Washington [US], September 21 (ANI): According to a study, reducing protein consumption can help regulate metabolic syndrome and some of its key symptoms, such as obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure (hypertension). An article reporting the study is published in the journal Nutrients. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that heighten the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and diabetes, including hypertension, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist and [...]

Washington [US], September 15 (ANI): A group of researchers has made an important contribution to scientists' understanding of the brain's navigation system by identifying a subtype of these neurons that can gauge speed with great precision, more than a decade after the role of pyramidal neurons in mental representations of space and location was discovered. "In experiments involving animals, we demonstrated an association between the electrical activity of inhibitory [...]

Sao Paula [Brazil], April 17 (ANI): Higher consumption of ultra-processed foods is strongly associated with an increased weight gain. Researchers at the University of Sao Paulo have calculated the impact of adolescents consuming ultra-processed foods on the risk of obesity. The findings of the study were published in the journal, 'Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics'. There are 3,587 adolescents aged 12-19 who took part in the 2011-16 National Health and Nutrition [...]

The rhythms of activity in all biological organisms, both plants and animals, are closely linked to the gravitational tides created by the orbital mechanics of the Sun-Earth-Moon system. This truth has been somewhat neglected by scientific research but is foregrounded in a study by an international team of researchers. The findings by Cristiano de Mello Gallep at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Daniel Robert at the University of Bristol in the [...]

Sao Paulo [Brazil], September 5 (ANI): Older people with abdominal fat, weak muscles have a risk of developing mobility problems, according to a recent study led by a team of international researchers. The findings of the study published in the journal 'Age and Ageing', revealed that the dangerous combination of weak muscles and abdominal fat can lead to a significant loss of gait speed in older people. The study was conducted by researchers at the Federal University of Sao Carlos [...]

Sao Paulo [Brazil], September 1 (ANI): A new study has found that the dangerous combination of weak muscles and abdominal fat can lead to a significant loss of gait speed in older people. The findings of the study were published in the journal 'Age and Ageing'. The study was conducted by researchers at the Federal University of Sao Carlos (UFSCar) in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, in partnership with colleagues at University College London (UCL) in the UK. A slower gait is a natural [...]

Brasilia [Brazil], August 25 (ANI): Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can increase the benefits of aerobic exercise and improve the gait of patients with Parkinson's disease immediately after a session. Step time variability decreases, reaction time shortens, and executive control of gait is enhanced. These were the main findings of a randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled crossover study of 20 volunteers by researchers at Sao Paulo State University's Institute of [...]

Washington [US], July 23 (ANI): Remotely supervised workout sessions were found to be more effective than face-to-face exercise classes during the COVID-19 pandemic, suggested a new study. The findings of the study appeared in the journal 'Psychiatry Research'. Researchers at the University of Sao Paulo (USP) in Brazil investigated the effects of regular exercise on the physical and mental health of 344 volunteers during the pandemic. The study compared the effectiveness of three [...]

Brasilia [Brazil], May 26 (ANI): A research group at Sao Paulo State University (UNESP) has analyzed how Candida albicans fungi and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria influence gene expression and tumour cell survival. An in vitro study conducted by researchers at UNESP in Araraquara, Brazil, shows how fungi and bacteria can activate genes associated with head and neck tumours, as the metabolism of biofilms (communities in which these microorganisms self-organize in a structured and coordinated [...]
