What are the effects of zero sugar drinks on dental health?
5 answers
Zero sugar drinks labeled as "sugar-free" or "no added sugar" still contain substantial amounts of sugar and have been found to be equally cariogenic as fruit drinks with added sugar. Sugar-free soft drinks have been found to be less cariogenic and erosive than regular versions, but the strength of the association between sugar-free soft drinks and dental caries is still unclear. Sports drinks, including those labeled as sugar-free, have negative effects on teeth and can lead to tooth decay. The reduction of sugar content in cola drinks has been shown to decrease acid production by bacteria associated with dental caries, suggesting that sugar restriction in drinks can contribute to improved dental health.What are some of the most common clinically tested medicinal plans?
5 answers
Medicinal plants that have been clinically tested include those used in traditional Indian medicine systems such as Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy (AYUSH). These systems of medicine have been officially recognized in India and have a long history of using herbal therapeutics. However, the clinical trial of herbal drugs is challenging due to the large number of medicinal plants available and the need for scientific and clinical validation. While over 20,000 medicinal plants have been identified, only around 7,000-7,500 are currently being used by traditional practitioners. Therefore, more research and clinical trials are needed to determine the safety and effectiveness of these herbal products.What is the diabetics in human?
5 answers
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects human body in terms of physical, psychological and social health. There are three main types of diabetes, namely type I diabetes, type II diabetes and gestational diabetes. Hyperglycemia and oxidative stress are important components for the development of diabetic complications. Natural medicine contains various phytoconstituents such as polysaccharides, alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, flavonoids and tannins which are responsible for management of diabetes mellitus through multiple target mechanism. The chronic metabolic disorder diabetes mellitus is a fast-growing global problem with huge social, health, and economic consequences. It is estimated that in 2010 there were globally 285 million people (approximately 6.4% of the adult population) suffering from this disease. This number is estimated to increase to 430 million in the absence of better control or cure. Diabetes mellitus represents a set of autoimmune, metabolic and genetic disorders that share one major characteristic, hyperglycaemia. Type I diabetes occurs when beta cells, the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas, are destroyed by the immune system. Type 2 diabetes occurs when cells lose their sensitivity to insulin.What are the factors that contribute to the high prevalence of diabetes in India?
5 answers
The high prevalence of diabetes in India can be attributed to several factors. These include the increase in both urban and rural incidence, lack of public awareness about the condition, limited healthcare resources, high cost of care, and subpar treatment outcomes. Additionally, rapid socioeconomic change, urbanization, and industrialization have contributed to the global increase in the diabetes epidemic, with unhealthy eating habits and sedentary lifestyles playing a significant role. Risk factors such as obesity, lack of physical activity, family history of diabetes, and higher education levels have also been identified. Furthermore, the availability and effective use of insulin in the body are major causes of diabetes, and the disease is associated with various co-morbidities, including heart disease, hypertension, and renal dysfunction. It is crucial for India to address these factors by promoting a healthy lifestyle and improving healthcare systems to effectively manage and prevent diabetes.Is there a dose dependent study of flutamide in female rats?
5 answers
There is a dose-dependent study of flutamide in female rats. One study by Reznikov et al. examined the influence of flutamide at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg on the morphofunctional characteristics of ovaries in sexually mature female rats. The study found that flutamide did not promote normalization of the generative function of rat ovaries at this dose. However, another study by Hsu et al. investigated the expression of androgen receptor induced by carbendazim and the antagonistic effect of flutamide in rats. The study showed that flutamide antagonized the androgenic effect of carbendazim on mRNA and protein levels. These findings suggest that the effects of flutamide in female rats may vary depending on the specific context and dose administered.What are the effects of drinking berry juice on inflammation?
5 answers
Drinking berry juice, such as tart cherry juice, goji juice, and wild blueberry juice, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects. Tart cherry juice consumption increased DNA repair activity and decreased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), malondialdehyde (MDA), and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL). Goji juice, both fermented and unfermented, decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines and increased anti-inflammatory cytokines, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH). Berry volatiles from blackberry, black raspberry, blueberry, cranberry, red raspberry, and strawberry also exhibited anti-inflammatory activity by reducing the production of nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Wild blueberry juice consumption showed a trend for lowering systolic blood pressure and increasing nitric oxide production. Berries, including blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries, have been found to reduce inflammation through mechanisms such as reducing NF-κB signaling, down-regulating Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling, and increasing Nrf2.What are the mechanisms by which sugar increases body weight?
4 answers
Sugar increases body weight through various mechanisms. One mechanism is the impact of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) on energy balance and metabolic function. Non-nutritive sweetener (NNS) substitutes are often used to reduce SSB intake, but accumulating evidence suggests that NNS consumption may influence feeding and metabolism through actions on sweet taste receptors, metabolic hormone secretion, cognitive processes, and gut microbiota. Another mechanism is the consumption of fructose-containing added sugars, such as sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup. Experimental studies have identified how fructose causes obesity and diabetes, including the engagement of a "fat switch" and the metabolism of glucose through the polyol pathway. Sugar consumption also affects energy intake control through peripheral and central mechanisms, such as triglycerides, glucocorticoids, adiposity hormone, and the hypothalamus. Overall, the intake of sugar, particularly in liquid form, can disrupt energy balance and promote weight gain.Which is better in Bacillus subtilis or Lactococcus lactis for expressing the insulin?
4 answers
Bacillus subtilis and Lactococcus lactis are both used for expressing insulin. B. subtilis can produce insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) using DAMP4 fusion technology, which allows for the secretion of the fusion protein into the culture medium. The fusion protein can then be purified and cleaved to obtain tag-free recombinant IGF-1 with immunogenic activity. L. lactis, on the other hand, has been engineered to secrete a bioactive single-chain insulin analog, SCI-57, which has been shown to be biologically active and can potentially be used for oral insulin delivery. Both bacteria have advantages and challenges in recombinant protein production. B. subtilis is favored for bulk protein production, while L. lactis may be more suitable for small-scale production.How might the duration of diabetes diagnosis impact management?
4 answers
The duration of diabetes diagnosis can impact management in several ways. Longer duration of diabetes in older adults with type 1 diabetes is associated with a higher likelihood of depression, hypoglycemia unawareness, lower physical function, and greater daily medication use. In patients with type 2 diabetes, longer duration of diabetes is associated with a higher prevalence of vascular complications and lower achievement of glycemic targets. For older patients with long duration of diabetes, treatment goals need to be individualized, taking into account comorbid conditions, life expectancy, and the benefits of glycemic control. Additionally, as the duration of type 2 diabetes increases, there is a greater likelihood of altered lipid metabolism, indicating the need for proper management to prevent cardiovascular complications. Managing diabetes over the duration of the disease can mitigate the negative effects on productivity, but only to a limited extent.What are some of the practical uses of banana peels?
5 answers
Banana peels have several practical uses. They can be used as a feed to increase the growth of earthworms. Banana peels can also be used as a ripening agent for fruits, including bananas themselves. Additionally, banana peels are rich in nutritional content and bioactive compounds, making them suitable for utilization as food additives, supplements, and pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, banana peels can be utilized as a substrate for the production of cellulase enzymes, which have various industrial applications. Lastly, banana peel extracts have antioxidant properties and the capability to attenuate diabetes, making them potentially beneficial for diabetes prevention and management.Does nad affect obesity?
5 answers
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) has been shown to have an effect on obesity. Studies have demonstrated that NAD+ can prevent and treat obesity by improving abnormal food intake patterns induced by high-fat diets and increasing mobility, thereby preventing weight gain from high-calorie intake. Additionally, NAD+ has been linked to the regulation of lipid and glucose metabolism, which are key factors in obesity. Specifically, the NAD+ biosynthetic enzyme nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) plays a role in modulating fat tissue plasticity and systemic glucose homeostasis, and its deficiency in adipose tissue has been shown to protect against high-fat diet-induced obesity. These findings suggest that NAD+ and its related pathways may be potential targets for therapeutic interventions in obesity and its metabolic complications.
