Vitamin C is a necessary micronutrient that is involved in many biological processes. In preserved human plasma and serum, vitamin C is most meaningfully analyzed as total ascorbic acid (TAA). From 1993 through 2015, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) coordinated 40 interlaboratory studies (ILS) devoted to improving the…[Read more]

7 at baseline vs 24.0, 31.0, 14.8, 14.6, 8.2 and 6.2). Severe OA in 12 cases showed initially improved VAS, but was not sustained. Minor adverse events such as erythema in the region of embolization (21/186, 11%), puncture-site hematoma (18/186, 10%), paresthesia (2/186, 1%) and fever (1/186, 0.5%) were reported. Conclusion Limited single-arm…[Read more]

This study was proposed to investigate the possibility of co-delivering essential oils and lipophilic nutrients via lecithin stabilized emulsions. Emulsions with different droplet sizes (62.5-105 nm), zeta potentials (-33.7 to -58.6 mV), and PdI values (0.155-0.275) were successfully prepared. Incorporation of curcumin into emulsions significantly…[Read more]

Genome relatedness between strain BOM4T and G. aestuarii JCM 17790T was computed using both average nucleotide identity and DNA-DNA hybridization with values of 75.6 and 19.3±2.4 %, respectively. The DNA G+C content of strain BOM4T was 41.4 mol%. On the basis of polyphasic analysis, strain BOM4T was considered to represent a novel species of the…[Read more]
