Studies show too much dopamine could be associated with some cancers, while low dopamine could be associated with Parkinson’s disease and depression.  The new technique developed at UCF requires only a few drops of blood, and results are available in minutes instead of hours because no separate lab is necessary to process the sample.

Breath, not blood: device measures fat burning in exhaled air
Researchers from ETH Zurich have developed a portable measuring device that detects the metabolic marker acetone in breath almost as accurately as a mass spectrometer. It can be used by laypeople and detects when the body starts burning fat when dieting or during exercise.

Thanks to a smartphone app that guides test subjects in real time, the hand-held device can also be used reliably by non-experts.

In future, this should allow diets and therapies for metabolic disorders to be more closely monitored and personalised. (More)
