New research has found that men’s and women’s metabolisms favor eating different foods at breakfast time and could be key to developing personalized nutrition strategies that help to address health issues or lose weight.Continue ReadingCategory: Wellne… Continue reading For weight loss, men and women need different foods for breakfast
Our health is guided not only by our genetic blueprint but also by our lifestyle choices and environmental exposures. The study of epigenetics involves looking at what particular markers regulate gene expression.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & W… Continue reading Identical twin study sheds light on how exercise tunes our genes
Researchers from Rutgers University have conducted a close investigation of the metabolic differences between night owls and early birds, finding those who prefer staying up late may be at greater risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.Continue Read… Continue reading Metabolic study finds night owls more susceptible to diabetes, heart disease
A new animal study has demonstrated one way sugar can contribute to metabolic diseases such as diabetes is by causing disruptions to the gut microbiome. The novel findings home in on exactly how certain gut bacteria can protect against the harmful effe… Continue reading New discovery reveals how sugar disrupts gut bacteria, leading to obesity
A new preclinical study has demonstrated how an experimental drug can treat type 2 diabetes by increasing the expression of a recently discovered protein found to influence insulin signaling in cells. Across several mouse studies, the research shows th… Continue reading Promising new drug target to treat diabetes and other metabolic diseases
A clinical trial testing fecal transplants in severely obese subjects with metabolic syndrome has found the treatment to be only beneficial when accompanied by non-fermentable fiber supplements. The phase 2 trial saw improvements in insulin sensitivity… Continue reading Fecal transplant plus fiber successfully treats metabolic syndrome
Obesity is one of the most pressing health problems in the world today, but a new study suggests a potential non-invasive treatment. In tests in mice, researchers found that directing ultrasound pulses to the liver helped reduce a number of markers ass… Continue reading Ultrasound pulses focused at liver help treat obesity in mouse models
For years, observational studies have linked short sleep patterns with obesity, and many scientists suspect it is the sleep irregularities causing metabolic dysfunction and appetite disruptions. New research from the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelm… Continue reading Worm study offers new insight into link between obesity and poor sleep
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
An impressive new study from scientists at the University of Utah has described how an impaired immune system can alter the composition of the gut microbiome resulting in metabolic disease and obesity. Demonstrated in mouse experiments, the r… Continue reading New research uncovers compelling link between gut bacteria, obesity and the immune system
