Metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes appear to share risk factors with and may influence the development of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, according to several reports published in the March 2009 issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
Women with the cluster of cardiovascular risk factors known collectively as the metabolic syndrome appear likely to develop cognitive impairment over a four-year period. Kristine Yaffe, M.D., of the University of California, San Francisco, and the San Francisco Veterans’ Affairs Medical Center, and colleagues assessed 4,895 older women (average age 66.2) who did not have cognitive impairment at the beginning of the study.

Eye conditions linked to obstructive sleep apnea

If a good night’s sleep helps the brain and body perform better, it’s a good guess that sleep problems can cause more than just fatigue. Numerous studies have shown a connection between sleep disorders and medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and metabolic disorders, including the risk of obesity and diabetes mellitus.
In the November issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings, Mayo Clinic researchers outline several interesting associations between sleep disorders and eye disease.

Study showing balance between body clock and energy use in cells points to treatments for diabetes and obesity
by Admin on Tuesday, August 5, 2008 · 0 comments
University of California at Irvine researchers have found a molecular link between circadian rhythms — our own body clock — and metabolism. The discovery reveals new possibilities for the treatment of diabetes, obesity and other related diseases.
Paolo Sassone-Corsi, distinguished professor and chair of Pharmacology, and his colleagues have identified that an essential protein called CLOCK that regulates the body’s circadian rhythms, works in balance with another protein called SIRT1 that modulates how much energy a cell uses.
