Magic Beans -- Anti-obesity soya could help prevent diabetes
02-25-2007 · EurekAlert!A new study in rats reveals black soya beans that a diet rich in could help control weight, lower fat and cholesterol levels, and help in the prevention of diabetes. Researchers have shown that rats fed with 10 percent soya had gained half as much weight as those without. Total blood cholesterol fell by 25 percent and LDL (so-called bad) cholesterol fell by 60 percent. Preventing obesity this way may also aid diabetes prevention.

- New Joslin research identifies sirtuin protein instrumental in fat production and metabolism
08-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new Joslin Diabetes Center-led study has identified a protein found in fat cells that may play a major role in how fat is produced and stored, offering a new target for treatments to prevent obesity and reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes. This latest research appears in the August 2007 issue of Cell Metabolism.

- Fat protein cuts blood vessel inflammation, may help heart, Jefferson scientists find
06-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
A natural substance from fat cells can protect blood vessels from the damaging effects of inflammation, which contributes to heart disease. Researchers at Jefferson Medical College have shown for the first time in an animal model that the substance - a protein called adiponectin - helps prevent immune system white blood cells from binding to the inside of blood vessel walls. Harnessing adiponectin's properties may help protect against blood vessel damage in patients with obesity and diabetes.

- Quick-burning carbs may cause fatty liver
09-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
The obesity epidemic has spawned not just diabetes, but another serious public health problem: a surge in fatty liver disease, which can lead to cirrhosis and liver failure. Now, research suggests that limiting consumption of high-glycemic-index carbohydrates can prevent the condition in mice. A clinical trial is now testing this idea in overweight adolescents, as well as the possibility of reversing fatty liver disease through diet.

- Single molecule extends fat mice lives by reversing gene pathways associated with disease in obese
11-01-2006 · EurekAlert!
Researchers have used a single compound to increase the lifespan of obese mice, and found that the drug reversed nearly all of the changes in gene expression patterns found in mice on high calorie diets -- some of which are associated with diabetes, heart disease and other significant diseases related to obesity. The research is the first time that the small molecule resveratrol has been shown to offer survival benefits in a mammal.

- Risk factors for diabetes following liver transplant
01-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new study on risk factors of new-onset diabetes mellitus (NODM) following liver transplant found that a history of obesity, impaired fasting glucose and hepatitis C infection (HCV) paired with the use of a particular immunosuppressant are associated with an increased risk of NODM. Since all of these factors can be detected prior to undergoing a transplant, treatment should be tailored to the patient's risk.

- Interfering with vagal nerve activity in mice prevents diabetes and hypertension
02-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
Interrupting nerve signals to the liver can prevent diabetes and hypertension in mice, according to scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The finding is reported in the February issue of the journal Cell Metabolism. The research team surgically removed the vagus nerve in mice and found the procedure prevented or reversed the development of insulin resistance and high blood pressure in mice primed to develop these disorders through treatment with glucocorticoids.

- Incidence of Fatty Liver Disease rises as obesity in children increases
03-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
As part of a national multicenter research network, Indiana University School of Medicine researchers are looking at Vitamin E and at metformin, a drug used to treat Type II diabetes, as possible therapies for Fatty Liver Disease in 8 to 17 year olds. Fatty Liver Disease may exist in 15 percent or more of obese children.

- Study of US restaurants shows no healthier foods without healthier profits
04-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
With obesity, diabetes and other diet-related maladies on the rise in the United States, are healthy choices available when eating out? In an interview study of top executives at major U.S. restaurant chains, researchers found that growing sales and increasing profits led the list of factors that drive menu selection. The study, reported in the May issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, sought to understand how restaurant chains make decisions about their menus.
