Functionalized mesoporous materials have become a promising carrier for enzyme immobilization. In this study, Santa Barbara Amorphous 15 (SBA-15) was modified by N-aminoethyl-γ-aminopropyl trimethoxy (R). R-SBA-15 was employed to purify and immobilize recombinant β-glucosidase from Terrabacter ginsenosidimutans (BgpA) in one step for the first time.

- This study investigates how being familiar with a dining partner affects energy intake and gut hormone levels in lean and overweight young males.
- It involved 56 participants (28 lean, 28 overweight) who were observed while eating a test meal with either friends or strangers of similar weight, with hidden cameras used to record their behavior.
- Results showed that overweight individuals ate more and had different gut hormone concentrations when with friends compared to strangers, highlighting the impact of familiarity on eating habits and hormone response in this group.
Objective: To examine the effect of levothyroxine (L-T4), vitamin E or both on oxidative stress status and hippocampal apoptosis in a propylthiouracil (PTU)-induced hypothyroid rat model.
Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups: Control, PTU+PTU+L-T4+PTU+Vit E, PTU+Vit E+L-T4. In each group we assessed levels of serum triiodothyronine (T3), tetraiodothyronine (T4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), hippocampus cellular apoptosis index (AI), hippocampus nicotinamide adenine denucleotide hydrogen (NADPH)oxidase and superoxide dismutase (SOD).
