Traditional Asian remedy can help prevent damage caused by a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet

October 26, 2018 -

People who eat a lot of fatty and high cholesterol foods end up having enlarged adipose tissue. This causes an increased production of adipocytokines involved in regulating insulin resistance and lipid metabolism. Adipocytokines can induce insulin resistance by either inhibiting insulin binding or interfering with insulin signaling pathways.

Study confirms long-term consumption of sugary drinks cause liver damage

March 27, 2019 -

Drinking beverages containing artificial sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup and aspartame is associated with the development of metabolic syndrome and obesity. Researchers at Alexandria University and Damanhour University in Egypt hypothesized that inflammatory cytokines play a role in lipid storage and induction of liver injury. They looked at the expression of adipocytokines and its link to liver damage.

To test their hypothesis, rats in the study received water, ...

Black cumin oil combined with a low-calorie diet can modulate hormone secretion in obese women

December 05, 2018 - adipocytokines are molecule secreted by fat cells. These molecules affect the physiology of cells in other parts of the body. For example, some adipokines may influence appetite, fat storage in the body, or systemic inflammation.

In the study, researchers observed 50 obese women who volunteered for the double-blind, placebo-controlled and randomized clinical trial. The women were randomly divided into two groups with 25 members each: the first was given black cumin ...

Study links consumption of high-fructose corn syrup to intestinal tumor growth

June 07, 2021 - adipocytokines (hormones secreted by fat cells) and steroid hormones. However, the influence of these proposed mechanisms still remains to be fully explored.

Another thing that is unclear about all this is if heavily sweetened products -- the main culprits behind obesity -- directly promote colorectal cancer development. To remove obesity and the metabolic syndrome as confounding factors, the researchers mimicked the consumption of sugar-laden drinks in mice that have ...
