Diabetic Risk in Obesity Delineated by Metabolic Status
The simple anthropometric measure of body mass index does not always reflect the biological effects of excessive body fat on health, thus additional molecular characterizations of obese phenotypes are needed to assess the risk of developing subsequent metabolic conditions at an individual level.

High Cholesterol Linked to Risk of Tendinopathy
People with genetically determined very high cholesterol levels, as in familial hypercholesterolaemia, seem to be at greater risk of tendon pain, but it is not clear if those with lower, but still high levels might also be vulnerable to tendon injuries. More...03 Nov 2015
Blood Metabolites May Serve as Kidney Function Indicators
A nontargeted metabolomics approach in which gas and liquid chromatography were coupled to mass spectrometry was used to quantify 493 small molecules in human serum and relate them to changes in kidney function due to chronic kidney disease. More...19 Oct 2015
Quick Test Minimizes Unnecessary Primary Care Antibiotic Prescribing
C-reactive protein is a biomarker in blood which indicates the presence of inflammation, and the amount of CRP in the body gives an indication of the severity of an infection. Low levels of CRP are indicative of viral or self-limiting bacterial infections, and high levels indicate serious infection. More...19 Oct 2015
