Mediterranean Diet Could Help to Prevent COPD

A study conducted to understand dietary patterns and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among men has discovered that Mediterranean diet halves the chances of developing progressive inflammatory lung disease (COPD). COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is an umbrella ...

Women With Heart Disease and Diabetes Less Likely to Receive Proper Care: Study

... Bird said that more research needs to be done to understand why there are gender differences in outpatient care. "As we become a nation with an older population, the type of routine preventive care we studied will become even more important," Bird said. "Understanding these gender differences may allow us t...

Most importantly, we understand how this sugar-based supplement inhibits the cells that attack the body, making metabolic therapy a rational approach to prevent or treat these debilitating diseases. The UC Irvine study defines how metabolic therapy with the sugar GlcNAc and other...

Investigating Coral Reefs to Help Understand Past and Future Climate Change

...te change we must first go back in the archives to understand a bit more about the natural cycles. This will enable us to decipher between natural changes and whats out of the ordinary, explained Gilbert Camoin, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General...

New Analytical Tool to Unravel the Cause of Diabetes

The group now plans to capture series of snapshots during individual folding reactions to identify multiple phases as the proteins convert from an unordered mishmash into flat sheets, then coil...

Clock Gene Plays Role in Weight Gain, Study Finds

...ns of the body. Scientists are working to better understand how the genes and proteins of the circadian clock in mammals affect not only activity cycles but also metabolism, which are tied to feeding cycles. Circadian rhythms were set in motion early in the history of life on the planet, and tied through evo...
