Anthocyanins (ANCs) are water-soluble pigments with antioxidant properties, offering potential as alternatives to synthetic food colorants. However, their stability is compromised by factors such as pH, temperature, and light exposure. Previous research demonstrated improved pH stability in black grape ANCs through cobalt ion (Co) complexation.

Therefore, the binding affinities of individual and combined drugs were examined using in silico and protein-protein interaction studies, targeting NF-κB, Cyclin D1, p-AKT, and VEGF1 proteins. The findings manifested remarkable affinities for combinatorial drugs compared to individual compounds.

- Advances in technology now allow for patient-centered health data sharing through smartphones and wearables, although many existing Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) systems are not well-integrated with hospital IT systems.
- The study aimed to create a secure and user-friendly RPM system using widely available devices like the Apple Watch, while also assessing patient acceptance factors.
- The RPM system was developed through focus groups and tested over 12 months in a study for Dilated Cardiomyopathy, measuring usability and data interaction, with analysis based on various patient demographics.
Anthocyanins (ANCs) are water-soluble pigments that are useful as nutraceuticals due to their health benefits. This study was performed to evaluate the storage stability of purified and crude red grape ANCs in Raha Sweet (RS) during storage and to evaluate its sensory properties. ANCs were extracted from red grape pomace and purified with a macroporous resin.

Objectives: The study objective was to evaluate postprandial glycemia (PPG), appetite, and food intake (FI) at meals with potatoes or rice when consumed with either meatballs or their vegetarian substitute.
Methods: In a randomized, single-blinded, crossover design, 26 (13 males and 13 females) healthy adults (age: 18-45 y; body mass index [kg/m]: 18.
