Study indicates how resistant starch consumption decreases liver triglycer
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Resistant starch is a nondigestible fibre that ferments in the large intestine and has previously been found to boost metabolism in animal tests. A 4-month randomised controlled experiment in persons with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) found that regularly eating resistant starch

Study sheds light on antibiotic resistance in bacteria
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
Bacteria utilise a number of strategies to combat the treatments meant to kill them. One of the most prevalent of these weapons is ribosome-modifying enzymes. These enzymes are becoming increasingly common, appearing in clinical samples from bacteria with varying drug resistances all over th

Why do killer bacteria affect some people more severely than others
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Group A streptococci are widespread bacteria that can cause strep throat and impetigo, among other problems. However, if the bacteria become invasive, the situation might quickly deteriorate. In this situation, the name may change to killer bacteria or flesh-eating bacteria, and it can cause
