A natural sustained-intestinal release formulation of red chili pepper extracted capsaicinoids (Capsifen®) safely modulates energy balance and endurance performance: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

Introduction: Overweight and obesity are major public health concerns, with a sharp increase in prevalence over the last few decades. The primary cause is an imbalance between calorie intake and expenditure due to a rise in calorie-rich processed food and reduced physical activity. Energy balance in humans involves complex processes including thermogenesis, a crucial factor in regulating energy expenditure.

Our Experience With Glabrous Skin Grafts for Hand Injuries.

Background: Hand injuries requiring skin cover may utilize skin harvested from the instep of the foot. We present a series of such cases with a follow-up period of 6 months following glabrous skin grafting.

Objectives: To evaluate the aesthetic and functional outcome of using glabrous skin to cover skin defects in the hand.

Brain regional pharmacokinetics following the oral administration of curcumagalactomannosides and its relation to cognitive function.

Objective: Though a number of bioavailable formulations of curcuminoids have been reported and available commercially as nutraceuticals for brain health, systematic informations on their blood-brain-barrier permeability and brain tissue distribution have not been reported. The present study was aimed to investigate the brain regional pharmacokinetics of curcuminoids following both single dose and repeated dose oral administration of a self-emulsifying food-grade formulation of curcuminoids using fenugreek galactomannan hydrogel scaffold as 'curcumagalactomannosides' (CGM), and its influence on cognitive functions in comparison with unformulated natural curcuminoids (NC) in Wistar rats.

Methods: CGM was given to animals in single dose (100 mg curcuminoids/kg b.

Safety and Efficacy of in Functional Dyspepsia: A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Study.

Despite the availability of various synthetic drugs for the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD), the side effects and their cost have always created a great interest in the search for novel natural alternatives for the management of gut disorders. The present contribution reports the safety and efficacy of the kitchen spice asafoetida () in FD for the first time. In the double-blinded, placebo-controlled study, 43 subjects diagnosed to have moderate to severe discomforts of nonulcer FD were randomized to receive hard-shell capsules (250 mg × 2/day) of either placebo (n=22) or a food-grade formulation of asafoetida (Asafin) (n=21) for 30 days.
