A research team has discovered that metformin, the most widely prescribed anti-diabetic drug, causes sugar to be excreted in the stool. Taking advantage of the new bio-imaging apparatus PET-MRI, they ...

We obtained morning fasting urine samples from 101,945 persons in 17 countries and estimated 24-hour sodium and potassium excretion (used as a surrogate for intake). We examined the association ...

FURTHER to our earlier communications concerning the excretion of nitrogen compounds from the nodules of leguminous species, I wish to add the following: a distinct excretion occurs only in media ...

A lactic acid bacterium isolated from kimchi may help promote the removal of nanoplastics from the body by binding to them in the intestine. Nanoplastics are ultrafine plastic particles measuring less ...

Plants and animals are made up of cells. For sustaining the life of an organism cells plays an important role. These cells work in the form of biochemical reactions which carry out all the time. These ...

Higher levels of sodium intake are reported to be associated with higher blood pressure. Whether this relationship varies according to levels of sodium or potassium intake and in different populations ...

Respiration is the process of releasing energy from food. Like human beings and other animals, plants also need oxygen from the environment and release carbon dioxide. This shows that even plants ...

Introduction: Incidentaloma is an adrenal tumor detected during diagnostic imaging performed for extra-adrenal causes. Evaluation of metanephrine concentrations in a 24-hour urine collection can be a ...

Kimchi-derived lactic acid bacteria may bind environmental micropollutants, suggesting a possible biological mechanism that could help reduce nanoplastic buildup in the gut. Nanoplastics are ultrafine ...
