New research at Lund University shows that the biological parents’ genes affect the child's insulin function and capacity to regulate blood sugar levels and blood lipids in different ways. Such knowledge may be used to to develop preventive treatments that reduce the child's risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Previous research by diabetes researcher Rashmi Prasad has sh

Patients suffering from myocardial infarction who receive early add-on lipid-lowering medication have a significantly better prognosis than those who receive add-on treatment late, or not all. Based on the results of a study from Lund University in Sweden, many new heart attacks, strokes and deaths could be prevented. Cardiovascular disease is by far the most common cause of death worldwide, and m

Researchers at Lund University have developed a new method to determine how the composition of proteins in blood changes in response to disease or organ damage. This could provide a deeper understanding of how diseases affect the body and be used to discover new biomarkers in the blood to aid in diagnosing complex medical conditions. Our organs consist of a variety of specific proteins that are vi
