For the second group, protein intake was reduced to 10%. Calorie intake was tailored to each volunteer's baseline energy expenditure. Both groups consumed 4 g of salt per day. 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 [...]

Sao Paulo: Brazilian researchers have found that tissues which specialise in saliva production and secretion can serve as reservoirs for SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing Covid-19, magnifying its infectious potential. Researchers at the University of Sao Paulo (USP) analysed samples from three types of salivary gland obtained during a minimally invasive autopsy procedure performed on 24 patients who died from complications of Covid-19 and discovered that SARS-CoV-2 infects and replicates in the [...]

Sao Paulo: People with dementia, particularly Alzheimer’s disease are at threefold risk of dying as a result of infection by SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind Covid-19, according to a study by Brazilian researchers. The risk is six times greater if they are over 80, found the team at the University of Sao Paulo (USP) and Butantan Institute in partnership with colleagues at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). “We found that all causes of dementia are risk factors for [...]

Rio de Janeiro, Feb 19 | In addition to keeping the mouth moist and protecting us against germs, saliva can also be used for early detection of the risk of developing diseases associated with surplus body fat, a new study suggests. For the findings, published in the journal Nutrition Research, the researchers in Brazil performed a study in which they used the level of uric acid in saliva to predict body fat percentages in teenagers and identify those with surplus fat even if they had no [...]

Stress while driving is a menacing force for the development of cardiovascular disease and sudden cardiac complications such as heart attack (myocardial infarction). A new study by Brazilian researchers points out that cardiac overload due to the stress of driving in heavy traffic can be undermined by listening to instrumental music. The results of the study, which were supported by São Paulo Research Foundation ”FAPESP", are published in the journal Complementary [...]

Sao Paulo: A team of global researchers has discovered that a lipid -- produced in response to cold by brown adipose tissue in the human body -- helps reduce blood sugar. The discovery with the lipid known as 12-HEPE can pave the way for new treatments for diabetes, said the team from Brazil, the US and Germany. The group also observed that a drug used to treat urinary dysfunction increases the amount of 12-HEPE released into the bloodstream in human patients. White adipose tissue, one of [...]

Air pollution is not just responsible for affecting human health, it can also affect the growth of trees, a recent study suggests. The study was published in the journal, ‘Science of the Total Environment’The research, conducted by researchers of a university in Sao Paulo in Brazil, has shown that atmospheric pollutants restrict tree growth and the ecosystem services provided by trees, such as filtering pollution by absorbing airborne metals in their bark, assimilating CO2, [...]

Washington: In a recent study, scientists have discovered that growth hormone (GH) plays an important role when it comes to losing and maintaining weight. According to the research published in the journal Nature Communications, GH stimulates skeletal maturation and linear bone growth, as well as helps maintain tissue and organs throughout life, also acts directly on the brain to conserve energy when the body loses weight. “Growth hormone has been known for decades, but our discovery shows [...]
