A recent study published in Scientific Reports elucidated the molecular mechanisms of drug-induced regulation of growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15). GDF15 has emerged as a driver of cachexia ...

Late last year, geneticists made the discovery that morning sickness's most serious presentation, hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), is caused by the hormone GDF15, not human chorionic gonadotropin as ...

The study, published yesterday in Nature, found that the cause of morning sickness is GDF15, a hormone that, when produced by the fetus, triggers vomiting and feelings of nausea. The intensity of ...

Expectant mothers will be thrilled to know that relief for their morning sickness is in the works. According to Fortune, researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of ...

Fejzo and her colleagues recently found that another hormone, GDF15, was the more likely culprit. GDF15 is a component of a normal stress response. However, in their study, the team found that ...

This possible cause, according to a study published Wednesday in the medical journal Nature, is a hormone called GDF15. The amount of GDF15 that a woman has in her blood before and during ...

“What makes the study a major advance is that it goes beyond establishing a correlation between GDF15 and nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, and provides genetic evidence for a potential causal ...

This process leads to the release of fats, which in turn stimulates the release of a hormone called GDF15 from immune cells found in fat tissue. GDF15 then communicates with the brain, resulting ...

“I have this gene, GDF15, which makes you extremely prone to nausea, which is why I was so sick during my pregnancy,” Schumer told Howard Stern on his eponymous radio show. “So, I tried ...

While GDF15’s potential to induce weight loss has been established in preclinical models for a while—drugs that stimulate its receptor, GFRAL, have even made it to clinical trials—this is ...
