From an engineering perspective, a water tube boiler is defined by the fact that water or steam–water mixture flows inside the tubes while high-temperature flue gas passes outside the tubes. In ...

A new orally taken, gut-based compound developed by scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), reduces the amount of dietary fat absorbed in the intestines. This ...

The concept of "good fats" and "bad fats" has influenced diet trends, public health policy, and biomedical research for ...

If you usually reach for a protein-packed post-gym meal, how much of that nutrient does your body actually absorb? The internet is full of claims about a so-called “protein intake ceiling," the idea ...

ABSTRACT: Background: Male infertility has increasingly been associated with environmental factors, particularly exposure to heavy metals, which induce oxidative stress and impair spermatogenesis and ...

Current weight-loss treatments like surgery or fat-blocking drugs can be risky, but researchers are testing a gentler alternative. They’ve developed edible, plant-based microbeads that bind to fat in ...

Researchers have created plant-based microbeads that trap fat in the gut, helping rats lose weight without side effects. Unlike current drugs, the beads are safe, tasteless, and easy to mix into ...

Abstract: In this paper, a solution for the control of a chemical absorption process of a gas in liquid phase is proposed. The absorption process is treated as a distributed parameter one, its model ...

If you’ve spent any time in the fitness world, you’ve heard it: “Your body can only absorb 20-30 grams of protein in one meal.” This single piece of advice has influenced how people structure their ...

The UV-Vis spectrum is a graphical representation of light absorption. Wavelength (nm) is shown on the x-axis, representing the energy of absorbed light; absorbance or transmittance is plotted on the ...

If you're one of the almost 25% of people in the U.S. who are low on vitamin D, your food choices could have a big impact. It's hard to get enough vitamin D from food alone, but combining it with ...

In this interview, News Medical talks to Patrick D. Sinko about the role of particle size, dose, and confinement parameters in advancing drug absorption modeling. Could you explain what a boundary ...
