   A study comparing more genetic markers in the DNA of people with and without Alzheimer's disease than ever before enabled researchers to identify a common gene that appears to increase one's risk for developing Alzheimer's disease. The finding by researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute, Banner Alzheimer's Institute, Kronos Science Laboratory and their collaborative partners, suggests that the gene -- called GAB2 -- modifies an individual's risk when associated with other genes, including APOE4.

   05-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
   For a decade, the legislative push for "abstinence only" sex education has suggested that nonmarital sex negatively affects a teen's mental health. But a new study shows that the negative mental side effects of a teen's loss of virginity are confined to a small proportion of those who have sex -- specifically, young girls and both boys and girls who have sex earlier than their peers and whose relationships are uncommitted and ultimately fall apart.

6. Study identifies new regulator of fat metabolism
   06-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Over the past several years, animal studies have shown that high-fat, low-carbohydrate "ketogenic" diets cause demonstrable changes in metabolism and subsequent weight loss. Now, researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have identified a key mechanism behind this turn of events. Their findings, which appear in the June 2007 issue of Cell Metabolism, demonstrate that a liver hormone known as FGF21 is required to oxidize fatty acids -- and thereby burn calories.
