New research led by a team of scientists in Canada has demonstrated how a high-fat diet can disrupt levels of an intestinal immune cell known to help regulate microbial populations in the gut. The study describes how low levels of this molecu… Continue reading Study finds key gut immune molecule links obesity, the microbiome, and metabolic disorders
A new slow-release hormone treatment is being touted as an alternative to gastric bypass surgery in obese patients suffering from type 2 diabetes. The novel therapy delivers three appetite-regulating hormones via a subcutaneous pump, resultin… Continue reading Slow-release hormone therapy offers new weight-loss option for obese diabetics
A new study suggests simple vibration therapy can beneficially alter the gut microbiome, and reduce diabetes-related inflammation. The research at this point has only been verified in mouse models, and prior human vibration therapy studies in… Continue reading Mouse study suggests vibration therapy can reduce inflammation and improve the microbiome
Commonly known as Paneer dodi, the herb Withania coagulans has been used in traditional Indian medicine for many years now – among other things, it is claimed to help control diabetes. A new study shows that it indeed may do so, particularly … Continue reading Medicinal herb receives a diabetes-fighting boost
A large and comprehensive meta-analysis led by scientists from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health is offering the most convincing evidence to date that a plant-based diet can significantly lower a person’s risk of developing type 2… Continue reading Harvard study finds not all vegetarian diets are equal in preventing type 2 diabetes
In an interesting look at evolution in action, a research team led by University College London has discovered around 50 percent of people carry a gene mutation that helps lower blood sugar levels. It is suggested humans evolved this mutation… Continue reading Scientists discover gene mutation evolved in humans to help with high-sugar diets
A new study, led by researchers from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, has described the discovery of a new kind of immune cell that is hypothesized to play a fundamental role in the development of type 1 diabetes, and could be… Continue reading Newly discovered “rogue hybrid” immune cell the potential trigger for type 1 diabetes
No matter what the latest fad diet tells us to do, we already know the general gist of how to stay healthy – eating too much sugar and fat leads to weight gain and metabolic diseases. But what if you could stay healthier without changing your diet? In mouse tests conducted at Max Planck, researchers have now found a way to alter the fat metabolism in the liver, reducing the chances of diabetes without changing a high-fat diet.
