Heparan-sulfate-modified proteins, or proteoglycans (HSPGs), may be a useful early-stage target for novel treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, according to research led by Pennsylvania State University. Up to seven million Americans suffer with Alzheimer’s disease, a neurological condition that is steadily on the rise. The majority of these patients are over 65. While many late-stage trials […]

A recent survey found that the percentage of Americans who have “poor diet quality” has dropped from roughly 49 percent to 37 percent. According to the study, which was published this week in the Annals of Internal Medicine, “the proportion of U.S. adults with poor diet quality decreased from 48.8% to 37.4%” between 1999 and […]

Between 1993 and 1996, researchers examined 25,315 women’s health records, including blood samples, biomarker assessments, and dietary information. We kept track of these women for twenty-five years. The chance of dying from all causes decreased by 23%, which could be attributed in part to cardiometabolic risk factors. These include body mass index (BMI), insulin resistance, […]

According to a new JAMA Network Open study, individuals with the highest intake of plant-based diets had a 47% reduced chance of the disease advancing or reoccurring than those with diets mostly consisting of meat and dairy products. The study included 2062 men who were diagnosed with prostate cancer. “Plant foods are also a source […]

Although dietary studies usually do not include these patients, Thomas M. Campbell, the research lead author and an expert on the use of plant-based diets to improve health, says that with the growing number of these patients surviving, there was an opportunity to make a short- and long-term impact. Thirty patients who could stomach food […]

The crucial role that the protein Contactin-4, which is produced by the gene CNTN4, plays in forming neurons has been identified by a recent study headed by the University of Exeter and published in Open Biology. Although CNTN4 was recognized to have a part in autism, its functional roles were unclear, which is why the […]

A few days working night shifts can disrupt protein rhythms linked to energy metabolism, blood glucose control, and inflammation—processes that can have an impact on the emergence of chronic metabolic disorders. The discovery, which came from a study headed by researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Washington State University, offers fresh insights into the […]
