Fatty acids aggravate ailments associated with obesity

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

Inflammation of the tissues increases the presence of PAI-1 molecule that increases the risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Molecules called free fatty acids circulating in the blood can directly increase the risk of diseases linked to obesity, according to a study released Wednesday by the journal Science Translational Medicine.

In addition, scientists at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of New York and Southwestern Medical Center at the University of Texas said the study shows why dangerously inflamed fatty tissue in obese individuals.

The tissue inflammation is a normal process whereby the body tries to counteract the infection.

However, this can spin out in cases of obesity and diseases linked to overweight such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and some cancers.

According to scientists, the study clarifies the relationship between these fatty acids and inflammation in a breakthrough that could lead to development of better drugs for the treatment of patients with obesity-related diseases. (more…)

How to regenerate the breast after mastectomy

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

mastectomyAustralian scientists have developed a surgical technique that could allow women suffering from breast cancer regenerate their breasts after a mastectomy, as reported by the Institute of Microsurgery ‘Bernard O’Brien’ of Melbourne (Australia) where he investigates the new technique.

The procedure, which could begin human trials within three to six months, involves inserting a breast-shaped chamber, which contains a sample of adipose tissue of women under the skin of the chest. This infiltration is connected to a blood vessel adipose tissue, allowing this to grow and fill the chamber in an estimated period of six to eight months.

From the center, the operations director, Dr. Phillip Marzelle, said today that it is launching a “test prototype” in the coming months that may be implemented through a “proof of principle” with five or six women, so you can see that the body can regenerate its own supply of fat in the chest.

In addition, plans to build within two years a camera biodegradable dissolved when full. “We have proven in several animal models, so we have made sufficient preclinical testing to be sure now to give way to human trials,” he said. (more…)
