Low Vitamin D Levels May Harm Heart Health
Vitamin D is important for bone health, promoting calcium absorption, but studies have increasingly suggested the vitamin may also play an important role in heart health, linking vitamin D deficiency to increased risk for high blood pressure, heart attack and heart disease. More...23 Nov 2015
Early Warning Biomarker Found for Chronic Kidney Disease
A simple blood test for a specific protein can predict a person's chances of developing chronic kidney disease five years before symptoms emerge, thus doing for kidney disease what cholesterol has done for cardiovascular disease. More...18 Nov 2015
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
