Researchers find exposure to pesticides in food, air and water increases risk of type 2 diabetes

A study conducted at the University of Granada has revealed that there is a direct relationship between exposure to pesticides (Persistent Organic Pollutants, CPOs) in food, air and water and prevalence of type 2 diabetes in adults, regardless of age, gender and body mass index. These substances tend to concentrate in body fat, and they… Seguir Leyendo Researchers find exposure to pesticides in food, air and water increases risk of type 2 diabetes

Researchers generate mutant mouse model useful in treatment of neuromuscular diseases

Researchers at the University of Granada have produced for the first time in the world mice lacking the coenzyme Q10, a rare mitochondrial disease prevailingly affecting children. The researchers needed three years to complete the study. In three to six months of life, this genetic alteration in mice –similar to that occurred in human– causes… Seguir Leyendo Researchers generate mutant mouse model useful in treatment of neuromuscular diseases

Researchers design new imaging technique for identifying age, sex of a corpse

Picture on the left: horizontal section across the symphysis of the pubis. Picture on the right: sagittal section across the right symphysis surface. Researchers at the University of Granada, Spain, have designed a new computing system that determines the age and sex of a corpse with a reliability of 95%. This system is based on… Seguir Leyendo Researchers design new imaging technique for identifying age, sex of a corpse

Drug abuse impairs sexual performance in men even after rehabilitation

Researchers at the University of Granada, Spain, and Santo Tomas University in Colombia have found that drug abuse negatively affects sexual performance in men even after years of abstinence. This finding contradicts other studies reporting that men spontaneously recovered their normal sexual performance at three weeks after quitting substance abuse. The results of this study… Seguir Leyendo Drug abuse impairs sexual performance in men even after rehabilitation
