Share on PinterestNarly 60% of U.S. women could have at least one type of cardiovascular disease by 2050. Ana Luz Crespi/Stocksy Researchers say the heart health of American women will decline over the next 25 years if current trends continue. A new AHA scientific statement projects that 60% of U.S. women will have at least […]

Share on PinterestReports of people developing scurvy while taking GLP-1 medications are on the rise. Milles Team/Shutterstock Reports of GLP-1 users developing scurvy have increased in recent months. GLP-1 drugs can lead to malnutrition since they reduce appetite and food consumption. People may also consume fewer vitamin C-rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables. Proper […]

Read MoreThe browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) enhances thermogenesis and represents a promising approach for combating obesity and metabolic disorders. miRNA-494 (miR-494) acts as a suppressor of browning in cultured adipocytes via regulation of peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor γ coactivator 1α, and its inhibition is expected to promote browning and thereby improve obesity and metabolic disorders. […]
Read MoreFibroblasts play a pivotal role in wound healing, particularly during the proliferative and remodeling phase, where they migrate to the injury site, proliferate, and synthesize essential extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen and fibronectin (FN). However, fibroblast functionality is compromised because of factors such as vascular dysfunction and oxidative stress in diabetic wounds, leading […]
Read MoreIndirect calorimetry determines energy expenditure by measuring respiratory gas exchange. The approach is based on the principle that nutrient metabolism consumes O2 and produces CO2 and water in predictable ratios that can be compared with heat production. Due to the impracticality and high cost of direct calorimetry, indirect calorimetry is the major approach for modern […]
Read MoreCurrent imaging technologies cannot detect diabetic retinopathy until there has been significant permanent damage to patients’ vision. We hypothesized that hyperglycemia causes retinal hypoxia, and hypoxia may lead to apoptosis of retinal cells. We performed experiments using a mouse model of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes to investigate the role of hyperglycemia in diabetic eye disease. Our […]
Read MoreYounger-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) (onset <40 years) represents a growing global health challenge, characterized by heterogenous pathophysiology and accelerated complications. Current one-size-fits-all treatment approaches may be inadequate for this population. To address this heterogeneity, we performed clinical variable-based clustering using BMI, onset age, HbA1c, and HOMA2 indices in 717 participants across discovery and validation […]
