05-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
Recent changes in the recommended treatments used for patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndromes, such as a heart attack, are associated with reductions in the rates of heart failure, stroke, heart attack and death, according to a study in the May 2 issue of JAMA.

- Metabolic syndrome -- don't blame the belly fat
07-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
Abdominal fat, the spare tire that many of us carry, has long been implicated as a primary suspect in causing the metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that includes the most dangerous heart attack risk factors: prediabetes, diabetes, high blood pressure, and changes in cholesterol. But researchers have found that insulin resistance in skeletal muscle leads to alterations in energy storage that set the stage for the metabolic syndrome.

- Toll of climate change on world food supply could be worse than thought
12-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
Global agriculture, already predicted to be stressed by climate change in coming decades, could go into steep, unanticipated declines in some regions due to complications that scientists have so far inadequately considered, say three new scientific reports. The authors say that progressive changes predicted to stem from 1- to 5-degree C temperature rises in coming decades fail to account for seasonal extremes of heat, drought or rain, multiplier effects of spreading diseases or weeds, and other ecological upsets.

- Evidence From Ice Age That Climate Change Can Have A Rapid Effect On Ocean Circulation
10-09-2006 · ScienceDaily
Sudden shifts in temperature over Greenland and tropical rainfall patterns during the last ice age have been linked for the first time to rapid changes in the salinity of the north Atlantic Ocean. The results provide further evidence that climate change can have a direct and rapid impact on ocean circulation and chemistry.

- Metabolic syndrome linked to cold tolerance
02-14-2008 · EurekAlert!
Many of the genetic variations that have enabled human populations to tolerate colder climates may also affect their susceptibility to metabolic syndrome, a cluster of related abnormalities such as obesity, elevated cholesterol levels, heart disease and diabetes.

- Growth hormone is not the anti-aging bullet for healthy adults
01-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
A review of published data on use of human growth hormone by healthy elderly people found that the synthetic hormone was associated with small changes in body composition but not in body weight or other clinically important outcomes. Further, people who took GH had increased rates of unhealthy side effects such as soft tissue swelling, joint pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and, in men, abnormal breast development and were also somewhat more likely to develop diabetes.

- Linking players in blood pressure control to metabolic syndrome
12-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new study elucidates the connection between an enzyme involved in blood pressure control and symptoms of the metabolic syndrome. The researchers report in the December issue of Cell Metabolism, a publication of Cell Press, that mice lacking the enzyme known as renin are lean and resistant to gaining weight on a high-fat diet, even though they continue to eat just as much and don't exercise more.

07-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
A daily pint or a helping of dairy foods protect against the clustering of abnormal body chemistry known as the metabolic syndrome, suggests a study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.The syndrome has been linked to an increased risk of diabetes, coronary artery disease and premature death.

06-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
Typified by high blood pressure, weight gain around the waist and problems regulating blood sugar, metabolic syndrome may also be associated with compromised heart structure and function, according to a paper published in the online open access journal BMC Cardiovascular Disorders.
