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.
Habitual glucosamine use, APOE genotypes, and risk of incident cause-specific dementia in the older population | Alzheimer's Research & Therapy | Full Text
Background The relationship of glucosamine use with incident dementia in the older population remains uncertain. We aimed to evaluate the longitudinal association between habitual glucosamine supplement and the risk of cause-specific dementia and examine the possible effect modifiers on this association. Methods The study included 214,945 participants over the age of 60 who had available information on glucosamine use and did not have dementia at baseline in the UK Biobank. The APOE genotypes were determined by a combination variant of rs429358 and rs7412. The primary outcome was incident vascular dementia, incident Alzheimer’s disease, and incident frontotemporal dementia, respectively. Results Over a median follow-up duration of 12 years, 1039, 1774, and 122 participants developed vascular dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and frontotemporal dementia, respectively. Overall, habitual glucosamine use was significantly associated with a lower risk of incident vascular dementia (adjusted HR, 0.82; 95%CI, 0.70–0.96), but not significantly associated with incident Alzheimer’s disease (adjusted HR, 1.02; 95%CI, 0.92–1.14) and incident frontotemporal dementia (adjusted HR, 0.95; 95%CI, 0.63–1.43). Moreover, the inverse association between habitual glucosamine use and incident vascular dementia was more pronounced in participants with concomitant supplement of calcium (P-interaction = 0.011), and those without concomitant supplement of zinc (P-interaction = 0.018). However, APOE ε4 dosage and baseline cognitive function did not significantly modify the relationships of glucosamine use with incident vascular dementia or Alzheimer’s disease (All P-interactions > 0.05). Conclusions Regardless of APOE genotypes and baseline cognitive function, habitual glucosamine use was significantly inversely associated with incident vascular dementia in the older population.
Frontiers | Identification of Acacia Gum Fermenting Bacteria from Pooled Human Feces using Anaerobic Enrichment Culture
Commercial acacia gum (AG) used in this study is a premium-grade free-flowing powder. It is a gummy exudate composed of arabinogalactan branched polysaccharide, a biopolymer of arabinose and galactose. Also known as food additive, acacia gum (E414), which is presently marketed as a functional dietary fiber to improve overall human gut health. The health effects may be related to the luminal pH regulation from the short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) production. Studies suggested that amylolytic and butyrogenic pathways are the major factors determining the SCFA outcome of AG in the lower gut. However, the primary bacteria involved in the fermentation have not been studied. This study aimed to investigate the putative primary degraders of acacia gum in the gut ecosystem. Isolation and identification of gum-fermenting bacteria were performed through enrichment culture fermentation. The experiment was conducted in an anaerobic chamber for 144 h in three stages. The study was conducted in triplicate using an anaerobic chamber system. This culture system allows specific responses to support only bacteria that are responsible for gum fermentation among the gut microbiota. Five bacterial strains were isolated and found to be gum-fermenting bacteria. Based on the 16s RNA sequence, the isolates matched to butyrate-producing Escherichia fergusonii, ATCC 35469.
10 Healthy Reasons To Enjoy Real Butter GreenMedInfo Blog Entry
Butter has gotten a bad rap for many years, starting in the last century with the rise of margarine, which we now recognize as a deadly trans fat. More recently, butter has been shunned in favor of olive oil and canola oil. But here’s why we should reserve a place at the table for good old-fashioned butter
