Study examines benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors in individuals with type 1 diabetes

In addition to lowering blood sugar levels, diabetes drugs called sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors can provide kidney- and cardiovascular-related benefits for people with type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes medication reduces the rate of kidney function decline in CKD patients

Clinical trial data reveal that dapagliflozin - a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor prescribed to treat diabetes - reduces the rate of kidney function decline in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The findings will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2021 November 4–November 7.

Therapeutics that target ceramides may help treat cardiometabolic disease

Therapeutics that target lipids called ceramides might hold potential for treating cardiometabolic disease, argues a review article published November 5th in the journal Trends in Pharmacological Sciences.

Despite restraints, democrats’ drug pricing plan could still aid consumers

The Medicare prescription drug pricing plan Democrats unveiled this week is not nearly as ambitious as many lawmakers sought, but they and drug policy experts say the provisions crack open the door to reforms that could have dramatic effects.

APOL1 variant risk may extend to poorer outcomes from SARS-CoV-2 infection

Now, a new study published on the medRxiv* preprint server tests the hypothesis that adverse COVID-19 outcomes are associated with the variants of the APOL1 gene.

Study estimates how many people with type 2 diabetes achieve remission

Around one in twenty people in Scotland diagnosed with type 2 diabetes achieve remission from the disease, according to research publishing November 2nd in the open-access journal PLOS Medicine.

The 5:2 diet is effective at achieving weight loss in women with gestational diabetes

Weight loss after gestational diabetes can prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. Yet finding the most effective way to lose weight and keep it off can be a challenge, especially for mothers with a new baby.

Study focuses on helping shiftworkers to better manage their eating habits

In Australia, one in every five employees are shift workers. But when you work irregular hours, you eat at irregular hours and this can put you at increased risk of weight gain, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Neighborhood fast-food environment associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes

An increasing number of studies suggest a link between a neighborhood's built environment and the likelihood that its residents will develop chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and certain types of cancers.

If Congress adds dental coverage to Medicare, should all seniors get it?

William Stork needs a tooth out. That's what the 71-year-old retired truck driver's dentist told him during a recent checkup.

New method reveals changes in protein structure more efficiently and accurately than before

Important processes take place among the subunits of the molecules that make up our cells. Defects in these processes or distortions in the subunits can lead to serious diseases.

SARS-CoV-2 vaccination lowers risk of several outcomes after breakthrough infection

Researchers at the University of Oxford have conducted a study showing that vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with a lower risk of several sequelae among those who experience breakthrough infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Modulating glycogen metabolism in fat cells may offer new approaches for weight loss

Humans carry around with them, often abundantly so, at least two kinds of fat tissue: white and brown. White fat cells are essentially inert containers for energy stored in the form of a single large, oily droplet.

Researchers develop genetic risk score to predict development of alcohol-induced cirrhosis

An international research group led by the Centenary Institute has developed a world first genetic risk score (GRS) test able to identify patients at high-risk of developing alcohol-related cirrhosis.

Skeletal muscle in individuals with type 2 diabetes has a different circadian rhythm, research shows

Almost all cells regulate their biological processes over a 24-hour period, otherwise called a cell's circadian rhythm. To do so, cells use a biological clock that cycles different genes on and off throughout the day and night. Scientists already know that our metabolic health can suffer when our biological clock breaks down, due to shift work or sleep disorders, for example. However, it's unclear how exactly the biological clock of people with type 2 diabetes differs from healthy people.

Researchers develop a new method to remove old cells from tissues to slow down aging

No one knows why some people age worse than others and develop diseases -such as Alzheimer's, fibrosis, type 2 diabetes or some types of cancer- associated with this ageing process.

Mapping proteo-genomic connections between different human diseases

Hundreds of connections between different human diseases have been uncovered through their shared origin in our genome by an international research team led by scientists from the Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge, challenging the categorization of diseases by organ, symptoms, or clinical specialty.

Contraceptive pill can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes in women with PCOS, study reveals

A study led by the University of Birmingham has revealed for the first time that the contraceptive pill can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by over a quarter in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
