That diabetes and cancer are linked in some way is by no means a new idea, but it had never previously been confirmed. Now, a major new study draws a firm conclusion: diabetes raises a person’s risk of developing cancer. New research warns that the risk of cancer is sex-specific in people with diabetes, and […]
Despite significant advances in pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, mood disorders remain a significant source of mental capital loss, with high rates of treatment resistance, requiring a coordinated effort in investigation and development of efficient, tolerable and accessible novel interventions. Ketogenic diet (KD) is a low-carb diet that substantially changes the energetic matrix of the body […]
This year, more than 610,000 Americans will die from heart disease. It’s the leading cause of death for both men and women. For decades, doctors and nutritionists prescribed low-fat diets to people trying to lower their risk of heart disease. Saturated fats in meats and dairy products were thought to clog our arteries. Grains — […]
For the first time, scientists have found a connection between abnormalities in how the brain breaks down glucose and the severity of the signature amyloid plaques and tangles in the brain, as well as the onset of eventual outward symptoms, of Alzheimer’s disease. The study was supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part […]
A trio of new studies show that too little or too much sleep is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Sleeping less than five hours per night raises the risk for a heart attack or stroke by about the same degree as smoking does, according one study in older men. This adds to a significant body of evidence that […]
Patients with type 2 diabetes were two to four times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke, the British Heart Foundation said, Heart attacks and strokes will rocket over the coming years as the diabetes epidemic sweeping the nation takes its toll, a charity has warned. The increase could be as high as […]
Children as young as nine are being treated for type 2 diabetes in a devastating consequence of the obesity crisis. Doctors are reporting a surge in cases among children and teenagers – whereas 20 years ago the illness had only ever been seen in adults. A national audit shows the number of under-25s being treated for […]
Cancer cells increase glucose metabolism to support aerobic glycolysis. However, only some cancer cells are acutely sensitive to glucose withdrawal, and the underlying mechanism of this selective sensitivity is unclear. We showed that glucose deprivation initiates a cell death pathway in cancer cells that is dependent on the kinase RIPK1. Glucose withdrawal triggered rapid plasma […]
Harumi Okuyama outlines the research that lead to his paper that argues statins stimulate atherosclerosis and heart failure. ‘Statins stimulate atherosclerosis and heart failure: pharmacological mechanisms’ published in Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology in February 2015. Our review on cholesterol-lowering drugs, statins, was published in the Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology in 2015, and had been downloaded from the journal […]
