Study shows the benefits of once-weekly prednisone in obese mice

Obese mice that were fed a high-fat diet and that received prednisone one time per week had improved exercise endurance, got stronger, increased their lean body mass and lost weight, reports a new Northwestern Medicine study published in The Journal of Experimental Medicine.

Higher avocado intake associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease in US adults

The current study looks at how avocado intake is related to the total CVD, CHD, and stroke risk, using data from two studies, namely, the NHS and the HPFS.

$Metabolic-immune interaction appears to be the cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction$

Metabolic-immune interaction appears to be the cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

The dominant form of heart failure worldwide appears to be caused by a strong, bidirectional interaction between the body's response to metabolic stress and the immune system, according to a review article written by UT Southwestern researchers and colleagues.

Quantum dots can quantify specific types of cells inside deep tissues of the body

To accurately diagnose and treat diseases, doctors and researchers need to see inside bodies. Medical imaging tools have come a long way since the humble x-ray, but most existing tools remain too coarse to quantify numbers or specific types of cells inside deep tissues of the body.

Hispanic/Latino youth with food insecurity have worse cardiometabolic profiles, study shows

Hispanic/Latino youths with limited access to nutritionally adequate food – and especially those whose parents were foreign-born -- had worse cardiometabolic profiles than their "food secure" counterparts, according to a study published in Pediatrics.

Brain scans show differences in gray matter density in young children with binge eating disorder

Brain scans of children ages 9-10 with a type of eating disorder that causes uncontrollable overeating showed differences in gray matter density compared to their unaffected peers, according to a USC-led study.

Weight loss does not provide fertility benefits, study finds

Women who are obese and struggling to become pregnant are often advised to lose weight, but a new study finds no fertility benefits from weight loss.

Exposure to room lighting during sleep can impair glucose and cardiovascular regulation

Close the blinds, draw the curtains and turn off all the lights before bed: Exposure to even moderate ambient lighting during nighttime sleep, compared to sleeping in a dimly lit room, harms your cardiovascular function during sleep and increases your insulin resistance the following morning, reports a new Northwestern Medicine study published in PNAS.

Regular nut consumption linked with lower prevalence of abdominal obesity, metabolic syndrome in seniors

Dr. Gloria Cubas Pharmacist and Dietician-Nutritionist, from the Department of Dietetics of the University Hospital Marqués de Valdecilla together with Dr. Pedro Muñoz from the Department of Primary Care Management Teaching of the Cantabrian Health Service (SCS), Dr. Carolina Teresa González Antón from the Unit of Nutrition and Dietetics of the multidisciplinary Centre NEXO (Almería), Dr. Sandra Sumalla, Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the European Atlantic University, Dr. Silvia Aparicio Vice-Rector of Academic Organisation and Dr. Iñaki Elío, Director of the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics of the European Atlantic University.

Research shows intergenerational effects of preconception opioids in male offspring rats

New research from scientists at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University suggests opioid use before pregnancy - even if not used during pregnancy itself - could result in a higher likelihood that a mother's male offspring will develop type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, conditions that increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

New class of compounds can improve multiple aspects of metabolic syndrome, mice study shows

A study in mice - led by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis - shows that a new class of compounds the scientists developed can improve multiple aspects of metabolic syndrome.

Sleep apnea during pregnancy linked to the development of hypertension and metabolic syndrome

In a new study published online in the American Thoracic Society's American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, researchers examined whether sleep disordered breathing (primarily obstructive sleep apnea) during pregnancy and in the years after delivery is associated with an increased risk for hypertension and metabolic syndrome.

Maternal metabolic syndrome can switch on imprinted gene associated with NAFLD in offspring

New research from North Carolina State University has found that an imprinted gene associated with development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is switched on in mice who nurse from mothers with metabolic syndrome, even when those mice are not biologically related.

Study reveals a direct correlation between fat browning and consumption of flavan 3-ols

In cold conditions, brown adipose tissue (BAT) or brown fat generates heat to keep the body warm. Compared with white adipose tissue, BAT has more mitochondria - subcellular organelles associated with energy production - which allows it to burn calories and produce heat by activating the mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp-1).

Regular physical activity lowers type 2 diabetes risk by changing the body's metabolite profile

Regular physical activity significantly changes the body's metabolite profile, and many of these changes are associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, a new study from the University of Eastern Finland shows.

Metabolic syndrome linked to worse hospitalization and mortality in COVID-19 patients

Patients with metabolic syndrome have significantly worse hospitalization and mortality rates due to COVID-19.

FAU researchers urge to prescribe aspirin based on benefit-to-risk not age

Recent guidelines have restricted aspirin use in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease to patients under 70, and more recent guidance to patients under 60. Yet, the risks of heart attacks and strokes increase markedly with age.

Long-term exposure to air pollution linked to metabolic-associated fatty liver disease

Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a growing global health challenge and poses a substantial economic burden. A large-scale epidemiologic study in China has identified links between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and MAFLD.

Widely used food additive alters the intestinal environment of healthy persons, research shows

New clinical research indicates that a widely used food additive, carboxymethylcellulose, alters the intestinal environment of healthy persons, perturbing levels of beneficial bacteria and nutrients.

Lifestyle habits play a key role in predicting the risk of metabolic syndrome in non-obese individuals

Researchers from Japan have found that lifestyle habits play an important role in predicting the risk of developing metabolic syndrome in non-obese individuals, not only obese individuals.
