Rapid, low-cost, and accurate tests are still required for epidemiological surveillance and healthcare services to monitor and contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Brazilian researchers have contributed to this field’s efforts by creating an electrochemical immunosensor that identifies antibodies against the virus. The innovation is described in an article published in the journal ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering. In search of a novel diagnostic method, the group opted for a [...]

HIGHLIGHTS Reducing protein consumption can help regulate obesity and blood sugar levels. A study was conducted on a group of people who were given a protein deficit diet. The results showed that people who went on a protein deficit diet lost weight. A study has found that reducing consumption of protein can help regulate metabolic syndrome and some of its symptoms such as obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure (hypertension). Metabolic syndrome is known to be a cluster of [...]

According to the study, the amino acid taurine could be employed in anti-aging therapies. Our cells produce potentially toxic by-products known as “free radicals” when they break down the oxygen we breathe and the food we consume each day in order to exist. Some of these molecules carry out important biological functions, but if there are too many of them, the internal cell structures can be harmed, impairing the cells’ ability to function and possibly resulting in chronic [...]

Brown adipose tissue is activated by the cold to release anti-inflammatory compounds. Over 40% of adult Americans are obese, a complicated condition that raises the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and several types of cancer. By creating low-grade chronic inflammation and the buildup of immune cells in insulin-sensitive tissues, obesity is one factor that can contribute to other health issues. Scientists believe that reversing, or “resolving,” this chronic inflammation might [...]

SÃO PAULO, Brazil — A specific nutrient could be the secret ingredient in a new anti-aging therapy. Researchers from the University of São Paulo have discovered that the amino acid taurine can help to combat the aging process. The human body produces potentially toxic byproducts called “free radicals” when cells process oxygen and food. Even though some of these molecules carry out functions essential to the body, too many free radicals can damage the [...]
