Researchers Reveal What Makes The Heart 'Tick-Tock'

Researchers have new evidence to show that the heart beats to its own drummer, according to a report in the December issue of the journal Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press publication. They've uncovered some of the molecular circuitry within the cardiovascular system itself that controls the daily rise and fall of blood pressure and heart rate. The findings might also explain why commonly used diabetes drugs come with cardiovascular benefits, according to the researchers.

Secreted Protein Sends Signal That Fat Is On The Way

After you eat a burger and fries or other fat-filled meal, a protein produced by the liver may send a signal that fat is on the way, suggests a report in the December issue of the journal Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press publication. Researchers have found in mice that the liver produces a protein called adropin, which rises in response to high-fat foods and falls after fasting.

Lack Of Vitamin D Could Spell Heart Trouble

Vitamin D deficiency - which is traditionally associated with bone and muscle weakness - may also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Master Gene Plays Key Role In Blood Sugar Levels

When mice that lack steroid receptor-2 (SRC-2) - a master regulator gene called a coactivator - fast for a day, their blood sugar levels plummet. If they go another day without food, they will die. The severity of the hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) was unexpected, said Dr. Bert W. O'Malley, chair of molecular and cellular biology at Baylor College of Medicine and senior author of the report on the study that appears in the current issue of the journal Science.
