New blood test might offer early warning of deep belly fat
07-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
Measuring levels of a chemical found in blood offers the best indicator yet of the amount of fat surrounding abdominal organs, according to a new study of lean and obese individuals reported in the July issue of Cell Metabolism, a publication of Cell Press. The buildup of such "visceral fat" is of particular health concern as it has been linked to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease risk.

TXNIP -- Regulator of glucose homeostasis and potential diabetes drug target and more
04-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
Glucose homeostasis, the appropriate balancing of blood sugar levels, is impaired early in patients who become diabetic, causing life-threatening complications such as kidney failure and heart attacks. A study of the mechanisms of glucose homeostasis and early diabetes has dentified a key regulator of glucose homeostasis in humans.

Panic attacks are linked to poor outcomes for diabetic patients, Group Health study finds
11-20-2006 · EurekAlert!
There is a strong link between panic episodes and increased complications from diabetes, according to a study conducted at Group Health Cooperative, a Seattle-based health system. The work appears in the November issue of General Hospital Psychiatry.Of the 4,385 patients surveyed, 193 reported experiencing recent episodes of panic. Panic episodes were associated with higher blood sugar levels, increased diabetic complications and symptoms, greater disability and lower self-rated health and functioning.

Duke researchers find physician resistance hinders diabetics use of cutting edge technology
10-13-2006 · EurekAlert!
Diabetic patients who use newer technologies such as insulin pumps and blood glucose monitoring devices are better able to manage their disease and adhere to treatment regimens, with less daily pain, than with conventional treatments, according to Duke University researchers. Yet researchers have found that the newer methods to manage diabetes are not being widely used because physicians may be reluctant to prescribe them, and even patients who are using them may not be deriving their full benefits.

Study reveals a key to blood vessel growth and possible drug target
10-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers have identified a molecular pathway that plays a critical role in the growth of blood vessels. The finding not only offers an important insight into the development of the vascular system during embryonic development but suggests a potential target for inhibiting the blood vessels that fuel cancers, diabetic eye complications and atherosclerosis, the researchers say.
