Association of green tea consumption with prediabetes, diabetes, and markers of glucose metabolism in rural Vietnam: A cross-sectional study
Br J Nutr. 2024 Feb 16:1-25. doi: 10.1017/S0007114524000412. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe literature on green tea consumption and glucose metabolism has reported conflicting findings. This cross-sectional study examined the association of green tea consumption with abnormal glucose metabolism among 3,000 rural residents aged 40-60 years in Khánh Hòa province in Vietnam. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the association of green tea consumption (0, < 200, 200-< 400, 400-< 600, or ≥ 600 mL/day) with prediabetes and diabetes (based on the American Diabetes Association criteria...

Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Camellia sinensis Leaf Extract: Promising Particles for the Treatment of Cancer and Diabetes
Chem Biodivers. 2024 Feb 15:e202301661. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.202301661. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBoth diabetes and cancer pose significant threats to public health. To overcome these challenges, nanobiotechnology offers innovative solutions for the treatment of these diseases. However, the synthesis of nanoparticles can be complex, costly and environmentally toxic. Therefore, in this study, we successfully synthesized Camellia sinensis silver nanoparticles (CS-AgNPs) biologically from methanolic leaf extract of C. sinensis and as confirmed by the visual appearance which exhibited strong absorption at 456 nm in UV-visible...

Dietary Supplement Use in Transmasculine People: Results of an Online Survey of Volunteer Adults
CONCLUSION: Transmasculine people in our study reported a high use of dietary supplements. Differences in the types of products and number of products used, as well as specific motivations for use likely exist within this subpopulation, however, future nationally-representative longitudinal studies are needed to fully elucidate these patterns and for informing evidence-based nutrition guidance.PMID:38343146 | DOI:10.1080/19390211.2024.2316162 (Source: Journal of Dietary Supplements)

Coffee and green tea consumption with the risk of COVID-19 among the vaccine recipients in Japan: a prospective study
CONCLUSION: In a cohort of Japanese hospital staff who received COVID-19 vaccine, higher consumption of coffee was associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 during the epidemic of the Omicron variant. There was no evidence of a significant association between green tea consumption and COVID-19 risk.PMID:38346747 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20230231 (Source: Journal of Epidemiology)

Evaluating an integrated nano zero-valent iron column system for emerging contaminants removal from different wastewater matrices - Identification of transformation products
In this study, the performance of a column system consisting of zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) incorporated into a cationic resin and synthesized from green tea extract with the addition of persulfate for the elimination of selected pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors from wastewater is evaluated. Ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac and ketoprofen were the target pharmaceuticals from non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs group, while bisphenol A was the target endocrine disruptor. In this context, different real wastewater effluent matrices were investigated: anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR), upflow anaerobic ...
