While GLP-1 receptor agonists are not cheap, some companies are looking at ways to make them more affordable. Eli Lilly, for example, recently announced that they would be selling vials of Zepbound (for weight loss) and Mounjaro (for type 2 diabetes) directly to consumers, which will half...
There’s fat and there’s belly fat. It’s hard to lose and it takes your health down. That’s why so many reach for injectible GLP-1 drugs. Instead of dangerous side effects, battle the bulge with an alternative that not only fights fat three ways, but supports liver health and lon...
Many ways can be used to remove these including activated carbon, hydrogen peroxide, dialysis and macroporous resin. The activated carbon is the conventional method in the industries. In addition to decolorise and deodorize samples, it can also be used repeatedly. Despite this method being suitable...
Kudos to those companies and industry leaders who continue to look for ways to separate the rule followers from the rule breakers, and who seek meaningful self-regulatory programs coupled with support for government regulatory actions. But I’m concerned t...
Finding ways to reuse byproducts that are rich in nutrients creates positive impacts on the environment and economics. “Most byproducts from food production are now composted, used for energy production, or as animal feed,” says Thierry Lenice, global environmental manager at Di...
There are two ways to obtain cysteine: the entry of exogenous cysteine into the cell through transporters such as alanine-serine-cysteine (ASC) 1 or 2 or via endogenous production through the transsul- furation pathway that transforms methionine into cysteine (Gmünder et al. 1991; Levring ...
Recently, leaves of Aquilaria subintegra and Aquilaria malaccensis were dried using microwaves and were found to increase the yield of bioactive compounds with enhancing antidiabetic activity [66]. In addition to the extraction and antidiabetic study of the phyto bioactive compounds, several phyto ...
In most cases, the polymers are used as a novel carrier for delivering specific drugs to target tissue, and this targeted delivery system aims to increase the efficacy of drugs without reducing off-target effects. In this case, polymers serve as ideal delivery vehicles for multiple therapies due...
Moreover, the increase in polysaccharide concentration is also helpful to scavenge superoxide free radicals. As such, the four polysaccharides have scavenging activity that is maximal at 2.0 mg/mL [50]. LBP also indirectly acts on free radicals by capturing ROS produced during the peroxidative ...
(1) physical activity; (2) obligatory energy expenditure; and (3) adaptive thermogenesis. Most anti-obesity products usually regulate body weight through an increase of obligatory energy expenditure. In the human body, the function of brown adipose tissue is to transfer energy from food into heat...
