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.

Evaluation of the altered enzymatic and pollen activity in sunflower on application of nanoparticles.

Nanoparticles play a significant role in enhancing crop yield and reducing nutrient loss through precise nutrient delivery mechanisms. However, it is imperative to ascertain the specific plant physiology altered by these nanoparticles. This study investigates the effects of green-synthesized nanoparticles, specifically boron nitride and sulphur, on sunflower yield, seed quality, and physiological activities.

Evaluation of a novel anti-oxidant Ubiquinol acetate (EnQ10) for its safety by methods.

Background: As an active form of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), Ubiquinol acetate (EnQ10) is a newly developed, chemically stable, and physiologically active novel antioxidant. In addition to its anti-oxidant properties, CoQ10 is a useful cosmetic agent for human skin.

Purpose: This study goal was to examine the safety of EnQ10 using models instead of animal models.

Porta hepatis in relation to portal vein among Indians.

The porta hepatis / hilum of liver is a transverse fissure located in the inferior surface, where the major vessels and ducts enter or leave the organ. The major structures traversing the porta hepatis are the portal vein, the hepatic artery and the hepatic duct. Porta hepatis is an area of surgical and radiological significance.
