Inhibition of the sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) by canagliflozin in type 2 diabetes mellitus results in large between-patient variability in clinical response. To better understand this variability, the positron emission tomography (PET) tracer [18F]canagliflozin was developed via a Cu-mediated …

Introduction: Age-related decline in physical performance causes longer hospitalization and higher mortality rates. The role various micronutrients have on this has been broadly researched, yet a clear overview of current literature’s consensus lacks. Therefore, this narrative review investigatesthe …

In light of recent developments of the onboard ballast water treatment, WMR has developed a new protocol for the assessment of ecotoxicological effects and aims to use it as a standardised test. This study looks into the validation of this short-chronic ELS fish toxicity test, by use of the embryonic …

Saybolt is a petrochemical company that invest in different types of oils and fuels. Saybolt Vlaardingen has purchased a new Perkin Elmer Optima 8300 ICP-OES (Inductively coupled plasma optical-emission spectrometry) that must be validated. The ICP-OES is used to analyze metals in petroleum products. This …

In order to increase feed quality, additive has been used to increase silage storage stability. During feeding time, the silage is exposed to oxygen and a degrading process starts decreasing dry matter and increasing temperature. This rise in temperature makes the silage less appetising to cows, few …

INTRODUCTION: Minerals may contribute to prevent and treat sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance. So far, there is no comprehensive review on the impact of minerals on sarcopenia outcomes. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the role of …

Vegetables have low taste intensities, which might contribute to low acceptance. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of taste (sweetness, sourness, bitterness, umami, and saltiness) and fattiness enhancement on consumer acceptance of cucumber and green capsicum purees. Three concentrations …

Background: An effective and tolerable bowel preparation is important to secure quality of colonoscopies. It remains unclear if sodium picosulphate with magnesium citrate (SPMC), which is considered a tolerable bowel preparation agent, is also an effective alternative for polyethylene glycol (PEG) and …
