This study aimed to identify variation in the minimum biocidal concentration (MBC) over time, comparing three commercial super-oxidized solutions with different chemical compositions. In the bactericidal assay, the following bacteria were tested: (ATCC 25922), (ATCC 27853), (ATCC 25923), and for each ATCC, one wild-type strain was used. experiments were performed in triplicate at 0, 60, and 120 days of follow up.

Objective: We tested whether the concurrence of food intake and elevated concentrations of endogenous melatonin, as occurs with late eating, results in impaired glucose control, in particular in carriers of the type 2 diabetes-associated G allele in the melatonin receptor-1B gene (MTNR1B).

Research Design And Methods: In a Spanish natural late-eating population, a randomized, crossover study was performed. Each participant (n = 845) underwent two evening 2-h 75-g oral glucose tolerance tests following an 8-h fast: an early condition scheduled 4 h prior to habitual bedtime ("early dinner timing") and a late condition scheduled 1 h prior to habitual bedtime ("late dinner timing"), simulating an early and a late dinner timing, respectively.
