Alcohol is known to cause various developmental diseases including Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Here the authors investigate the effect of ethanol on the development of zebrafish beta cells, the part of the pancreas associated with Type 1 Diabetes. They find that exposure to ethanol does adversely affect beta-cell development, suggesting that alcohol ingestion during pregnancy may be linked to diabetes in newborns.

This study investigates the ability of Gymnema sylvestre tea to acutely suppress sweet taste perception across various food groups. Our findings demonstrate how this natural botanical can reduce sugar cravings, offering a potential complementary strategy for managing dietary intake in type 2 diabetes.

The authors investigated alcohol content of foods during preparation and when ready to serve to determine how much alcohol remained in the food.

The authors looked at public knowledge regarding suggested daily limits for sugar intake and then looked at how sugar levels vary in the same drink obtained from different sources and across different days.

The authors looked at the ability to use graphite from pencils in anodes of lithium-anode batteries.

The authors used Monte Carlo simulations to assess the impacts of various factors on neonatal seizure risk.

The authors test the activity of two purified human alcohol detoxification enzymes, alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase.

Enzymes that metabolize carbohydrates and lipids play a key role in our health, including global health challenges like cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. To learn more about these important enzymes, Gandhi and Gandhi test whether various natural substances (ginger, Aloe vera, lemon, and mint leaves) affect the activity of α-amylase and lipase enzymes.

In this paper, Thomas et al. introduce a new, affordable way to study characteristics of rocket motors using small-scale rocket motors.

The authors test the effects of common food industry preservatives on the heart rate of the freshwater crustacean Daphnia magna.
