Inflammatory diets raise dementia and Alzheimer's risk

This research study links higher Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) scores to an increased risk of developing dementia, specifically Alzheimer's disease. The findings suggest that anti-inflammatory diets may offer a preventive strategy for dementia, underlining the need for further research to validate these associations.

Study reveals APOE-ε4 allele increases the risk for Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disease

Previous research has revealed that the Apolipoprotein-ε4 (APOE-ε4) allele increases the risk for a variety of diseases in aging populations, specifically Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disease. And yet, despite the negative effects of this genetic variant, it remains prevalent in approximately 20% of the human population.

SIRT1: Unlocking the secrets to better vascular health through resveratrol and energy restriction

Research investigates the effects of SIRT1 activation through resveratrol supplementation and energy restriction on vascular function in adults. The study reveals that both interventions increase circulating SIRT1, reduce sympathetic activity, and have positive impacts on vascular reactivity, indicating potential benefits for vascular health.

Study reveals contrasting effects of sucralose on insulin and glucose control

Sucralose, a commonly used artificial sweetener, has contrasting effects on insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis. While bolus administration of sucralose enhances insulin secretion and decreases glucose levels, long-term consumption exacerbates insulin resistance and glucose intolerance, particularly in combination with a high-fat diet. The study highlights the involvement of the T1R3-ERK1/2 pathway in sucralose-induced insulin resistance in the liver.
