Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between insulin resistance (IR)-related conditions, like type 2 diabetes and obesity, and neuropsychiatric disorders, highlighting the complexity of their co-occurrence as a public health issue.
- Researchers used genome-wide association studies (GWASs) with a large sample size to analyze genetic correlations between these conditions, identifying various genomic regions with significant local correlations.
- The findings suggest that these correlated regions are linked to important biological pathways, indicating potential targets for treatments and a need for an integrated approach to understanding and managing these interconnected health problems.
Recently, a petition was offered to the European Commission calling for an immediate ban on animal testing. Although a Europe-wide moratorium on the use of animals in science is not yet possible, there has been a push by the non-scientific community and politicians for a rapid transition to animal-free innovations. Although there are benefits for both animal welfare and researchers, advances on alternative methods have not progressed enough to be able to replace animal research in the foreseeable future.
