Mashup Score: 14After spinal cord injury, neurons wreak havoc on metabolism - 1 year(s) ago
Conditions such as diabetes, heart attack and vascular diseases commonly diagnosed in people with spinal cord injuries can be traced to abnormal post-injury neuronal activity that causes abdominal fat tissue compounds to leak and pool in the liver and other organs, a new animal study has found. After discovering the connection between dysregulat…

Mashup Score: 16Fatty food before surgery may impair memory in old, young adults - 1 year(s) ago
Eating fatty food in the days leading up to surgery may prompt a heightened inflammatory response in the brain that interferes for weeks with memory-related cognitive function in older adults – and, new research in animals suggests, even in young adults.The study, building upon previous research from the same lab at The Ohio State University, …

Mashup Score: 26
A new study has found that the brain system enabling us to inhibit our own pain changes with age, and that gender-based differences in those changes may lead females to be more sensitive to moderate pain than males as older adults.Researchers used fMRI scans to examine brain responses in men and women who had rated the intensity and unpleasantne…

Mashup Score: 4Stress, via inflammation, is linked to metabolic syndrome - 1 year(s) ago
Lifestyle and genetics, and a range of other factors within and outside our control, are known to contribute to development of metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that add up to increased risk for serious health problems. A new study has found that stress, through its propensity to drive up inflammation in the body, is also linked to met…

Mashup Score: 11Harnessing the power of a parasite that can stop pain - 1 year(s) ago
For the first time, scientists have begun to figure out why the disfiguring skin lesions caused by cutaneous leishmaniasis don’t hurt.Researchers analyzed leishmaniasis lesions on mouse skin to detect metabolic signaling pathways that differed from uninfected mice. Results suggested the parasites that cause the disease change pain perception �…

Mashup Score: 21U.S. adults eat a meal’s worth of calories of snacks in a day - 1 year(s) ago
Snacks constitute almost a quarter of a day’s calories in U.S. adults and account for about one-third of daily added sugar, a new study suggests.Researchers analyzing data from surveys of over 20,000 people found that Americans averaged about 400 to 500 calories in snacks a day – often more than what they consumed at breakfast – that offer…

Mashup Score: 1A lethal parasite’s secret weapon: infecting non-immune cells - 2 year(s) ago
The organisms that cause visceral leishmaniasis, a potentially deadly version of the parasitic disease that most often affects the skin to cause disfiguring disease, appear to have a secret weapon, new research suggests: They can infect non-immune cells and persist in those uncommon environments. Researchers found the Leishmania donovani parasit…
