This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The more sugar we eat, the less vitamins and minerals we consume, new findings from Lund University in Sweden show. However, the researchers behind the study do not believe that their results alone are enough to make changes to current dietary recommendations. High sugar intake has been associated with numerous diseas

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Brunt fett gör oss inte feta. Tvärtom, det bruna fettet omvandlar den överskottsenergi vi får i oss till värme. Nu har forskare upptäckt ett protein som är viktigt för bildandet av det nyttiga bruna fettet. - Brunt fett konsumerar kalorier för att hålla kroppen varm. Brunt fett bränner vitt fett och det bränner gluk

När fiskar från olika miljöer möts är det inte alltid romantik i vattnet. Ny forskning från Lunds universitet visar att aggressiva honor aktivt kan stoppa hanar från ”fel” miljö – ett beteende som i förlängningen kan bidra till att nya arter uppstår. Att förstå hur arter bildas är en av biologins mest grundläggande frågor. I en ny studie har forskare undersökt olika populationer av den säregna mos

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Flera gener som ökar risken för övervikt och fetma är redan kända men nu rapporterar en holländsk forskargrupp att de funnit en smal-gen, en genetisk variant som minskar risken. Ämnet reservatol, som finns bland annat i rött vin, aktiverar smal-genen, åtminstone hos möss. Att genen SIRT1 tilldrar sig allt större int

Economic conditions influence whether and when people choose to have children. A new report from the Swedish government inquiry A Future with Children, led by LUSEM economist Åsa Hansson, shows how financial risks – particularly for women – may be contributing to declining birth rates. Fewer children are being born in Sweden, and economic conditions may play a larger role than previously assumed.
