People with type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease and dying prematurely due to atherosclerosis. A research team at Lund University in Sweden has now identified molecular mechanisms that may explain the increased risk. Their discovery may lead to more accurate treatments for patients with atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes in the future. People with type 2 diabete

A new study from Lund University in Sweden raises questions about the efficacy of bariatric operations involving gastric bypass. The results show that the biggest metabolic changes happened directly after surgery. Just a year after the operation, the concentration of metabolites and fats had returned to almost the same levels as before the procedure.  Previous research has shown that the majority
