Långsiktig viktuppgång kan i vissa fall förklaras av nedsatt förmåga att omsätta fett, visar en ny studie från Karolinska Institutet som publiceras i den ansedda tidskriften Cell Metabolism. Känsliga individer kan behöva mer intensiva livsstilsförändringar för att undvika övervikt och typ 2-diabetes, menar forskarna som nu utvecklar en metod för att mäta förmågan till fettnedbrytning. Forskare har

Genom ett enkelt, billigt test på fem minuter kan man få en första indikation om ett barn har ADHD. Det visar nu en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet som kopplar de förändringar som finns i lillhjärnan vid ADHD, till ett test med finger-tapping. Testet kan användas som ett komplement till nuvarande diagnostiska metoder. ADHD anses vara den vanligaste neuropsykiatriska störningen i världen. Under
