Fractionated free fatty acids and their relation to diabetes status after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: A cohort study.

Bariatric surgery is associated with near-immediate remission of type 2 diabetes and recently suggested as a treatment for type 2 diabetes. Specifically, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass has been a focus of much research, but still, the mechanisms of action are only partly elucidated. We aim to investigate whether some mechanisms might be mediated by free fatty acids (FFAs).

Are wild and cultivated flowers served in restaurants or sold by local producers in Denmark safe for the consumer?

New Nordic Food has within the last decade received much media coverage with chefs of top restaurants using wild plants for foods. As part of a control campaign, the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration visited 150 restaurants and local food producers from May-October 2016 and investigated their use of plants picked from the wild, cultivated in private gardens or market gardens. Among the species used were the flowers from 23 plants.

Particle-covered drops in electric fields: drop deformation and surface particle organization.

Drops covered by adsorbed particles are a prominent research topic because they hold promise for a variety of practical applications. Unlocking the enormous potential of particle-laden drops in new material fabrication, for instance, requires understanding how surface particles affect the electrical and deformation properties of drops, as well as developing new routes for particle manipulation at the interface of drops. In this study, we utilized electric fields to experimentally investigate the mechanics of particle-covered silicone oil drops suspended in castor oil, as well as particle assembly at drop surfaces.
