Dr. Carlos Ferrario, M.D. Director of the Hypertension and Vascular Research Center at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, has released a study showing that there is evidence about benefits of angiotensin receptor blocker medications indicates that they can prevent or reverse blood vessel damage in hypertensive patients.
The research looked at the effects [...]
Being able to predict patients who will develop Type-1 diabetes is of great clinical importance. Using technology developed by Antigen Express, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Generex Biotechnology, Antigen Express researchers are now a step closer to a reliable, highly sensitive blood test that will identify Type-1 diabetes patients to allow early intervention.
This new research will [...]
One of the devastating effects of long term diabetes is severe kidney damage and there has up until now been little to prevent this complication. Hope may be on the horizon with a new study that used two existing drugs to prevent kidney damage in the diabetic patient.
By using a combination of losartan (Cozaar) and [...]
Bisphenol A, or BPA a chemical found in numerous plastics that contain our foods and make up some water bottles and baby bottles has been linked to the development of obesity.
Bisphenol A, or BPA exposure during the development of a fetus in the womb and exposure while in infancy is associated with obesity later in [...]
Researchers from Washington U School of Medicine ( St. Louis) working on diabetic mice have discovered in great detail the immune system cells that are the likely cause of type 1 diabetes. Scientists were able to look at the immune system cells from insulin-producing cells in the pancreas known as the islets of [...]
Cow’s milk is commonly used in infant formula and proteins that are found in this type of milk may make it more likely that an autoimmune response develops that can cause some individuals to develop antibodies against their own insulin producing cells in the pancreas. This may lead to juvenile diabetes in some patients.
In a [...]
The list of health problems associated with Bishenol A (a common plastic molecule to which virtually all Americans are exposed) continues to grow:
Bisphenol A has been known to be estrogenic since the mid-1930s. It is used to make polycarbonate plastic as well as dental sealants and a resin coating for food cans [...]
University of Chicago researchers have found that many of the gene variations which enabled humans to tolerate cold climates affect the susceptibility to metabolic syndrome (a cluster of related abnormalities including obesity, elevated cholesterol levels, heart disease, and diabetes).
Over100 years ago, scientists noted that humans inhabiting colder regions were stockier and had relatively shorter arms and legs. More recently, [...]
