- Researchers examined lentil seed coats for their health benefits, particularly in managing inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs).
- They used both traditional and microwave-assisted extraction methods to obtain extracts, finding the microwave method with ethyl acetate the most effective for anti-inflammatory and spasmolytic activity.
- The study concluded that this extract could support intestinal health, indicating its potential as a dietary supplement to help treat intestinal issues.
Article Synopsis
- - Waste from the agri-food chain, specifically olive oil wastewater, can be transformed into a valuable supplement enriched with hydroxytyrosol (HT), which might help prevent cardiovascular diseases.
- - Although it doesn't significantly change heart and blood vessel functions in "ex vivo" studies, it effectively removes harmful reactive oxygen species and reduces inflammatory markers in "in vitro" tests.
- - The extract also shows potential for lowering arterial stiffness, which could lead to reduced blood pressure and improved heart function, suggesting its dual role in cardiovascular health and infection prevention.
Purpose: The impact of GH/IGF-1 levels on skeletal muscle in acromegaly is still controversial. Temporal (TMT) and masseter muscle (MMT) thickness has been recently demonstrated as a reliable measure of muscle mass. We aimed to investigate the relationship between TMT, MMT and clinical/biochemical characteristics in patients with acromegaly.

- Scientists studied how the brain controls hand movements for grabbing things in both humans and monkeys using special techniques like brain scans.
- They looked at research articles to find out what parts of the brain were active when people and monkeys grabbed objects.
- The study aimed to connect what they learned about brain activity in these tests to real-life brain surgery where doctors need to know how to avoid important areas while operating.
