...might work through this mechanism] to increase fat oxidation in the liver,' said Maratos-Flier, noting that the rise in obesity has contributed to a growing epidemic of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.Mammals survive periods of nutrient deprivation by shifting from carbohydrates to so-called ketone bodies as ...

A Novel Target for Type-2 Diabetes Atk2

...er of a diabetic might be fooled into stopping the oxidation of fat stores. Muscle and fat tissue also burn fat stores, and we are currently investigating whether PGC-1a and Akt2/PKB have the same role in those tissues, says Birnbaum. The researchers also found that insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of PGC-...

New Genetic Biomarkers Could Predict Coronary Heart Disease

...type-2 diabetic. Diabetics are more susceptible to oxidation and inflammation which could be the one of the reasons for telomere shortening and so an early indication of their telomeres starting to shorten could indicate the onset of diabetes and ultimately be a predictor for CAD. In other words, telomere shor...
