That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in a environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are better than researchers had expected. This is shown in a new study from Lund University. The EAT–Lancet diet is a global dietary guideline developed to promote both human health

A growing body of research shows that diabetes can be stratified into five different subgroups. Researchers at Lund University have now investigated whether a person’s genetic predisposition to different diabetes subgroups can help assess the risk of developing coronary artery disease. The team created genetic risk scores and found that the scores for one subgroup could predict coronary artery dis

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have carried out the most detailed mapping to date of the epigenome in the cells that regulate the body’s blood sugar levels. The study, published in Nature Metabolism, shows how chemical changes to DNA affect both insulin-producing beta cells and glucagon-producing alpha cells – and how these patterns change in type 2 diabetes. All cells in the body have t

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new experimental and clinical study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the sleep hormone melatonin impairs insulin secretion in people with a common gene variant.

“This could explain why the risk of type 2 diabetes is greater among, for instance, overnight workers or people with sleeping disorders”, says Pro

Obesity is commonly diagnosed using BMI, but this approach has several limitations. Researchers at Lund University and AstraZeneca show that integrating measurements such as body fat percentage and waist circumference captures disease risks missed by BMI alone. In recent years, research has shown that there are several limitations with BMI alone when it comes to assessing adiposity quantity, distr

Studies of fat cells can help increase the knowledge of how weight loss treatments affect individuals with obesity. But fat cells are difficult to study because they are fragile and prone to break easily. Diabetes researcher Karin Stenkula receives a new grant for a project which will use new technique to study how fat cells are affected in connection with weight loss. Diabetes researcher Karin St
