Capturing planets in the act of losing their atmospheres provides rare opportunities to probe their evolution history. This analysis has been enabled by observations of the helium triplet at 10,833 angstrom, but past studies have focused on the narrow time window right around the planet's optical transit. We monitored the hot Jupiter HAT-P-32 b using high-resolution spectroscopy from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope covering the planet's full orbit.

- Plasma fatty acids (FAs) play a role in cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome, and this study examines their relationship with fruit and vegetable (F&V) consumption.
- A cross-sectional study of 240 participants from the PREDIMED-Plus study categorizes individuals based on their F&V and fat intake, analyzing plasma FAs using gas chromatography.
- High F&V consumption is linked to lower levels of plasma saturated FAs, particularly in those with high fat intake, indicating that F&V may influence plasma FAs differently depending on fat consumption levels.
It remains unclear whether caffeinated beverages could have deleterious renal effects in elderly population with underlying comorbid conditions. We investigated the associations between coffee, tea, or caffeine intake and 1-year changes in glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in a large Spanish cohort of overweight/obese elderly with metabolic syndrome (MetS). This prospective analysis includes 5851 overweight/obese adults (55-75 years) with MetS from the PREDIMED-Plus study.
