Just as we hit July, there were many papers published on topics varying between physiological effects of particular nutrients of our body, how exercise promotes quality of breast milk and why arteries age. Here are the highlights:
The Gut Shields the Liver from Fructose-Induced DamageAfter one consumes food or a beverage containing fructose, the gastrointestinal system, or gut, helps to shield the liver from damage by breaking down the sugar before it reaches the liver, according to a new multi-center study. However, the consumption of too much fructose -- particularly in a short period of time -- can overwhelm the gut, causing fructose to 'spill over' into the liver, where it wreaks havoc and causes fatty liver, researchers discovered.

They showed that vaccinated obese mice had improved glucose tolerance and insulin resistance without showing severe adverse events. These findings could help develop a novel therapeutic tool.

But new research shows that a metabolic byproduct, called TMAO, produced in the process can be harmful to the lining of arteries, making them age faster.
