Combining a low dose of blood pressure medication with a higher intake of dietary-resistant starch might help stave off diabetic kidney disease, according to results from a new animal study. Researchers will present their work this week at the American Physiology Summit.
Study Reveals How Obesity Could Accelerate Aging in the Brain
A new study conducted in mice traces how obesity and a high-fat diet may accelerate aging in the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain. The work is being presented this week at the American Physiology Summit, the flagship annual meeting of the American Physiological Society.
Acetaminophen May Be Less Heart-safe than Previously Thought
The common painkiller acetaminophen was found to alter proteins in the heart tissue when used regularly at moderate doses, according to a new study conducted in mice. Researchers will present their work this week at the American Physiology Summit in Long Beach, California.
Black Men Have Greater Microvascular Dysfunction than White Men after Prostate Cancer Diagnosis
Microvascular function is lower in Black men following a recent diagnosis of prostate cancer, compared to white men.
Regular Exercise Prevents DNA Damage with Aging
Regular aerobic exercise later in life prevents genomic instability characterized by DNA damage and telomere dysfunction
Gymnasts’ Injury Risk Increases on Stiffer Competition Floors
Gymnasts who compete on stiffer floors than their training floors have a higher risk of experiencing an Achilles tendon rupture due to the positioning of their ankles, according to new research from the Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine in New Mexico.
Short On Time? A 15-minute Workout May Help Boost Your Immune System
Exercising at moderate intensity for just 15 minutes may be all that is needed to boost immunity by increasing levels of natural killer (NK) cells. Researchers will present their work this week at the American Physiology Summit in Long Beach, California.
Heavy Alcohol Use May Increase Type 2 Diabetes Risk in Middle-aged Adults
Heavy alcohol use may increase middle-aged adults’ risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, according to research to be presented this week at the American Physiology Summit in Long Beach, California. The Summit is the flagship annual meeting of the American Physiological Society (APS).
Study Bolsters Evidence that Effects of Puberty Blockers Are Reversible
Medications commonly known as puberty blockers were found to delay development of female reproductive organs but allow for restoration of reproductive functioning after the medications were withdrawn, according to a new study being presented this week at the American Physiology Summit.
Intermittent Fasting May Help Preserve Intestinal Health as We Age
A study in mice found that intermittent fasting brought benefits beyond weight loss, suggesting it could help the body better process glucose and reduce age-related declines in intestinal function. Researchers will present their work this week at the American Physiology Summit.
American Physiological Society Announces 2024 Award Recipients
The American Physiological Society (APS) is pleased to announce the recipients of the Society’s most prestigious and highly competitive awards. Awardees will be recognized for their achievements at the American Physiology Summit, APS’ flagship annual meeting, to be held April 4–7, 2024, in Long Beach, California.
Nobel Laureate and NASA Astronaut to Speak at American Physiology Summit
Nobel Laureate Brian Kobilka, MD, and NASA Astronaut Jessica Meir, PhD, are among the highlighted speakers who will attend the American Physiology Summit, the American Physiological Society’s (APS) flagship annual meeting. The Summit will be held April 4–7, 2024, in Long Beach, California.
Study Reveals the Healing Power of Food after a Traumatic Brain Injury
In the first few days after a traumatic brain injury (TBI), food is often an afterthought as clinicians focus on minimizing the damage to the brain.
Childhood Trauma Linked to Reduced Vascular Function and Diminished Sleep Quality
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) contribute to reduced vascular function and diminished sleep quality in young adults, according to a study at the University of Iowa.
Lack of Women as Research Subjects Connected to Lack of Women as Researchers
The underrepresentation of female research subjects has been documented from clinical trials down to sources for cell cultures. Now, researchers out of Marquette University in Milwaukee have found that in exercise research, this inequity correlates with the gender of the researchers conducting the study.
‘Scratch and Sniff’ Test Sheds Light on Depression
A five-minute test commonly used to evaluate olfactory function (sense of smell) could also help doctors screen for depression, according to new research out of King George’s Medical University, India.
Sauna Treatment Lowers Blood Pressure, Improves Vascular Health
Sauna heat therapy reduces blood pressure in middle-aged people, according to researchers at Brigham Young University in Utah.
Cannabis Extract Causes Blood Pressure Drop in Healthy Mice
Repeated use of cannabigerol caused a drop in the blood pressure of healthy mice, according to a new study at Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine.
Passive Stretch before Cardio Protects Blood Vessel Health
New research out of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse finds that passive stretching before a run protected the vascular function of participants.
Sympathetic Neural Responses May Provide Objective Measurement of Pain
Measuring stress activity directed to the blood vessels of muscles could allow researchers to measure pain objectively, according to a new study.
Healing after Muscle Injury Depends on Biological Sex
The time period in which muscles heal after injury may depend on biological sex, and applying personalized treatment may help optimize recovery, according to a new study.
Study of College Athletes Shows that Nutrition and Sleep May Go Hand in Hand
What you eat might influence when you go to sleep, according to a new study of elite female college athletes.
Diabetes Drug Could Aid Recovery from Bouts of Food Insecurity or Anorexia
New research results suggest that the widely used diabetes drug metformin may be beneficial for recovering from short periods of severe food insecurity or anorexia.
Fat Isn’t Necessarily Bad! Full-fat Yogurt Helps Lower Glucose Levels in People with Prediabetes
Researchers from the University of Vermont have found that eating full-fat yogurt on a daily basis may help lower fasting glucose levels in middle-age and older adults with prediabetes.
