Synthesis, crystal structure, characterization and antimicrobial activities of ternary chiral mononuclear Schiff base copper(II) complexes.

[CuL(tmen)] is a sequence of four ternary mononuclear Schiff base copper(II) complexes that are derived from L-valine, suitable 5'-substituted-2'-hydroxyacetophenones (where the substituents are -Cl for L, -Me for L, -OMe for L, and -H for L), and tmen (where tmen-N,N,N',N' tetramethyl ethylenediamine). Without isolating the Schiff base ligand or producing any other intermediate products, all of the complexes were synthesised. These compounds were identified using elemental analysis, molar conductance, UV-Vis, FTIR, EPR, VSM-RT, and CD spectra.

Food order affects blood glucose and insulin levels in women with gestational diabetes.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) poses significant risks to both maternal and fetal health, including a heightened risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in the future. Effective management often involves dietary changes, such as food-order, where vegetables are consumed first, followed by proteins, and then carbohydrates last. This study investigates whether food sequence improves glycemic control in women with GDM by slowing carbohydrate absorption, reducing glucose spikes, and enhancing insulin sensitivity.
