Post-traumatic stress disorder linked to higher blood insulin
PTSD symptoms are linked to higher blood insulin levels, a study by researchers from the University of Silesia shows. This may be the first step to insulin resistance and then diabetes. Early detection and treatment of PTSD may therefore be a way to avoid other serious health problems in the future.

Polish researchers investigate whether low lipoprotein increases risk of diabetes
Polish scientists have taken a step towards explaining the mysterious relationship between low lipoprotein (a) circulating in the blood and an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Although numerous observational studies have long suggested the existence of this relationship, no one has previously been able to explain the mechanisms behind it.

Double-stranded RNA does not always mean inflammation. New look at immunity
Until now, the consensus was that any effective cellular response to dsRNA would inevitably lead to inflammation. However, research conducted by a team of scientists, including researchers from the University of Warsaw, has shown that that the matter is much more complicated. Cells can respond to threats without triggering an inflammatory reaction.

Study: Wolves prefer wild ungulates to cattle and horses
Despite the presence of several thousand free-grazing cows and several hundred horses in the Warta River Mouth area, wolves prey there primarily on wild mammal species, scientists from the Faculty of Biology of the University of Warsaw have shown. According to the researchers, this due to the way the livestock is grazed and the fact that cows are not dehorned.
