Quantification of Agnuside in Human Plasma with a Novel High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Method and Pharmacokinetic Study.

This study presents a combination of High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and ultraviolet (UV) detection that provides the quantification of agnuside in human plasma specimens. Reverse-phase chromatographic separation was carried out with C18 column (150 mm × 4.6 mm × 5 μm), at 25°C with isocratic elution of the mobile phase containing methanol: 0.

Characterizing cognitive phenotypes and clinical correlates in type 2 diabetes using fuzzy clustering and decision tree analysis.

Cognitive impairment is frequently seen in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), ranging from mild impairment to dementia. However, our knowledge of the specific profiles and risk factors for these different levels of impairment is limited. In this study involving 152 patients with T2DM, cognitive function was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test.

A review of the currently developed analytical methods for the determination of biogenic amines in food products.

Biogenic amines (BAs) are group of substances that are formed from amino acids by decarboxylation or amination and transamination of aldehydes and ketones. They may have either aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic structure. Their quantity determines their effects, optimum amounts are essential for physiological functions, but excess of BAs causes various toxic effects through out human body.
