University of Pennsylvania and Syracuse University scientists have discovered that a hindbrain-derived peptide, octadecaneuropeptide (ODN), can suppress appetite and improve glucose regulation without ...

Proteins are life's molecular workhorses, doing everything from turning sunlight into food to fighting viruses. They are ...

The small study of patients at Mount Sinai Hospital has implications for anyone, including military firefighters and families ...

In a groundbreaking study, a research team at KAIST has uncovered a gut-brain circuit that enables the brain to selectively ...

Exposure to a class of synthetic chemicals known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—often called “forever chemicals”—may increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to a new ...

Cutting a single amino acid from the diet caused rapid, drastic weight loss in mice by converting white fat into calorie-burning brown fat. The study reveals a powerful new mechanism for weight loss ...

The Drosophila microbiome regulates the cycling of gut metabolites in a circadian clock and diet-dependent manner.

Acetyl-branched sugars, although relatively rare, are found in certain natural products with notable bioactivities. Herein, we biochemically investigated the biosynthetic pathway of this rare sugar in ...

A surprising discovery about how brain cells handle sugar could shift how scientists approach dementia and Alzheimer’s treatments. In a new study published in Nature Metabolism, researchers ...

Foods high in protein, fiber, and micronutrients like magnesium—such as beans, lentils and seafood—can help keep your blood sugar stable all day.
