Whey proteins have anti-fatigue activity, but there are few studies that have reported the ameliorative effects of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) oligopeptides from whey proteins on fatigue in mice. The purposes of this study were to establish a process for the preparation of BCAA oligopeptides from whey protein and to investigate the anti-fatigue activity of BCAA oligopeptides. Whey proteins were hydrolyzed by trypsin and flavourzyme and purified by ethanol precipitation and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC).

We recruited 219 subjects with different degrees of myopia for best corrected visual acuity, computer refraction, intraocular pressure, axial length (AL), optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging, and other examinations. Central macular retinal thickness (CRT), subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), nasal retinal thickness (NRT), temporal retinal thickness (TRT), nasal choroidal thickness (NCT) and temporal choroidal thickness (TCT) were measured by optical coherence tomography.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAim: The purpose of this work was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of pyrazole derivatives (21a - i and 23a - o) synthesized.
Materials & Methods: The pyrazole derivatives were synthesized, molecular docked and tested for their antimicrobial activity, cytotoxicity, and hemolysis rate.
Results: Most of the target compounds showed high selective inhibitory activity against multi-drug resistance compared with other strains.
Article Synopsis
- Plasmonic nanoparticle-based chiral materials utilize strong light-matter interaction and tunable resonance frequencies but face challenges in dynamic modulation of their chiroptical properties.
- Researchers created chiral assemblies using gold nanospheres (AuNSs) through mechanical-induced surface buckling, resulting in a unique "S-shaped" 3D structure that enhances circular dichroism (CD) responses.
- This method allows for reversible adjustments in CD signal magnitude and handedness, presenting opportunities for advanced applications in information encryption and paving the way for new design strategies in chiral optical materials.
Purpose: Treatment for advanced gallbladder cancer (GBC) remains controversial, with various recommendations regarding the choice and combination of surgery and adjuvant therapy. The present article is targeting for the exploration of optimal treatment models for advanced GBC.
Methods: AJCC (American Joint Committee on Cancer, 8th edition) stage III and stage IV GBC, were defined as advanced GBC.
