A University of Saskatchewan (USask) research team’s discovery of the additional health benefits of an appetite-suppressing protein has doubled the potential for scientists to find new ways to treat obesity and metabolic disorders in animals and humans. The researchers’ findings, recently published in the journal Nature Communications Biology, highlight their discovery of the lipid-lowering effects […]
Circadian Rhythms can Influence the Effectiveness of Medication
Using tiny engineered liver organs derived from human donor cells, researchers found that many genes involved in drug metabolism are under circadian control. These circadian fluctuations affect how much of a drug is available and how effectively the body can break it down. For example, they found that enzymes that break down Tylenol and other […]
Men Versus Women: How Sleep, Circadian Rhythms And Metabolism Differ
A new review of research has examined the key differences in the sleep patterns of women and men, the fluctuations in their body clocks and the impact on their metabolism. The study, published in the journal Sleep Medicine Reviews, highlights the crucial role that gender plays in understanding these factors and suggests that a person’s […]
Can a High-Protein Diet Prolong Life?
Eating nutrient-rich foods can improve metabolic health and delay the ageing process. But what levels of macronutrients in the diet are appropriate to achieve this? To answer this question, Japanese researchers fed young and middle-aged male mice an isocaloric diet with varying levels of protein. They found that the mice were metabolically healthier when fed […]
Are Insomnia And Early Waking Associated With an Increased Risk of Anorexia?
New research suggests that the eating disorder anorexia nervosa is more likely to be associated with early risers, unlike many other disorders that tend to occur in the evening, such as depression, binge eating disorder and schizophrenia. The study, published in JAMA Network Open and led by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in collaboration […]
