Effects of Capsicum Oleoresin on the Energy Expenditure and Mitochondrial Content of Brown Adipose Tissue in Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet.

Capsicum oleoresin (CO) is a concentrated extract derived from peppers ( L.) containing capsaicin (the active compound responsible for its pungency) and other bioactive components. The present study aimed to determine whether CO affects the energy expenditure and mitochondrial content of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in diet-induced obese mice.

Inhibition of Differentiation of 3T3-L1 Cells by Increasing Glioma-Associated Oncogene Expression in L. Using KCTC 3115.

The inhibitory effect of L. on adipocyte differentiation can be enhanced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation. In this study, we assessed the cellulose resolution, L.

Diagnostic Performance and Safety of Ultrasound-Guided Core Needle Biopsy for Diagnosing Lymphoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Lymphoma arises from transformed lymphoid cells. Although surgical excision biopsy is the standard diagnostic tool for patients with lymphoma, image-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) or core needle biopsy (CNB) is considered an alternative diagnostic option.

Objective: To assess the diagnostic accuracy and safety of ultrasound (US)-guided core needle biopsy (CNB) in patients with lymphoma.

Occurrence and distribution of brominated and fluorinated persistent organic pollutants in surface sediments focusing on industrially affected rivers.

This study investigated legacy persistent organic pollutants, including polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs), and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), as well as their alternatives, in sediments from five major rivers, to assess their contamination status and usage patterns. The concentration levels of ΣPBDEs (median 9.98 ng/g dry weight (dw), mean 190 ng/g dw), ΣHBCDs (median 9.
