Newborns Screened For Risk Of Diabetes

Posted: Wednesday, September 08, 2004

To better understand the condition that affects about 1 million Americans, researchers are screening newborns to identify children most likely to acquire the disease and study them long before they get it. By looking at changes in blood proteins and surveying environmental factors — from breast-feeding to water supply to medications used during pregnancy — they hope to better predict who will get type 1 diabetes and learn what causes it and how to prevent it.

Posted: Thursday, April 22, 2004

The implications of this new information is far reaching for millions, particularly women since, according to the study, young women (under age 45) with type 1 diabetes are highly susceptible to fatal heart disease, despite this focus group’s normal ability to fend off cardiovascular problems. Furthermore, in the study’s 20-39 age group, the risk of cardiovascular death for type 1 diabetics was proved to be more than seven times higher for women and five times higher for men.

Insulin-Producing Cells Found In Fat, Liver & Bone Marrow

Researchers at Houston's Baylor College of Medicine have found insulin-producing cells in the fat, liver and bone marrow of diabetic mice.The source of the insulin-producing cells to be bone marrow, which has been identified as the origin of many different kinds of tissues in recent years. Only a brief three-day period of high blood glucose was sufficient to nudge the cells outside the pancreas to produce insulin.
