type 1 diabetics to save some of their pancreas function and thereby reduce their susceptibility to long-term complications. view more (2006-03-16)
Researchers identify gene associated with severe kidney failure in diabetes
A research team at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and the University of Heidelberg has proven that a gene protects some people with diabetes from developing severe kidney failure or "end-stage renal disease." view more (2007-01-10)
Obesity is a significant predictor of periodontal disease
Researchers from University at Buffalo found that obesity is a significant predictor for periodontal disease, independent of age, gender, race, ethnicity, and smoking. view more (2006-02-21)

Researchers have found that obesity can put patients with acute liver failure at increased risk of mortality and other major complications. view more (2006-05-25)
Low birth weight of a baby entails risks for the baby's father
Parents whose children are born with a low birth weight run greater risk of dying of cardiovascular diseases. Even the fathers are at greater risk. These findings are published in a new report by Karolinska Institutet. The report shows that genetic factors affect both birth weight and the risk of cardiovascular diseases. view more (2005-06-29)
Weight control protein may yield antiobesity drugs
A weight control protein with a key role in the brain's ability to monitor body fat content may yield new approaches for treating obesity and type 2 diabetes, according to a new report in the August issue of Cell Metabolism. view more (2005-08-17)
