Researchers discover previously unknown mechanism for how 'starvation response' is triggered

Body cells burn off fat reserves when nutrient supply from food ceases. A team led by Professor Volker Haucke and Dr. Wonyul Jang from the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) has now discovered a previously unknown mechanism for how this “starvation response” is triggered, and what can inhibit it.

Researchers unravel the molecular mechanisms of steatosis-to-NASH progression

The global prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is estimated to be > 25% and will continue to rise.

Intermittent fasting diet intervention may help patients to achieve complete diabetes remission

After an intermittent fasting diet intervention, patients achieved complete diabetes remission, defined as an HbA1c (average blood sugar) level of less than 6.5% at least one year after stopping diabetes medication, according to a new study published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

Vitamin D levels for population in the Mediterranean area are not sufficiently analyzed, researchers say

Vitamin D is a hormone that is essential to a number of bodily processes, mainly absorbing and maintaining calcium, which is key for strong bones, but it also plays a role in inflammation processes, the immune system, cell growth and the metabolism.

Study reveals limited effects of longevity treatments on the aging process

Three approaches with a reputation for slowing aging processes have proven largely ineffective. For their study, researchers developed a new method to measure aging, which accounts for the complexity of aging in organisms.

Correlating circulating adipokine levels with COVID-19 severity

Researchers determine whether plasma adipokine levels were associated with COVID-19-related systemic inflammation and severity.

Subcutaneous fat protects against brain inflammation in females

Females' propensity to deposit more fat in places like their hips, buttocks and the backs of their arms, so-called subcutaneous fat, is protective against brain inflammation, which can result in problems like dementia and stroke, at least until menopause, scientists report.

People with daily step count of 10,700 are 44% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes

Wearable fitness devices offer new insights into the relationship between physical activity and type 2 diabetes, according to a new analysis of the National Institutes of Health's All of Us Research Program data published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

Aging influences the diagnosis and treatment of heart attacks in patients over age 75

For people ages 75 and older, age-related changes in general health and in the heart and blood vessels require consideration and likely modifications in how heart attacks and heart disease are treated, according to a new American Heart Association scientific statement published today in the Association's flagship, peer-reviewed journal Circulation.

How vaping impacts alveolar macrophage lipid content

The use of e-cigs increases the risk of acute respiratory syndrome.

Study proposes a new concept for treating COVID-19 associated weight loss

Losing too much weight when infected with COVID-19 has been linked to worse outcomes. Now, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have discovered that SARS-CoV-2 infection fuels blood vessel formation in fat tissues, thus revving up the body's thermogenic metabolism.
