Exercise for Fatty Liver Disease

24.03.2024

Scientists from the University of Tsukuba have presented new evidence on how exercise may help treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This disease is considered one of the most common throughout the world, affecting almost a quarter of the world's population.

In NAFLD, fat accumulates in liver cells, which can lead to inflammation, cirrhosis, and liver failure. Research has shown that exercise has a positive effect on liver health.

This disease is usually associated with an unhealthy lifestyle, where a person eats too much food and leads a sedentary lifestyle. In Japan, NAFLD is diagnosed in 41% of middle-aged men, and 25% have non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which leads to liver dysfunction.

Losing weight is key in the fight against NAFLD. However, losing weight on your own can be difficult and, over time, almost impossible.

Previously, exercise was seen more as an addition to weight loss diets, but studies have shown that it can also reduce fat changes and increase organ flexibility, which has beneficial effects on health.

Experiments have shown that exercise can maintain muscle mass while reducing body mass and fat. Using ultrasound elastography, it was found that regular training reduces liver steatosis by 9,5%, organ stiffness by 6,8% and fibrosis by 16,4% compared with simple weight loss.

Exercise is an important and effective method of combating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Including them in a regular training program can significantly improve liver health and prevent the development of serious complications.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Apples won't turn brown 29.01.2017

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has authorized the sale of genetically modified apples developed by the Canadian company Okanagan Specialty Fruits.

Transgenic Arctic apples have one interesting feature - they do not darken from cuts or bites. Contrary to prejudices, this does not mean at all that they do not contain iron! Apples contain antioxidants, thanks to which these fruits are considered so useful for our body - for example, polyphenols. Apples also contain the enzyme polyphenol oxidase, which is needed to oxidize polyphenols.

In order for these two substances to begin to interact, oxygen is needed from the air. If you cut or bite off an apple, a chemical oxidation reaction of polyphenols begins and the flesh becomes covered with a brown coating. In fact, it protects the fruit from parasites and microorganisms for which such an apple becomes unattractive. Genetically modified Canadian apples of the "Arctic" variety are spared this feature.

Thanks to the efforts of Canadian scientists, transgenic apples do not oxidize antioxidants and do not darken for up to three weeks. Canadians have already grown 85 thousand fruit trees, and by 2018 their number is planned to increase to 500 thousand. Now the fruits are finally on sale in several supermarkets across the US, and the creators promise that Artic will be cheaper than the usual varieties of apples.
