Brown fat is not linked to cancer-associated loss of body weight and muscle mass, a common condition known as cachexia, according to a new joint study from The Rockefeller University and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
A new computational study in a mouse model finds biological sex and time of day makes a difference in the effectiveness of diuretics—medications commonly prescribed to manage high blood pressure. The study is published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology.
What are scientists learning about long COVID? Does climate change affect our physiology? These questions and more will be addressed during eight exciting game-changer sessions at the American Physiology Summit.
A supervised, eight-week exercise program improved symptoms of patients with long COVID better than the current standard self-managed rehabilitation recommendations. The study is published ahead of print in the Journal of Applied Physiology and was chosen as an APSselect article for February.
The drug lasmiditan, which is used to treat migraines, shows promise as a possible treatment for acute kidney injury, according to a new study from the University of Arizona.
A first-of-its-kind study finds a natural coconut sugar may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by improving blood vessel health and managing high blood pressure. The study is published ahead of print in the Journal of Applied Physiology.
Press registration is now open for the American Physiology Summit, the flagship annual meeting of the American Physiological Society (APS) to be held April 20–23, 2023, in Long Beach, California.
Research in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity found greater disruption to genes involved in heart function when coupled with vitamin A deficiency. The study is published in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology. It was chosen as an APSselect article for January.
A first-of-its-kind study identifies mechanisms that explain how a drug commonly used to treat HIV and hepatitis causes kidney disease and kidney injury. The study is published ahead of print in Function.
Babies born to mothers who vape during pregnancy are at greater risk of developing pulmonary dysfunction, according to a new mouse study from The Ohio State University.
A new study in mice showed that a slower heart rate may protect against enlargement of the heart, a condition that could become life-threatening if left untreated. The study is published ahead of print in Function.
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people assigned male at birth are at increased heart health risk. The delivery route of estrogen medication is known to affect heart health risk in cisgender women. However, research is lacking on how estrogen route affects heart health in the TGD population.
A year of aerobic exercise training reduced impedance (effective resistance to blood flow) in the brain blood vessels of older adults, according to a new study.
The American Physiological Society’s (APS) Porter Physiology Development Fellowship, the Society’s flagship diversity program, has been honored with an inaugural Impact Award from the Software & Information Industry Association’s (SIIA) Associations, Media and Publishing (AM&P) Network.
The Society’s Executive Cabinet has announced that Curt D. Sigmund, PhD, FAPS, of the Medical College of Wisconsin, has received the 2023 Walter B. Cannon Award, and Gina L.C. Yosten, PhD, of Saint Louis University, has received the 2023 Henry Pickering Bowditch Award Lecture.
In the latest issue out today, The Physiologist Magazine (TPM) explores the scientific relevance of the body mass index (BMI) tool for assessing health; examines the critical role allyship plays in expanding diversity in physiology; and profiles gastrointestinal physiologist Simon Hirota, PhD, an associate professor at the University of Calgary in Canada.
