Blotta åsynen eller lukten av mat startar en komplex kedja av händelser som bland annat leder till att saliv- och insulinutsöndringen ökar. Nu har forskare upptäckt en genmutation som försämrar kroppens insulinsvar på en frestande och väldoftande måltid. Mekanismen bakom ökad saliv- och insulinutsöndring styrs av det parasympatiska nervsystemet, det vill säga funktioner som regleras av nerver men

Höga blodfetter ökar i regel kolesterolvärdena i blodet vilket i sin tur ökar risken för åderförkalkning och hjärtinfarkt. Nu visar en ny studie vid Lunds universitet att smör ger en betydligt lägre blodfettshöjning efter en måltid jämfört med olivolja. Skillnaden var tydlig hos framförallt män, medan den hos kvinnor var mer marginell. Den främsta förklaringen till smörets relativt låga blodfettss

Barn till invandrare från länder med låg risk för typ 1 diabetes drabbas oftare än förväntat av sjukdomen om de växer upp i högrisklandet Sverige. Något i den svenska miljön ligger bakom, menar forskarna. Ahmed Delli, forskare på Lunds Universitets Diabetescenter, har kartlagt vad som händer när ett barn flyttar från ett område med låg risk för typ 1 diabetes till ett område med hög risk som Sveri

Nicholas Leigh came from the United States to Sweden and Lund University four years ago to study salamanders and how they can regenerate everything from legs, tails and even parts of the heart. In addition to his research, he has also been advocating for more inclusive research environments. It was the ability of moose to grow new antlers after shedding that first sparked Nicholas Leigh’s interest

Leukemia stem cells have a clever survival strategy, they evade the body's immune defenses, making the disease difficult to treat. In a recent study in mice published in Haematologica, researchers at Lund University identified a gene that helps these cells avoid detection by natural killer (NK) cells—the immune system’s frontline defense. Each year in Sweden, around 350 adults are diagnosed with a

In a newly published study in Nature Communications, Emma Hammarlund and her research team at Lund University detail how daily fluctuations in oxygen levels influenced the rise of animal life. Their findings offer new insights as to how dramatic daily shifts in oxygen availability and stress may have played a central role in the evolution of complex organisms on Earth. “Now, when we explore animal

Blodsockerkontrollen både förbättrades och stabiliserades när diabetessjuka möss behandlades med hormonet leptin istället för med insulin. Forskarna bakom upptäckten hoppas att detsamma gäller för människor. - Insulinbehandling är för många såväl otillräcklig för en bra blodsockerkontroll som betungande med kraftiga sockersvängningar och symtom.
