Genetic testing for APOE would improve the prediction of atherosclerosis and enable the pursuit of aggressive strategies, said one researcher.

Oral intragastric capsules that expand with water in the stomach showed promising results for weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity.

UNC School of Medicine researcher Sarah Cohen, PhD, and Ian Windham, a former PhD student from the Cohen lab, have made a new discovery about apolipoprotein E (APOE) – the biggest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease.

In recent years there has been a significant interest in the development of innovative lipidomics techniques capable of resolving lipid isomers. To date, methods applied to resolving sn-isomers have resolved only a limited number of species. We report a workflow based on ozone-induced dissociation for untargeted characterisation of hundreds of sn-resolved glycerophospholipid isomers from biological extracts in under 20 min, coupled with an automated data analysis pipeline. It provides an order of magnitude increase in the number of sn-isomer pairs identified as compared to previous reports and...

A retrospective analysis revealed a strong positive link between higher HDL-C levels and the reversal of prediabetes to normoglycemia in Chinese adults up to a certain threshold.
