Breakthrough in Understanding Metabolic Health Using BXD Mouse Population
Researchers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have developed a metabolic health score (MHS) using a genetically diverse mouse population, BXD, to study metabolic syndrome (MetS). By analyzing key health indicators and identifying genetic regions associated with metabolic health, this study offers valuable insights for understanding the genetic basis of metabolic conditions in humans.
Study Links Prenatal Exposure to Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals to Increased Risk of Metabolic Syndrome in Children
A recent study by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health found a concerning link between prenatal exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and an increased risk of metabolic syndrome in children. The research, published in JAMA Network Open, highlights the potential long-term health implications of EDC exposure and emphasizes the need for further research and public health initiatives to address these risks.
The Potential Health Benefits of the Atlantic Diet
Discover the potential health benefits of the Atlantic diet, a traditional diet from northwest Spain and Portugal. Similar to the Mediterranean diet, it includes fresh fish, seasonal vegetables, legumes, whole grains, dairy, and moderate wine consumption. A recent study suggests that the Atlantic diet may reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome, while emphasizing the importance of limiting red meat consumption and opting for plant-based protein alternatives like legumes.
The Atlantic Diet: A New Contender for Health Benefits
Discover the potential health benefits of the Atlantic diet, a plant-based and locally sourced diet originating from northern Portugal and northwestern Spain. Recent studies show its positive impact on heart health, longevity, and a decrease in the incidence of metabolic syndrome. Leading nutrition researcher Dr. Walter Willett emphasizes the adaptability of the Traditional Mediterranean Diet principles to other cultures. Embrace regionally inspired dietary patterns that promote health and sustainability.
High Stress Levels from Adolescence to Adulthood Linked to Increased Cardiometabolic Risk, Study Finds
High stress levels from teenage years to adulthood may significantly increase the risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases, according to a recent study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. The study, conducted by researchers from the Keck School…
