Mathematical Models Of Energy Homeostasis
To tackle diabetes and obesity, clinicians are now turning to mechanism-based mathematical models to reach quantitative diagnoses of insulin resistance, glucose intolerance and obesity, and to predict the likely outcomes of therapeutic interventions. A massive range of such models is available, which renders a judicious choice difficult.

Men With Diabetes Have More Damaged Sperm DNA
Conference delegates in Spain yesterday heard about new research from Ireland that found diabetes in men had a direct effect on male fertility because of higher damage to sperm DNA. The study was the work of Dr Con Mallidis from Queen's University, Belfast, and colleagues, and was presented at the 24th annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology that finished yesterday, 9th July, in Barcelona.

New Call For Research Into Diabetes Complications
Diabetes UK is asking researchers to put forward proposals looking at 'novel interventions for the complications of diabetes.' This will form a crucial part of Diabetes UK's plan to invest a record £7.38m in 2008 to develop better treatments and prevention strategies, and ultimately to find a cure for diabetes. In particular, we plan to fund studies looking at new ways to prevent, halt, or reverse the complications associated with diabetes.

Islet Transplantation Study For Type 1 Diabetes
The University of Illinois at Chicago is one of 11 centers in the United States, Canada, Sweden and Norway to participate in the Clinical Islet Transplant Consortium funded by the National Institutes of Health. Consortium researchers have begun clinical studies to test new approaches to islet transplantation that may lead to improved outcomes and fewer side effects for adults with difficult-to-control type 1 diabetes.

Trans-Fatty Acids And Insulin Sensitivity
Trans-fatty acids have been the topic of a lot of negative health news, but in the July Journal of Lipid Research, a dietary study in rats suggests that trans-fats do not increase the risk of insulin resistance and diabetes, which may ease at least one area of concern.

Liver Protein Associated With Type 2 Diabetes In Older Adults
The presence of a protein expressed by the liver which inhibits insulin action may identify individuals more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, according to a new study led by a researcher from the UCSD School of Medicine, to be published July 9 in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA.) Researchers led by Joachim H. Ix, M.D., M.A.S.
