A high-fat diet does more than overload the liver with fat. New research from MIT shows that prolonged exposure to fatty foods can push liver cells into a survival mode that quietly raises the risk of cancer.
Researchers find high-fat diets set off metabolic dysfunction in cells, leading to weight gain, but these effects can be reversed by treatment with an antioxidant.
Researchers fed separate groups of young and old rats the high-fat diet for three days or for three months to compare how quickly changes happen in the brain versus the rest of the body when eating an unhealthy diet.
The study, led by Patrizia Casaccia, founding director of the Advanced Science Research Centre at the CUNY Graduate Center's (CUNY ASRC) Neuroscience Initiative and Einstein Professor of Biology and Biochemistry at the CUNY Graduate Centre, investigated how enzymes known as ceramide synthase
The efficacy of a medication to prevent liver fat accumulation--a condition that frequently coexists with obesity and can result in dangerous fatty liver disease--has been further explored by researchers at the University of Oklahoma.
Everyone understands the significance of eating a nutritious diet, particularly while pregnant. The metabolism is drastically impacted by a high-fat diet. Obesity, diabetes, chronic liver disease, and perhaps even cancer can result from it. Previous studies have shown that eating a lot of fa
Eating a lot of fat raises the risk of metabolic disorders, but the mechanisms involved in the problem are not well understood. Now, biologists at the University of California, Irvine have made an important discovery about how to protect against the negative effects of a high-fat diet
The study, conducted at MU's Roy Blunt NextGen Precision Health Building, identified the western diet-induced microbial and metabolic contributors to liver disease, advancing our understanding of the gut-liver axis and, as a result, the development of dietary and microbial interventions for
A new study from the University of Missouri School of Medicine has found a correlation between high-fat, high-sugar Western diets and the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, the main cause of chronic liver disease.
Regularly eating a high fat/calorie diet could reduce the brain's ability to regulate calorie intake. New research in rats found that after short periods of being fed a high fat/high calorie diet, the brain adapts to react to what is being ingested and reduces the amount of food eaten to bal
