Unraveling the Link Between Obesity and Heart Failure

A new small study has revealed the impact of obesity on muscle structure in patients having a form of heart failure called heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). A new small study led by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers and published July 25th in the journal Nature Cardiovascular Research has revealed the impact of

Cutting Calories? Ditch the Dip for a Slimmer Plate!

Snacks provide, on average, about one-fourth of most people's daily calories. With nearly one in three adults in the United States overweight and more than two in five with obesity, researchers are investigating how Americans can snack smarter. Snacks provide, on average, about one-fourth of most people's daily calories. With nearly one in three adults

Blood Fat Profiles: Health Benefits of Replacing Butter with High-Quality Plant Oils

Switching from a diet high in saturated animal fats to one rich in plant-based unsaturated fats affects the fat composition in the blood, which in turn influences long-term disease risk. A study shows that it is possible to accurately measure diet-related fat changes in the blood and directly link them to the risk of developing

Gut Microbe Blastocystis Linked to Improved Cardiovascular Health and Reduced Body Fat: New Research

In a study involving 50,000+ individuals from around the world, higher gut levels of Blastocystis, a single-celled organism commonly found in the digestive system, were linked to more favorable indicators of health. In an analysis of more than 50,000 individuals from around the world, carriers of gut Blastocystis, a single-celled organism that has been labeled

Reducing Adverse Side Effects of Next-Generation Obesity Medications: A Promising Discovery

By teasing apart the therapeutic benefits from the adverse effects of new generation obesity medications, researchers found a population of neurons in the brain that controls food intake without causing nausea in an animal model. The next chapter in the story of headline-making popular obesity drugs may center on the physiological relationship between feeling satisfied

How to Stop Cancer Cachexia: Tips to Combat and Prevent Weight Loss” – Optimizing Cancer Cachexia Treatment

Researchers have discovered a new potential drug target for the lethal wasting disease known as cancer cachexia. Their findings illustrate that even small groups of neurons in the brain can have an outsized impact on the body's cancer response. Cancer is insidious. Throughout tumor progression, the disease hijacks otherwise healthy biological processes -- like the

Preventing Diabetes: Slash Processed Meat Intake by One-Third to Save 350,000+ Cases in the US in 10 Years

Reducing consumption of processed meat by around one-third could prevent more than 350,000 cases of diabetes in the US over 10 years. Reducing consumption of processed meat by around one-third could prevent more than 350,000 cases of diabetes in the US over 10 years, a study suggests. Cutting US adults' processed meat intake by 30

Comprehensive Youth Diabetes Dataset and Interactive Portal for Research and Prevention Strategies

A team has developed the most comprehensive epidemiological dataset for youth diabetes and prediabetes research, derived from extensive National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data collected from 1999 to 2018. The dataset, revealed through the newly launched Prediabetes/diabetes in youth ONline Dashboard (POND), aims to ignite a new wave of research into the escalating

Comparing Weight Change in Antidepressant Medications: What You Need to Know

A new study compared weight change across eight common first-line antidepressants for patients taking an antidepressant for the first time. The study found differences in weight change between the different antidepressants after medication initiation, with bupropion consistently showing the least weight gain. The study adds rigorous evidence on expected weight gain across common antidepressant treatments.

Discover the Potential of Oxytocin for Obesity and Postnatal Depression: Genetic Study Insights

Scientists have identified a gene which, when missing or impaired, can cause obesity, behavioural problems and, in mothers, postnatal depression. The discovery, reported today in Cell, may have wider implications for the treatment of postnatal depression, with a study in mice suggesting that oxytocin may alleviate symptoms. Scientists have identified a gene which, when missing

Unlocking the Power of Proteins and Fats: Customized Nutrition and Insulin Production

When it comes to managing blood sugar levels, most people think about counting carbs. But new research shows that, for some, it may be just as important to consider the proteins and fats in their diet. The study is the first large-scale comparison of how different people produce insulin in response to each of the

Revolutionary Breakthrough: Scientists Transform White Fat Cells into Calorie-Burning Beige Fat

Researchers have figured out how to turn ordinary white fat cells, which store calories, into beige fat cells that burn calories to maintain body temperature. New UCSF study shows that suppressing a protein turns ordinary fat into a calorie burner and may explain why drug trials attempting the feat haven't been successful. Researchers at UC

Largest Genetic Study Reveals Links Between Age of Puberty in Girls and Weight Gain: Key Findings

Genes can indirectly influence the age at which girls have their first period by accelerating weight gain in childhood, a known risk factor for early puberty. Other genes can directly affect age of puberty, some with profound effects. Genes can indirectly influence the age at which girls have their first period by accelerating weight gain

Optimum Protection Against Diabetes: Weight Loss and Prediabetes Remission

People with prediabetes are advised to reduce their weight in order to prevent manifest diabetes. Researchers have now been able to show that people achieve the best diabetes protection when they reduce their weight and at the same time normalize blood sugar regulation. People with prediabetes are advised to reduce their weight in order to
