#Immune cells in liver drive fatty liver disease, liver cancer Fatty liver disease--alongside fatty liver due to massive alcohol consumption--is caused mainly by excessive consumption of fat
and sugar combined with a lack of exercise or a sedentary life style. This is referred to as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD.
and high sugar combined with lack of excercise a chronic inflammatory response is triggered in the liver tissue in addition.
The researchers found that children who can not express a particular sugar molecule in the small intestine called the Lewis molecule do not become infected by the rotavirus types found in existing vaccines.

The static approach ignores the accumulation of nutrients in the environment and overlooks the dynamic nature of the nutrient cycles Kuosmanen says.

and sugar-sweetened beverages and both are made up of nearly equal amounts of two basic sugars glucose and fructose.
Accumulating evidence suggests that the fructose component of sugar may have a particularly deleterious effect on health explains co-senior author Mark Herman MD of the Division of Endocrinology Diabetes
Fructose is a pervasive presence throughout our foods: high fructose corn syrup for example can be found in everything from processed cookies and sweets to seemingly healthy foods such as yogurt.
Fructose is taken up by the liver as soon as it's ingested and very little of it makes it to peripheral blood where it might be sampled
which senses simple sugars and responds by activating cellular gene expression programs. Observations that fructose potently activates Chrebp in rodent livers

#Skin exposure may contribute to early risk for food allergies Many children may become allergic to peanuts before they first eat them
Early in the process of developing an allergy skin exposure to food allergens contributes to sensitization which means the skin is reactive to an antigen such as peanuts especially by repeated exposure.
In a collaboration among the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute The Mindich Child Health and Development Institute Immunology Institute and Tisch Cancer Institute at The Mount sinai Hospital researchers exposed mice
These findings suggest that skin exposure to food allergens contributes to sensitization to foods in early life.

#Women who eat fried food regularly before conceiving at increased risk of developing gestational diabetes during pregnancy Women who eat fried food regularly before conceiving are increased at risk of developing gestational diabetes during pregnancy,
New research published in Diabetologia (the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes) shows that women who eat fried food regularly before conceiving are increased at risk of developing gestational diabetes during pregnancy.
Recently, frequent consumption of fried foods has been linked to a higher risk of overweight and obesity in two Mediterranean cohorts.
including consumption of fried foods at home and away from home, using a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ.
For fried food consumption, participants were asked"how often do you eat fried food away from home (e g.
French fries, fried chicken, fried fish?""and"how often do you eat food that is fried at home?"
"Both questions had four possible frequency responses: less than once per week, 1-3 times per week, 4-6 times per week, or daily.
The researchers analysed fried food consumption at home and away from home separately, as well as total fried food consumption.
In addition, they asked the participants what kind of frying fat/oils they usually used at home, with the possible responses as follows:
real butter, margarine, vegetable oil, vegetable shortening, or lard. The authors documented 847 incident GDM pregnancies during 10 years of follow-up.
After adjustment for age, parity, dietary and non-dietary factors, the risk ratios for developing GDM among women who consumed total fried foods 1-3, 4-6,
After this, the risk ratios of GDM among women who consumed total fried foods 1-3, 4-6,
"The potential detrimental effects of fried food consumption on GDM risk may result from the modification of foods and frying medium and generation of harmful by-products during the frying process.
leading to an increase in the absorption of oil degradation products by the foods being fried,
"Frying also results in significantly higher levels of dietary advanced glycation end products (AGES), the derivatives of glucose-protein or glucose-lipid interactions.
Moreover, intervention studies with a diet low in AGES have shown significantly improved insulin sensitivity, reduced oxidant stress, and alleviated inflammation."
This may partly explain why we observed a stronger association of GDM risk with fried foods consumed away from home than fried foods consumed at home."

Bacterial protein implicated Eating disorders (ED) such as anorexia nervosa bulimia and binge eating disorder affect approximately 5-10%of the general population
Researchers at Inserm Unit 1073 Nutrition inflammation and dysfunction of the gut-brain axis (Inserm/University of Rouen) have demonstrated the involvement of a protein produced by some intestinal bacteria that may be the source of these disorders.
According to the researchers it may ultimately be possible to correct this mechanism that causes variations in food intake.
The common characteristic of the different forms of ED is dysregulation of food intake which is decreased
Sergueï Fetissov's team in Inserm Joint Research Unit 1073 Nutrition inflammation and dysfunction of the gut-brain axis (Inserm/University of Rouen) led by Pierre Déchelotte studies the relationships
Variations in food intake in the presence of the bacterial proteinto obtain these results the researchers modified the composition of the intestinal flora of mice to study their immunological and behavioural response.
Food intake and level of antibodies against melanotropin in the 1st group of mice which were given mutant E coli bacteria (not producing Clpb) did not change.
In contrast antibody level and food intake did vary in the 2nd group of animals which received E coli producing Clpb protein.
The likely involvement of this bacterial protein in disordered eating behaviour in humans was established by analysing data from 60 patients.
The standardised scale Eating Disorders Inventory-2 was used to diagnose these patients and evaluate of the severity of their disorders based on a questionnaire regarding their behaviour
Furthermore their immunological response determined the development of eating disorders in the direction of anorexia or bulimia.
and open up new perspectives for the diagnosis and specific treatment of eating disorders. Correcting the action of the protein mimicking the satiety hormonewe are presently working to develop a blood test based on detection of the bacterial protein Clpb.
and individualised treatments for eating disorders say Pierre Déchelotte and Sergueï Fetissov authors of this study.
in order to prevent the dysregulation of food intake that it generates. According to our initial observations it would indeed be possible to neutralise this bacterial protein using specific antibodies without affecting the satiety hormone they conclude.
