By Rich Haridy For years, observational studies have linked short sleep patterns with obesity, and many scientists suspect it is the sleep irregularities causing metabolic dysfunction and appetite disruptions. New research from the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine and the University of Nevada, Reno, investigating sleep in a laboratory worm model is suggesting...
Researchers from the Department of Pharmacology, Paediatrics and Radiology at the University of Seville, in collaboration with Dr. Rodriguez from the International University of Catalonia, have confirmed that Orujo Olive OIL (POCTA), when introduced into the diet, produces a significant reduction in obesity and vascular and inflammatory complications in obese mice. In addition, given that...
A new study in mice concludes that light-sensitive proteins on fat cells can detect sunlight. It also finds that too little natural light can alter how fat cells behave and may increase the risk of metabolic syndrome. Sunlight may influence fat metabolism, according to a recent study. Throughout the evolution of life on Earth, much...

For those with metabolic syndrome, the necessary lifestyle and weight changes can be challenging. Now, a study has shown that eating within a certain time window can help tackle that. New research shows how intermittent fasting can help ease metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is an umbrella term for a number of risk factors for serious...

New research finds an association between moderate coffee consumption and a reduced risk of developing metabolic syndrome. The reduced risk was observed in both men and women. A class of nutrients called polyphenols may be what gives coffee this health benefit. Experts say that losing weight, not smoking, and getting sufficient exercise are still the...
By Ana Sandoiu Fact checked by Gianna D’Emilio Scientists have now confirmed what they previously tested in mice: the benefits of a bacterium for cardiometabolic health. In a new study, a food supplement containing Akkermansia muciniphila improved metabolic markers in people with prediabetes and at risk of cardiovascular conditions. The term “metabolicsyndrome” describes a cluster...
Suggests new pilot study WEBER SHANDWICK CHICAGO LANSING, Mich. May 7, 2019 – Montmorency tart cherries reduced systolic blood pressure, insulin levels and insulin concentrations in adults with metabolic syndrome participating in a small pilot study published in the Journal of Functional Foods. [1] While previous studies on Montmorency tart cherries have explored individual aspects of metabolic syndrome – such as blood...
MARY ANN LIEBERT, INC./GENETIC ENGINEERING NEWS New Rochelle, NY, April 2, 2019–A new study found a surprisingly high rate of metabolic syndrome among individuals aged 60-100 years. Three easy-to-measure anthropometric indicators were predictive of metabolic syndrome in both men and women and could be useful for indicating the need for preventive care and further testing,...
