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)
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)
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)
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)
UCSD study clarifies insulin's role in blocking release of energy in patients with type II diabetes
Chronically high levels of insulin, as is found in many people with obesity and Type II diabetes, may block specific hormones that trigger energy release into the body. view more (2005-09-23)
Gene linked to rare disease activates fat breakdown
A gene earlier linked to a rare disease plays a critical role in the body's "finely tuned balance" of fat storage and break down, new evidence reported in the May Cell Metabolism reveals. view more (2006-05-10)
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)
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...

Sugars in liver found to clear fats from the bloodstream
Maybe you ate a big, juicy steak for dinner last night, adding a large amount of fat - scientifically known as triglycerides - to your system. For one in ten of us, that could be a big problem. view more (2007-01-03)
Researchers study multi-purpose drug
Researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center today announced that they have launched a study to determine whether an experimental drug, rimonabant, can slow atherosclerosis, the fatty build-up in arteries that creates heart attack risk. view more (2006-02-02)
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)
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)
Soy protein reduces effects of diabetes on liver
A group of researchers from Mexico has discovered that a diet rich in soy protein may alleviate fatty liver, a disease which often accompanies diabetes. view more (2005-09-07)
Study identifies glucose 'sensor' that plays dual role in glucose metabolism and fat synthesis
In the study, glucose is shown to stimulate the activity of the Liver X Receptors (LXR) a and b, The LXRs act as sensors of dietary components, orchestrating the body's response to nutrients such as oxysterols (short-lived derivatives of cholesterol) and controlling gene expression linked to cholesterol and fat metabolism. view more (2006-12-27)
Less sugary drinks during childhood may cut disease risk
Symptoms of heart disease and diabetes usually seen in adults are increasingly being found in adolescents according to a longitudinal study, which suggests that reducing the intake of sugar-sweetened beverages during childhood may lessen the risk of chronic disease in later life. view more (2006-12-19)
Acne medication associated with abnormal blood test results
Elevated cholesterol levels and liver enzyme levels appear to be more common than previously thought among patients taking the acne medication isoretinoin, including those who had normal blood test results before beginning therapy. view more (2006-08-22)
Insulin resistance in early teens may predict diabetes, heart disease for adults
The body's decreased response to insulin beginning as early as age 13 may mean increased cardiovascular disease risk by age 19, according to research reported in Hypertension: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2006-08-22)
Researchers find that screening children for heart disease risk helps to identify parents at risk
Screening children for risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease can help identify parents at risk for the condition, providing an opportunity for medical intervention in both children and their parents, according to research at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. view more (2006-12-06)
Rare mutation causes early heart disease and metabolic syndrome
Yale School of Medicine researchers have identified a rare defect in a single gene that poses a substantial risk for metabolic syndrome and early heart disease, the leading cause of death worldwide. view more (2007-03-02)
