A study in the journal Nutrients explored the effects of Lepidium meyenii Walpers (LMW), also known as Maca, on salivary gland damage caused by radiation in mice. Researchers found that mice treated with an LMW extract (LMWE) showed significant improvements compared to an untreated radiation-injury group. Specifically, LMWE treatment reduced the saliva secretion lag time from about 198 seconds in the injured group to as low as 159 seconds. Furthermore, the higher dose of LMWE increased salivary

A recent 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study explored the effects of the probiotic strain Weizmannia coagulans BC99 on symptoms of anxiety and depression. The trial involved 79 participants who received either 3 grams of the BC99 probiotic, containing 5 billion CFUs, or a placebo daily. While both groups saw improvements, the BC99 group experienced a greater reduction in depression and anxiety scores (HAMD and HAMA scales) compared to the placebo group, though this

The present study demonstrates that green tea extract and ginger supplementation, individually and in combination, enhanced endurance performance, metabolic efficiency, and thermal perception in recreationally active males under normothermic and cold conditions. Green tea alone increased time to exhaustion and reduced respiratory exchange ratio in normothermic conditions, indicating improved fat oxidation and endurance capacity. In cold conditions, the combination of green tea and ginger enhanced

A new study in the journal Food Quality and Preference investigated if increasing the spiciness of a meal could influence eating behaviors and reduce how much food people consume. In a series of experiments, researchers had adults eat either a mild or a spicy version of beef chili or chicken tikka masala in a lab setting. The results were significant: when participants ate the spicy beef chili, they consumed 11% less food (about 46 grams) and ate 11% more slowly compared to when they ate the mild

A recent study in the journal GeroScience investigated how age-related declines in cellular energy, specifically the molecule Guanosine triphosphate (GTP), affect waste clearance in brain cells. Using hippocampal neurons from an Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse model, researchers found a significant, age-dependent reduction in free GTP levels, which was accelerated in the AD model neurons. This energy deficit was shown to impair critical cellular processes like endocytosis and autophagy, leading

2025/08/31

A recent study in Advanced Healthcare Materials reports a novel method for regenerating tooth enamel using water-based films made from keratin, a protein abundant in sources like wool. Researchers found that these keratin films can self-assemble into organized scaffolds that guide the growth of aligned apatite nanocrystals, mimicking natural enamel formation. When applied to artificially created early enamel lesions (white spot lesions), the keratin-based system was able to repair the damage,

A study in the journal Nature has uncovered a significant link between the brain's natural lithium levels and Alzheimer's disease (AD). After analyzing 27 different metals in post-mortem human brain tissue, researchers found lithium was the only one significantly reduced in individuals with both mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD. The research also showed that amyloid-β plaques, a key marker of AD, trap lithium, which further lowers its availability for use by brain cells.To confirm this

Vitamin A5 is a fascinating "new" vitamin that acts as a vital key in your body. It helps activate something called the Retinoid X Receptor (RXR), which is like a central control panel or "master switch" for many important functions. This crucial vitamin comes from certain foods, especially leafy green vegetables. Research suggests that many people in Western countries aren't consuming enough of these foods, leading to a potential Vitamin A5 deficiency. This lack could be a
