  • Caffeine's metabolism varies based on CYP1A2 genotypes, with AC/CC (SLOW) and AA (FAST) genotypes affecting exercise performance and cognitive effects in resistance-trained females.
  • The trial found that FAST genotype individuals performed more leg press repetitions to failure and reported better subjective outcomes after caffeine intake compared to SLOW genotype individuals.
  • Additionally, while both groups generally responded similarly to caffeine, the SLOW group reported dizziness after consumption, indicating differing side effects based on genotype.

Biotransformation of minerals via glycosylation by microorganisms such as yeast and/or probiotics yields nutrients bound to a food matrix, resulting in increased bioavailability. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of glycoprotein matrix-bound zinc (GPM) on absorption compared to inorganic zinc oxide. Sixteen participants ingested 11 mg of zinc as either GPM™ Soy-Free Zinc (GPM, Ashland, Kearny, NJ, USA) or zinc oxide (USP).

Article Synopsis
  • * Conducted at the University of Utah Health, researchers analyzed Skindex-16 scores from 192 patients diagnosed with various AIBD subtypes between 2016 and 2020, assessing disease severity and patient-reported flare status.
  • * Results showed that flare state scores were notably higher, indicating a greater negative effect on skin-related quality of life, and the study also evaluated how well Skindex-16 correlated with medical and patient-reported outcomes.
