Exercise In Low Oxygen Environment May Result In Improved Insulin Sensitivity-Sun, 05 Feb 2012 00:00:00 PST,Intermittent exercise with and without low oxygen concentrations (or hypoxia) can improve insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetics, however exercise while under hypoxic conditions provides greater improvements in glycemic control than intermittent exercise alone, according to a recent study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM)...
Memory Function - Decaffeinated Coffee May Help-Sun, 05 Feb 2012 00:00:00 PST,Drinking decaffeinated coffee may improve brain energy metabolism associated with diabetes type 2, according to a study published in Nutritional Neuroscience and carried out by researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Brain energy metabolism is a dysfunction with a known risk factor for dementia and other neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease...
Link Between Insulin Resistance And Brain Health In Elderly-Fri, 03 Feb 2012 01:00:00 PST,New research from Uppsala University shows that reduced insulin sensitivity is linked to smaller brain size and deteriorated language skills in seniors. The findings are now published in the scientific journal Diabetes Care. The main hormonal function of insulin is to support the uptake and use of glucose in muscles and fat tissues...
Metabolic Side Effects Such As Obesity And Diabetes Caused By Antipsychotic Medications-Fri, 03 Feb 2012 01:00:00 PST,In 2008, roughly 14.3 million Americans were taking antipsychotics - typically prescribed for bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or a number of other behavioral disorders - making them among the most prescribed drugs in the U.S...
Seasonal Changes May Influence The Efficacy Of Vaccination Against Diabetes-Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:00:00 PST,The development of a medicine for patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, based on autoantigen GAD65, received a setback following crucial clinical phase 3 trials that failed to show significant effects. One possible explanation may be seasonal variations in the immune system, claim those responsible for the study that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM)...
Brain Energy Metabolism Improved By Decaffeinated Coffee-Thu, 02 Feb 2012 01:00:00 PST,Researchers from Mount Sinai School of Medicine have discovered that decaffeinated coffee may improve brain energy metabolism associated with type 2 diabetes. This brain dysfunction is a known risk factor for dementia and other neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease. The research is published online in Nutritional Neuroscience...
Biological Time-Keeper Linked To Diabetes-Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:00:00 PST,Researchers in Lille and Paris demonstrated that mutations in the melatonin receptor gene (melatonin or the "hormone of darkness" induces sleep) lead to an almost sevenfold increase in the risk of developing diabetes. This research, which was published in Nature Genetics on 29 January 2012, could contributed to the development of new drugs for the treatment or prevention of this metabolic disease...
