23.01.2022 1 in 3 people who took a new drug for treating obesity - a risk factor for type 2 diabetes - lost more than one-fifth of their total body weight, according to a major global study involving UCL researchers. The findings from the large-scale international trial are being hailed as a "gamechanger" for improving the health of people with obesity and could play a major part in helping the UK to reduce the impact of diseases, such as COVID-19.

19.01.2022 A recent study in rats with fatty liver disease - who were fed with a dietary supplement that is known to increase the growth of good bacteria in the gut - increased abundance of the bacteria and saw liver fat content decreased significantly, according to researchers. In addition, preliminary results from a human study seem promising.

18.01.2022 Gut hormones play an important role in regulating fat production in the body. One key hormone, released a few hours after eating, turns off fat production by regulating gene expression in the liver, but this regulation is abnormal in obesity (which is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes), researchers found in a new study. https://www.news-medical.net//Regulation-of-fat-production
18.01.2022 What causes some people to develop chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, cancer and metabolic syndrome while others stay healthy? A major clue could be found in their gut microbiome the trillions of microbes living inside the digestive system that regulate various bodily functions. To utilize the huge population of tiny organisms as a proxy for peoples well-being, Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a Gut Microbiome Health Index. This index distinguishes a hea...lthy microbiome from one that is diseased. https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org//mayo-scientists-devel/

16.01.2022 In rodents with type 2 diabetes, a single surgical injection of a protein called fibroblast growth factor 1 can restore blood sugar levels to normal for weeks or months. "By interrogating cellular and molecular responses induced in the hypothalamus by a brain peptide called fibroblast growth factor 1, our international teams latest findings chart a path towards a more complete understanding how this effect is achieved. "These insights," said Michael Schwartz, professor of m...edicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine and co-director of the UW Medicine Diabetes Institute, "may one day inform therapeutic strategies for inducing sustained diabetes remission, rather than simply lowering blood sugar levels on a day-to-day basis as current treatments do." https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases//uowh-tbc090420.php
16.01.2022 Have a wonderful day.
16.01.2022 Geographic remoteness is strongly associated with a reduced likelihood of being prescribed the most recent classes of glucose-lowering medications, find Australian researchers. [G]iven Australia’s size, individuals in remote areas are often many hours from healthcare and so continued receipt of older, hypoglycaemia-inducing medications is concerning, the team writes in Diabetologia.

15.01.2022 We are thrilled to have recently awarded a $60,000 grant to The University of Western Australia Professor Aleksandra Filipovska for 2021. Professor Filipovska, the head of the Mitochondrial Medicine and Biology laboratory at Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research will use the funding to investigate how a single gene change inside mitochondria causes insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.... This work aims to for the first time - uncover how this gene is linked to the predisposition to and cause of insulin resistance and its contribution to the development of type 2 diabetes.

14.01.2022 Researchers have found evidence that triclosan an antimicrobial found in many soaps and other household items worsens fatty liver disease in mice fed a high-fat diet. The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, also details the molecular mechanisms by which triclosan disrupts metabolism and the gut microbiome, while also stripping away liver cells’ natural protections.

05.01.2022 A new study out this week during the Global Week for Action on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) highlights that global public health regulation intended to tackle unhealthy diets, a key risk factor for NCDs, is being consistently opposed by the food and drinks lobby. NCDs, such as heart disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes, account for over 70% for global death and disability but failure to implement co-ordinated and targeted action has led to a growing problem. https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_rel/2020-09/uob-sh091120.php

04.01.2022 Scientists have found that insulin has met an evolutionary cul-de-sac, limiting its ability to adapt to obesity and thereby rendering most people vulnerable to Type 2 diabetes. A recent study has determined that the sequence of insulin has become entrenched at the edge of impaired production, an intrinsic vulnerability unmasked by rare mutations in the insulin gene causing diabetes in childhood. https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases//iuso-ssm110520.php
