A research project supported by FAPESP and carried out at Harvard University in the United States has identified a set of metabolites that move from the intestine to the liver and then on to the heart, which distributes them throughout the body. These circulating compounds appear to influence how metabolic pathways function within the liver and how sensitive the body is to insulin. The findings point to potential new strategies for treating obesity and type 2 diabetes.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground.

"We believe these deals, within two years based on our health improvements, we will be budget neutral,"

Roughly there's about 300,000 people living with diabetes in Ireland and 90% of that is type two diabetes. And about 10% will be type one.

Roughly there's about 300,000 people living with diabetes in Ireland and 90% of that is type two diabetes. And about 10% will be type one. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system destroys insulin-producing cells, leading to a complete lack of insulin, while Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance, where the body doesn't use insulin effectively, and the pancreas doesn't make enough insulin to compensate.

Women with type 2 diabetes should consider switching their HRT tablets to patches to reduce their risk of potentially fatal blood clots, according to a new study. Researchers have found women with the condition who take an oral form of HRT have double the risk of a pulmonary embolism - when a blood clot blocks an artery in the lung - than those using skin patches. They also have a 21 per cent increased risk of heart disease, the study revealed.

Recent headlines warning of concerns such as heart risks or danger to teenagers have put a new spotlight on a diet trend that has long been the popular epitome of a healthy lifestyle: intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting's image has been deeply tarnishedand quite rightly so, says Stefan Kabisch, a physician at the endocrinology and metabolic medicine department at ChariteUniversity Medicine Berlin. The hype was never really backed up by good data in humans.

Treatment with henagliflozin is linked to an increase in the length of telomeres, chromosomal caps that shorten over time.

More than half of the calories American adults eat now come from ultraprocessed foods. From breakfast cereals to plant-based burgers and low-fat yogurt, ultraprocessed products dominate grocery aisles and dinner plates. They're cheap, convenient, and often heavily marketed as healthy. But the truth is, these industrial creations are quietly dismantling your body's ability to regulate blood sugar. Type 2 diabetes is no longer a condition that only affects older adults.

There is, however, no pharmacological treatment currently approved to treat hydrocephalus. Additionally, nearly 20 percent of patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus also have type 2 diabetes and take sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors to manage their blood sugar.

"These cases don't appear to be related to fat, so we want to try and understand what's going on. Is it genetics? Or due to how the pancreas has developed?"
