Förespråkarna för hygienhypotesen menar det. Vällevnaden - hög levnadsstandard, välstädade hem utan ohyra, rent vatten och få infektioner - gör att vårt immunförsvar inte utvecklas och då ökar risken att drabbas av autoimmuna sjukdomar, till exempel typ 1 diabetes. Förespråkarna i forskningsprojektet Diabimmune pekar på skillnaden mellan Finland och ryska Karelen. I välståndslandet Finland är före

Salasat, ett mer än hundra år gammalt läkemedel mot smärtor i lederna sänker blodsockret och minskar skadliga blodfetter vid typ 2 diabetes. Forskarna finner resultaten så uppmuntrande att de nu går vidare med en längre och större undersökning. Drogen, som ursprungligen kommer från pilträdets bark, har använts inom

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Blotta åsynen eller lukten av mat startar en komplex kedja av händelser som bland annat leder till att saliv- och insulinutsöndringen ökar. Nu har forskare upptäckt en genmutation som försämrar kroppens insulinsvar på en frestande och väldoftande måltid. Mekanismen bakom ökad saliv- och insulinutsöndring styrs av de

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Höga blodfetter ökar i regel kolesterolvärdena i blodet vilket i sin tur ökar risken för åderförkalkning och hjärtinfarkt. Nu visar en ny studie vid Lunds universitet att smör ger en betydligt lägre blodfettshöjning efter en måltid jämfört med olivolja. Skillnaden var tydlig hos framförallt män, medan den hos kvinno

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Barn till invandrare från länder med låg risk för typ 1 diabetes drabbas oftare än förväntat av sjukdomen om de växer upp i högrisklandet Sverige. Något i den svenska miljön ligger bakom, menar forskarna. Ahmed Delli, forskare på Lunds Universitets Diabetescenter, har kartlagt vad som händer när ett barn flyttar frå

Farming practices have the potential to slow climate change by pulling carbon from the air and store it in the soil. A new study from LUCSUS has identified seven ways in which farmers can increase carbon sequestration. It also found that woody perennials took up more than annual crops, suggesting that winegrowing could be particularly favorable for carbon soil storage. – What can farmers do to hel
