The investment comes from the Federal Government鈥檚 Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF), which the 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice President (Research), Professor Anton Middelberg, says will help researchers in their efforts to improve the lives of those living with and at risk of type 2 diabetes.

鈥淭hese research projects will improve the health of vulnerable 最新糖心Vlogns and lead to medical advancements that will serve the global population,鈥� Professor Middelberg says.

鈥淭he 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is proud to be at the forefront of impactful research. Through projects like these, we address complex medical challenges and provide significant benefits to 最新糖心Vlog and the wider community.鈥�

Associate Professor Tongzhi Wu from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences was awarded $999,733 for a project which will address a major knowledge gap in how low-calorie sweeteners (LCS) in foods and beverages increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.

鈥淟CS are consumed avidly and increasingly in 最新糖心Vlog and around the world, and are widely endorsed as a substitute for added sugar in order to prevent and manage type 2 diabetes,鈥� Associate Professor Wu explains.

鈥淪trikingly, epidemiological evidence indicates that high habitual consumption of LCS is associated with increased risks of type 2 diabetes and death. A clear understanding of the causal impact of LCS on blood glucose control is urgently needed to address this paradox and inform practice and health policy.鈥�

The project will examine the impact of the most widely used LCS聽on glucose metabolism and uncover their mechanisms of action.

鈥淥ur findings聽will inform consumers, health professionals, policy makers, and industry, with a high potential to聽refute the paradigm of advocating LCS use to prevent and manage type 2 diabetes,鈥� Associate Professor Wu says.

Dr Cher-Rin Chong, also from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 Health and Medical Sciences faculty, was awarded $999, 536 for a project which aims to improve cardiac outcomes in people living with diabetes.

Alongside 最新糖心Vlog of Oxford collaborator Associate Professor Betty Raman, Dr Chong will determine the role of microvascular glycocalyx in the development of heart failure in people living with type 2 diabetes, and how it can be treated.

鈥淗eart failure for people living with diabetes is a regular cause of hospitalisation, with no specific treatment available,鈥� Dr Chong says.

鈥淎lthough it has been suggested for many years that development of heart failure in people with diabetes is rare, it is difficult to study this in patients because of other overlapping risk factors.鈥�

Dr Chong hopes the research will inform practices within clinics and establish methods to detect, prevent and treat heart failure in people living with type 2 diabetes.

The MRFF鈥檚 Targeted Translation Research Accelerator 鈥� Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes Mechanisms grants provide researchers with up to $1 million dollars for small-scale development projects to be completed within two years.
