...that statins could reduce their risk of having a first heart attack by 45% to 47%. If more studies like these confirm the drugs' beneficial role in reducing cholesterol, inflammation and heart disease, doctors may someday consider advising otherwise healthy people to lower their levels of cholesterol and inflammatory protein markers below currently accepted limits - whether they make lifestyle changes or use medications such as statins...
Pancreatic cancer could also cause protein loss during the digestive process, Lustig says, which would suggest a recurrence of the malignant tumor that Jobs battled 2004. It is unlikely, however, that Jobs' original cancer has spread, Lustig says. Since pancreatic cancer is so swift and deadly, "We have to assume he was cured of that," Lustig says. "If he weren't, he would have been dead years ago." But having developed one endocrine tumor increases the patient's risk for developing a second...
Another explanation for a protein deficiency is that the body is simply not producing enough of them - a symptom of conditions including hypothyroidism, in which the body underproduces necessary hormones, or Cushing's syndrome, Lustig says. But both conditions cause weight gain, not loss. Another possible cause is celiac disease, in which a gluten intolerance diminishes the body's ability to absorb nutrients, but that's a digestive order, not the result of a hormone imbalance, Lustig says. What's more, almost none of the hypothesized disorders involving hormone imbalance and protein deficiency can be treated with a basic change...
...really obligated to chose between a low-glycemic diet and a high-fiber diet. There are benefits to combining them, for everyone." In other words, the bottom line is the same as it's always been: Eating a well-balanced diet - with enough fruits, veggies and low-fat protein, and restricting excess fat, sugar and processed foods - is probably the smartest choice for anyone, whether or not you have diabetes...
...Hasaan is specifically targeting the gp63 protein in visceral leishmaniasis, an infection in which a parasite lives inside cells of the human immune system. The protein helps protect the parasite from immune attack and is expressed on the surface of the cells...
