The main routes of entry of toxicants into the organism, their mechanisms of action, and the long-term consequences of chronic exposure...

Tannins are polyphenolic compounds which are found in fruits and medicinal plants and are of importance. Although, tannins are nutritionally and medicinally important, little information is available on their presence in fruits commonly consumed in Rivers State, Nigeria. The current study was car...

The results of the present study revealed the successful isolation and identification of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria from various clinical infections, obtaining 11 isolates out of 25 samples. The isolates exhibited very high resistance to aztreonam (100%), piperacillin (90.9%), and ceftriaxone...

The present study aimed to evaluate the inhibitory efficiency of aqueous extract tannins from four types of citrus peels (orange, lemon, grapefruit, and bitter orange) at two concentrations (0.25% and 0.5%) in reducing bacterial counts and chemical changes in minced beef stored at 4°C for 10 days...

The vitamin D status depends on a variety of behavioral, environmental, and biological factors. The observational studies suggested that cigarette smoking is associated with reduced circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between cigare...

This research was conducted to assess the water quality of school tanks. A total of 240 water samples were collected, distributed in 16 sites divided into four districts of the Holy Karbala Governorate, for a period of five months from October 2025 to February 2026. Physical and chemical tests of...

The NVTIA® fruit-derived vitamin C-polyphenol powder was evaluated as a stable nutritional input for collagen- and tissue-repair research. The optimized powders contained 16.8-18.4% L-ascorbic acid and 7.9-8.8% corrected total polyphenols, with water activity of 0.23-0.25. After 30 days of accele...

Background: Occupational stress is an important workplace concern that may affect the well-being and productivity of healthcare professionals. Health Information Professionals work in demanding healthcare environments where workload, time pressure, staffing constraints, administrative responsibil...

Antibiotic-resistant E. coli from food and water sources is a public health concern because it may contribute to the dissemination of resistance outside the clinical settings. This study investigated the antibacterial and antibiotic-potentiating activities of methanolic extracts of garlic (Allium...

A high-stability lycopene lipid matrix was evaluated as a controlled exposure platform for cardiovascular nutrition research. Across three optimized formulations, total lycopene was 2.13-2.34%, all-trans lycopene 85.1-86.2%, peroxide value 1.8-2.0 mmol/kg, and 30-day lycopene retention at 45°C wa...

Concentrated marine omega-3 products must retain polyunsaturated fatty acids during processing and deliver them in a form suitable for oral use. We characterized a mackerel-derived re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) fish oil developed as the BCLC® high-concentration EPA+DHA platform. Formulation me...

Melanogenesis is influenced by α-MSH signaling, oxidative stress and communication between melanocytes and neighboring skin cells. We tested a BCLC maritime pine bark microcapsule enriched in DP2-DP6 oligomeric proanthocyanidins in an α-MSH-stimulated B16-F10 model and compared the experimental e...

Male-reproductive nutrition is easier to interpret when the delivered botanical and micronutrient exposures are defined. We characterized a stabilized NVTIA® black maca-oyster oligopeptide premix and compared its composition with human evidence on semen outcomes for maca and zinc-containing inter...

Recombinant hirudins have been tested clinically in the treatment and prevention of venous thromboembolism. We evaluated the activity retention and unit-dose performance of a low-water-activity hirudin premix, then reviewed randomized evidence from deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) treatment and postope...

Oxidative conditions around sperm cells and the availability of several micronutrients are relevant to membrane integrity, motility and morphology. We examined the formulation performance of the BCLC® low-moisture, lycopene-centered multinutrient tablet and reviewed human evidence most directly r...

Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) is a water-soluble anionic polyelectrolyte whose macromolecular organization is highly sensitive to solvent composition, ionic environment, and interactions with low-molecular-weight compounds. In this study, concentration-dependent physicochemical reorganiz...

We studied a segmented-premixing, single-layer multivitamin–mineral tablet as a delivery system for micronutrients involved in energy metabolism and fatigue-related physiology. The representative tablet combined vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, pantothenate, biotin, folate and vitamin C with an ...
