In this paper ,the researchers point out that stomach hormone turns hungry people into junkies.When volunteers received a dose of a natural hunger-inducing hormone called ghrelin, their brains responded to pictures of food in the same way that addicted people's brains do to cigarettes or drugs, says Alain Dagher, a neurologist at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, who led the study.
And the study also tell us that hormone has its stimulant effects and Memory improvement,mood changes.

When we are struggling to lose weight, it may seem like new fat keeps showing up again and again!
That impression is half-right. Contrary to the accepted wisdom that humans don't make new fat cells, although one's total number of fat cells may not drop below a certain level, that doesn't mean that we can't add more. Previous research has suggested that under situations where people are consuming a high number of calories, their fat cells may increase in both size and number.
Blocking brain enzyme helped mice stay slim

In this study, the researchers found that blocking a single brain enzyme helped short-circuit a key hunger signal in mice and made them eat less, lose weight and have better blood sugar control. While much more research lies ahead, they said the finding may lead to new treatments for obesity and diabetes in humans.
Non-peptide arginine-vasopressin antagonists: the vaptans
kavin submitted, created time 6 months 6 days (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
Arginine-vasopressin is a hormone that plays an important part in circulatory and water homoeostasis. These drugs are all effective in the treatment of euvolaemic and hypervolaemic hyponatraemia. Conivaptan is a V1a/V2 non-selective vasopressin-receptor antagonist that has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as an intravenous infusion for the inhospital treatment of euvolemic or hypervolemic hyponatremia.
GlaxoSmithKline's customized "red wine" drug potent in mice

LONDON (Reuters) - A drug in development that mimics a health-boosting compound found in red wine may be a powerful weapon in the fight against obesity and diabetes, researchers said on Tuesday.
A study of mice showed that the GlaxoSmithKline drug SRT1720 was about a thousand times more potent than resveratrol in activating an enzyme that helped the animals burn more energy and lower their insulin and glucose levels
Mutations in the telomerase component NHP2 cause the premature aging syndrome dyskeratosis congenita
sea-maid submitted, created time 5 months 4 days (www.pnas.org)
Dyskeratosis congenita is a premature aging syndrome characterized by muco-cutaneous features and a range of other abnormalities, including early greying, dental loss, osteoporosis, and malignancy.
In this study, the author describe the analysis of two other proteins, NHP2 and GAR1, that together with dyskerin and NOP10 are key components of telomerase and small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein (snoRNP) complexes.

A new study suggests that the common weight-loss surgery leads to less weight loss in patients with diabetes.
Beneficial Effects of Subcutaneous Fat Transplantation on Metabolism
sea-maid submitted, created time 6 months 14 hours (www.cellmetabolism.org)
Subcutaneous (SC) and visceral (VIS) obesity are associated with different risks of diabetes and the metabolic syndrome. And from this study, it suggests that SC fat is intrinsically different from VIS fat and produces substances that can act systemically to improve glucose metabolism.
Adherence to Mediterranean diet and risk of developing diabetes: prospective cohort study
sea-maid submitted, created time 5 months 2 weeks (www.bmj.com)
This prospective cohort study shows that high adherence to a diet rich in olive oil, fruit and vegetables, and little meat was associated with an 83% relative risk reduction for developing type 2 diabetes.
Hormone may be markets' master

High testosterone levels in the morning may predict that a male financial trader is more likely to make an unusual profit that day, and levels of the stress hormone cortisol vary depending on market uncertainty, a study of London traders finds.
They're calling it "biological alchemy": induced stem cells proliferate
sea-maid submitted, created time 4 months 2 weeks (www.newscientist.com)
CALL it biological alchemy: specialist pancreatic cells that secrete digestive enzymes have been converted directly into insulin-producing beta cells. Meanwhile, epithelial cells from the back of the eye have been coaxed into becoming a versatile, new type of stem cell.
Both advances, reported last week in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at the annual meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR), may take us closer to a "regenerative" approach to repairing damaged tissue

It’s long been known that oral health is an important indicator for the body’s overall health. Now new research suggests gum disease may predict whether you develop diabetes.
Benign—Not: Unexpected deaths in probiotics study

If acute pancreatitis patients provided nutrition laced with probiotics—supposedly beneficial gut microbes—would experience a death rate nearly triple that of people fed just the nutrients.

Hydrogen sulfide deserves its bad reputation. It's famous for filling the air of high school chemistry labs with the smell of rotten eggs. One strong whiff of the noxious gas can knock you to the ground. Too much can kill you. However, recent discoveries show that in the right proportions, H2S helps regulate several different bodily functions. In fact, we can't live without it.
Licensed to Kill? -----Islet Autoreactive CD8 T-cells in Type 1 Diabetes
jerry submitted, created time 6 months 1 week (diabetes.diabetesjournals.org)
There are something tell us about the notion that type 1 diabetes is a T-cell–mediated autoimmune disease. It is therefore logical for investigators to direct research efforts toward studies of T-cells. And CD8-positive cytotoxic T-cells have been implicated in the disease process.
