Background/objectives: Thus far, no studies have examined the relationship between fruit and vegetable (F and V) intake, urinary metabolite quantities, and weight change. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to explore changes in urinary metabolomic profiles during and after a 10-week weight loss intervention where participants were prescribed a high F and V diet (7 servings daily).
Methods: Adults with overweight and obesity ( = 34) received medical nutrition therapy counselling to increase their F and V intakes to national targets (7 servings a day).
The immune repertoire (IR) is a term that defines the combined unique genetic rearrangements of antigen receptors expressed by B and T lymphocytes. The IR determines the ability of the immune system to identify and respond to foreign antigens while preserving tolerance to host antigens. When immune tolerance is disrupted, development of autoimmune diseases can occur due to the attack of self-antigens.

- The study focuses on Kcoronene, a potassium-intercalated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, detailing its synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties while outlining a computational method to identify suitable PAHs for metal intercalation.
- Coronene was selected based on a screening of its electronic structure and available void space, demonstrating stability when intercalated with three potassium ions per coronene molecule.
- Despite structural changes and disorder caused by potassium intercalation, Kcoronene did not exhibit superconductivity, which contrasts with earlier findings and may be linked to the extensive structural disruption observed.
