1. Does eating eggs matter?

ABSTRACT Dietary cholesterol is absorbed in proportion to the amount ingested, blocking its hepatic synthesis, increasing its biliary excretion, only slightly increasing production of bile acids while potentially raising the serum concentration of the atherogenic low-density lipoprotein. Humans lie midway between rats and rabbits that respond to dietary chol

3. DFT, Molecular Docking, and ADME/Tox Screening Investigations of Market-Available Drugs against SARS-CoV-2

A series of drugs was investigated to determine structural, electronic and pharmacological properties, as well as the molecular affinity for the main protease of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The drugs were submitted to density functional theory calculations to optimize structures and predict binding preferences. The optimized

5. Synthesis, in silico Study and Antimicrobial Activity of New Piperine Derivatives Containing Substituted δ-Esters

A series of fifteen new piperine-derived diesters was synthesized through the substitution reaction between the salt of piperic acid, obtained through piperine basic hydrolysis, with the δ-chloro-esters, obtained through the cleavage of tetrahydrofuran (THF) with acyl chlorides in the presence of ZnCl2. The final compounds were obtained with yields ranging

10. Determining the relationship between dietary iodine intake, urinary iodine excretion and thyroid functions in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus

ABSTRACT Objective Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a worldwide health problem, and medical nutrition therapy is essential for improving the quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes. Salt restriction may lead to iodine deficiency in these patients. Moreover, type 2 diabetes can be an indirect reason for thyroid disorders. This study was conducted

11. New Diesters Derived from Piperine: in silico Study and Evaluation of Their Antimicrobial Potential

Piperine, previously extracted from black pepper (Piper nigrum L.), was used as a precursor for the synthesis of twelve new diester derivatives. The final products were obtained through the bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction (SN2) of the alkyl 2-chloroacetates and the salt of piperic acid, obtained from the basic hydrolysis of piperine. The compo
