The purpose of this study was to evaluate the substrate oxidation of three commercially available, 14%-carbohydrate sports drinks with different compositions, osmolality, and pH for their impact on dental exposure to low pH. In a cross-over, randomized double-blinded design, 12 endurance athletes (age 31. 2 ± 7.

The addition of gelling polysaccharides to sport-drinks may provide improved tolerability of drinks with high concentration of digestible carbohydrates (CHO), otherwise known to increase the risk of gastro-intestinal complaints among athletes under prolonged exercise. The physico-chemical properties of a drink containing 14 wt% of digestible CHO (0.7 : 1 fructose and maltodextrin-ratio), 0.

Objective: To develop a high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) method to quantify levonorgestrel (LNG) in serum.

Study Design: Levonorgestrel was extracted using solid phase extraction and measured using liquid chromatography (LC) HRMS.

Results: Low limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 25 pg/mL and low limit of detection (LLOD) was 12.

During polar springtime, active bromine drives ozone, a greenhouse gas, to near-zero levels. Bromine production and emission in the polar regions have so far been assumed to require sunlight. Here, we report measurements of bromocarbons in sea ice, snow, and air during the Antarctic winter that reveal an unexpected new source of organic bromine to the atmosphere during periods of no sunlight.
