Background: Diabetic conditions are associated with alterations in brain functions like memory deficits through processes like synaptic dysfunction in the hippocampus. Administering a combination of silver nanonaringenin and vitamin E appears promising since they are known to prevent diabetes and memory deficits in previous studies, and nanoformulation of naringenin may be one way to improve delivery and bioavailability of naringenin in the brain. This study investigated the effects of co-administering silver nanonaringenin and vitamin E against memory deficits and synaptic dysfunction in the hippocampus of a mice model of high-fat diet and streptozotocin (HS).

Background: Surveys based on capillary blood show that anaemia is rampant in India, but capillary blood haemoglobin (Hb) may not accurately reflect venous blood Hb concentrations. Further, iron deficiency (ID) is thought to be the main cause of anaemia, there are no venous blood-based surveys to confirm this.

Methods: A community-based (urban, slum and rural) cross-sectional, venous blood survey was conducted in eight Indian states to estimate anaemia and ID prevalences from Hb and inflammation-corrected plasma ferritin concentrations in adolescents, adults, and elderly.
