Crystals | Free Full-Text | Solubility and Crystallization of Glucosamine Hydrochloride in Water with the Presence of Additives
Glucosamine hydrochloride (GAH) is a kind of natural hexose, which is used to promote the synthesis of mucopolysaccharides and improve the metabolism of articular cartilage. In this paper, the solubility of GAH in pure water and aqueous system with the presence of three kinds of additives (HCl, NaCl, KCl) at temperatures ranging from 278.15 K to 323.15 K was determined by gravimetric method. When there are additives in water, the solubility of GAH increases with the increase of temperature and decreases with the increase of concentration of the three kinds of additives. When the additives were at similar mole fractions, HCl led to the lowest solubility of GAH. The modified Apelblat model and van’t Hoff model were used to correlate the solubility data. The average relative deviation (ARD) data of Apelblat and van’t Hoff models were less than 5%, indicating good fitting results. Based on the thermodynamic data, the cooling crystallization process of GAH was performed. It was found that the additives could affect the crystal morphology, particle size, and yield of GAH products. This study supplemented the thermodynamic data of GAH and studied the cooling crystallization process in the presence of GAH additives, which provided important guidance for the optimization of the crystallization process.

Aloe Vera for Diabetes: Research, Pros, Cons, and More
Aloe vera still needs to be researched more for its use in treating diabetes, but preliminary results show that it could help lower both fasting glucose and A1C.

Heart Attacks in People Under Age 50 Were on the Rise Before COVID, But Not in Athletes — Until the Vaccines Rolled Out • Children's Health Defense
Heart Attacks in People Under Age 50 Were on the Rise Before COVID, But Not in Athletes — Until the Vaccines Rolled Out • Children's Health Defense
Data from more than 20 years ago show heart attacks in young adults, most with chronic health conditions, were on the rise. But over the past two years, as COVID-19 vaccines were rolled out and mandated, there’s been a rise in heart attacks among healthy, fit athletes.

Marine Drugs | Free Full-Text | Bioactivity of Fucoidan-Rich Extracts from Fucus vesiculosus against Rotavirus and Foodborne Pathogens
Marine algae are sources of bioactive components with defensive properties of great value against microbial infections. This study investigated the bioactivity of extracts from brown algae Fucus vesiculosus against rotavirus, the worldwide leading cause of acute gastroenteritis in infants and young children. Moreover, one of the extracts was tested against four foodborne bacteria: Campylobacter jejuni, Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Listeria monocytogenes, and the non-pathogenic: E. coli K12. In vitro tests using MA104 cells revealed that both whole algae extracts and crude fucoidan precipitates neutralized rotavirus in a dose-responsive manner. The maximum neutralization activity was observed when the rotavirus was incubated with 100 μg mL−1 of the hydrochloric acid-obtained crude fucoidan (91.8%), although crude fucoidan extracted using citric acid also demonstrated high values (89.5%) at the same concentration. Furthermore, molecular weight fractionation of extracts decreased their antirotaviral activity and high molecular weight fractions exhibited higher activity compared to those of lower molecular weight. A seaweed extract with high antirotaviral activity was also found to inhibit the growth of C. jejuni, S. Typhimurium, and L. monocytogenes at a concentration of 0.2 mg mL−1. Overall, this study expands the current knowledge regarding the antimicrobial mechanisms of action of extracts from F. vesiculosus.

Aloe vera Gel Ameliorates Fat-Rich and High Fructose (FRHF) Diet-Induced Pancreatic and Splenic Damage in Mice | Borneo Journal of Pharmacy
High-fat diet alone or in combination with high fructose has been known to induce diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and immune dysfunction. The study evaluates the role of Aloe vera in fat-rich and high fructose diet-induced (FRHFD) hyperglycemias in addition to testicular and splenic morphology in mice. Twenty BALB/c Mice were randomly distributed into four groups (n=5). The groups were fed on a normal diet, FRHFD, FRHFD + 10 g Aloe vera , and FRHFD + 20 g Aloe vera for 10 weeks. All the mice were sacrificed a day after the 10 weeks of treatment. The result showed that mice fed on FRHFD plus Aloe vera had a significantly lower (p
