A high-fat ketogenic diet may help the body regain some of the benefits of exercise when blood sugar levels are elevated, according to new research that sheds light on how diet and physical activity interact in metabolic health. The study, led by exercise medicine scientist Sarah Lessard at Virginia Tech and published in Nature Communications, found that a ketogenic diet normalised blood sugar levels in mice and improved how their muscles responded to aerobic exercise. Exercise is known to [...]

Scientists have uncovered compelling geological evidence that a powerful extraterrestrial impact struck what is now Brazil around 6.3 million years ago. The discovery was confirmed after researchers identified hundreds of glassy fragments scattered across several Brazilian states. These fragments, known as tektites, are formed when a meteorite or asteroid hits Earth with extreme force, melting surface rocks and ejecting molten material high into the atmosphere before it cools into natural [...]

SAO PAULO, March 13 (Reuters) – Brazilian scientists have identified a new species of giant dinosaur with ties to a similar animal found in ​Spain, reinforcing knowledge that land routes once connected ‌parts of South America, Africa and Europe about 120 million years ago. Named Dasosaurus tocantinensis, the species is one of the biggest found in the South American country and was described this month ‌in ​the Journal of Systematic Palaeontology. The fossils ⁠were [...]

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is known for causing breathing difficulties and limiting everyday activities. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), on the other hand, is usually associated with loud snoring and daytime sleepiness. However, a study published in the journal Scientific Reports shows that having both conditions has an even more profound impact on patients’ muscle strength and quality. “Although it’s generally associated only with lung function, chronic [...]

A newly identified dinosaur fossil from Brazil is offering fresh clues about how ancient animals once moved across continents that are today separated by vast oceans. The remains belong to a previously unknown species of giant long-necked dinosaur that lived around 120 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous period. What makes the discovery particularly significant is its close evolutionary relationship to a dinosaur species discovered in Spain, suggesting that distant regions of the [...]

Hyderabad: Brazilian scientists have discovered a new dinosaur species, named Dasosaurus tocantinensis, in the north-eastern state of Brazil, Maranhão, which lived approximately 120 million years ago. It belongs to the subgroup of sauropods, called titanosauriformes — a lineage that includes some of the largest land vertebrates ever to have existed on Earth. The study was led by Elver Mayer from the Federal University of the São Francisco Valley, and the findings, which were co-authored by [...]

A new scientific study has suggested that a high-fat ketogenic diet could enhance the benefits of exercise in cases where blood sugar levels are elevated, offering fresh insight into how nutrition and physical activity interact to improve metabolic health. According to a report by Science Daily, the research was led by Sarah Lessard, an exercise medicine scientist at Virginia Tech. The study found that a ketogenic diet helped stabilise blood sugar levels in mice and significantly improved [...]

Mental health issues are more common than we realize, with half the world likely to face a mental health challenge at some point in their lives, suggest experts. Mental disorders have many causes, and genetics may play a role, but research on using genetics to guide diagnosis and treatment is still limited. In the largest study of its kind ever conducted and published in the journal Nature, an international consortium of researchers compared common genetic variants in 14 psychiatric [...]

Virginia [US], March 10 (ANI): A new study suggests that eating more fat rather than less could help the body gain greater benefits from exercise when blood sugar levels are high, offering an unexpected perspective on how diet and physical activity work together to support metabolic health. According to Science Daily, the research, led by exercise medicine scientist Sarah Lessard at Virginia Tech, found that a ketogenic diet helped normalise blood sugar levels in mice and significantly [...]
