Scientists studying the activity of a drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis have discovered it has some surprising functions, some of which may be useful when it comes to countering diabetes. The research, carried out on mouse models, shows how the c… Continue reading Arthritis drug boosts fat-signaling and counters diabetes in obese mice
Our deepening understanding of the different types of fat in the body continues to present new ways to potentially manipulate metabolic processes for better health outcomes, and new research on an existing asthma drug has opened up a promising new path… Continue reading Study of asthma drug uncovers metabolite that switches bad fat to good
A new study from scientists at MIT and Harvard University has delved into the complex relationship between nutrition, exercise and the human body, and turned up some fascinating insights. The research explores the cellular mechanics of high-fat diets a… Continue reading MIT and Harvard study unpacks the push and pull of diet and exercise
A common perception around meal timing and human health is that it’s best to steer clear of late-night dinners and midnight snacking, and a new study has offered some compelling insights into the reasons why. The study compared late-night eating to a r… Continue reading Late-night eating habits tied to slower calorie burn, increased appetite
The relationship between sugar and human health is a complex one, but new research has added some valuable new detail around the habitual consumption of the sweet stuff. The study suggests that drinking two or more servings of sugary drinks each day ca… Continue reading Two or more sodas a day linked to increased risk of death from cancer
As the research continues to build around fasting diets and time-restricted eating, we can expect to gain a clearer understanding of when might be the best times to eat and why. A study has shed interesting new light on this topic by examining the effe… Continue reading Big breakfast helps obese subjects suppress appetite in weight loss study
An incredible study published in Nature has reported the discovery of a novel gut-brain pathway that drives our appetite for fatty foods. The research found cells in our gut sense the presence of fat in food and can directly talk to parts of our brain … Continue reading Discovery reveals new gut-brain pathway driving fatty food cravings
An incredible new study led by a team from the Scripps Research Institute has discovered a novel communication pathway between fat cells and the brain. The findings reveal that the brain doesn’t regulate fat burning by just slowly responding to hormona… Continue reading Researchers discover new way fat cells talk directly with the brain
