The structure of inclusion complexes of gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD), (-)-gallocatechin gallate (GCg), and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) in D(2)O was investigated using several NMR techniques. GCg formed a 1:1 inclusion complex with gamma-CD in which the A and C rings of GCg were inserted deep at the head of the A ring into the gamma-CD cavity from the wide secondary hydroxyl group side. In the 1:1 inclusion complex with GCg and gamma-CD, the GCg moiety maintained a conformation in which the B and B' rings of GCg took both pseudoequatorial positions with respect to the C ring. The structure of the inclusion complex of GCg and gamma-CD obtained from NMR experiments supported well that determined from PM6 semiempirical SCF MO calculations. However, (1)H NMR experiments suggested that EGCg did not form any inclusion complex with gamma-CD in D(2)O. The marked difference between GCg and EGCg in inclusion behavior toward gamma-CD may be explained in terms of the stabilization energy calculated with the PM6 method. .

Association between body composition indices and vascular health: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Article Synopsis
- This systematic review investigates how body composition, particularly skeletal muscle mass, impacts vascular health measures like arterial stiffness and structure.
- Researchers conducted a thorough literature search and included 15 observational studies with over 21,000 participants, assessing various vascular health indices.
- The findings show that higher fat-free mass correlates positively with carotid artery thickness, while body fat percentage is linked to arterial stiffness, indicating a need for further research on specific body composition factors and their health implications.
Nutritional intelligence in the food system: Combining food, health, data and AI expertise.

Queen's University Belfast, Belfast, UK.
Transformative change is needed across the food system to improve health and environmental outcomes. As food, nutrition, environmental and health data are generated beyond human scale, there is an opportunity for technological tools to support multifactorial, integrated, scalable approaches to address the complexities of dietary behaviour change. Responsible technology could act as a mechanistic conduit between research, policy, industry and society, enabling timely, informed decision making and action by all stakeholders across the food system.

Introduction: Shared decision making (SDM) involving adolescents presents unique challenges. To adequately support and evaluate SDM that includes adolescents, parents, and healthcare providers, it is imperative to understand adolescent perspectives. This study aims to describe the perspectives of adolescents with chronic health conditions regarding sharing medical decisions with their parents and healthcare providers.
