High GI Carbs Give Rise To Fatty Livers
A new US study on mice suggests that a diet rich in carbohydrates with a high glycemic index (GI) not only expands waistlines but may also lead to fatty liver, a condition that results in liver failure and death.The study is published in the September issue of the journal Obesity and is the work of Dr David Ludwig, director of the Optimal Weight for Life program at Children's Hospital Boston, and colleagues.
Gene-Chip Technology Finds New Leads In Treating Lung Disease Of Premature Newborns
Some 20 to 40 percent of extremely premature infants suffer abnormal lung development leading to bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a chronic lung disease that can cause long-term breathing problems. Little is known about how to predict whether a premature infant will develop BPD in the weeks after birth, much less how to prevent or treat it. Now, gene-chip studies of these tiny babies' umbilical cords provide unexpected, much-needed leads into predicting and treating this debilitating condition.
