Folate supplementation effects dependent on local fortification policies Posted: 03 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Genetically high homocysteine levels are only associated with increased stroke risk in populations with low overall folate intake, shows a study in The Lancet.

PLA<sub>2</sub> activity increased in temporal lobe epilepsy patients with psychosis Posted: 03 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Study results show that patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and psychosis exhibit increased phospholipase A2 enzyme activity in the brain relative to TLE patients without psychosis.

Lipid profiles ‘more favorable’ in women than men with bipolar disorder Posted: 03 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Women with bipolar disorder have more favourable lipid profiles than men with the mood condition, research shows.

Metformin shows no survival benefit for diabetics with breast cancer Posted: 03 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT The use of metformin by diabetes patients with triple receptor-negative breast cancer does not appear to impact survival, results of a study show.

Circulating sRAGE levels linked to CHD events in Type 2 diabetes Posted: 03 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Higher levels of receptor for advanced glycation end-products predict incident coronary heart disease in people with Type 2 diabetes, report UK researchers.

Vitamin E does not blunt exercise-associated oxidative stress Posted: 02 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Supplementation with vitamin E has no significant effect on the level of oxidative stress and inflammation associated with exercise, study findings suggest.

Omega-3 fatty acids have antifibrillatory effect in PAF Posted: 02 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Long-term fish oil intake may have an antifibrillatory effect in human paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, Australian research suggests.

β-cell function determines bariatric surgery outcome Posted: 02 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Diabetes remission after bariatric surgery seems to be dependent on the degree of β-cell dysfunction present before patients undergo the procedure, suggest researchers.

Osteoprotegerin predicts CAD in asymptomatic Type 2 diabetes Posted: 02 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Elevated levels of the plasma biomarker osteoprotegerin may help predict the presence of coronary artery disease in asymptomatic Type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria, say researchers.

Introducing new UK food legislation could prevent CVD and save NHS millions Posted: 02 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Introducing legislation to reduce dietary salt intake and eliminate trans fats from the food industry could prevent thousands of heart disease cases and make substantial savings for the NHS, UK researchers say.

Degree of chest pain ‘not indicative’ of AMI Posted: 02 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT The degree of a patient's chest pain does not determine their short-term risk for heart attack or death, a study suggests.

Omega-3 fatty acids have antifibrillatory effect in PAF Posted: 02 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Long-term fish oil intake may have an antifibrillatory effect in human paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, Australian research suggests.
