Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 828: Chitosan-Supported ZnO Nanoparticles: Their Green Synthesis, Characterization, and Application for the Removal of Pyridoxine HCl (Vitamin B6) from Aqueous Media
Mohamed A composite of chitosan-supported ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO/CS) was green-synthesized via an easy and cost-effective method using Chicory (Cichorium intybus) plant extract. The synthesis was confirmed using uv-vis spectrometry at a λmax of 380 nm, and the surface of the material was characterized via FT−IR spectroscopy, and finally via SEM, which confirmed the distribution of ZnO nanoparticles on the surface of chitosan biopolymer (CS). The synthesized material was applied in the adsorptive removal of residues of the pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6) pharmaceutical drug from aqueou...

Assessing pyridoxine adjuvant therapy effects on blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes: A randomized clinical trial
This study aimed to assess the effects of pyridoxine adjuvant treatment on blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This interventional, randomized, open-label study was conducted in the Mesan Governorate, with participants from the Mesan Center for Diabetes and Endocrinology as the study population. This study included patients newly diagnosed with T2DM. Patients were randomized into three groups: Group 1, the control group, treated with non-pharmacological therapy (lifestyle modification) (n=20); Group 2, treated with Metformin 500 mg/day in addition to non-pharmacological therapy (lifestyle...
