Artificial sweeteners are commonly used food additives that provide sweetness without calories. Once considered harmless due to their lack of metabolism, recent studies suggest they may have unintended effects, potentially stimulating appetite and increasing intake, leading weight gain. This study aimed assess consumer perceptions artificial in food, examine consumption frequencies products containing them, explore potential influence on body mass index. A cross-sectional was conducted using...
Background/Objectives: Artificial sweeteners (ASs) are food additives used to impart sweetness various products. Common individually or in combination include acesulfame-K, aspartame, cyclamate, saccharin, sucralose, and neotame. While traditionally considered harmless, emerging research suggest potential health implications. This study aims analyze commonly consumed products Croatia for ASs presence, quantify four ASs, estimate daily intake of ASs. Additionally, product labeling was...

The obesity pandemic has brought forth a scientific interest in food intake and sensory perception interactions. Olfactory gustatory are very complex under the influence of many factors, including menstrual cycle. This study aims to clarify conflicting findings on cycle olfactory perception. Women were assessed during four consecutive phases one complete (mid-follicular, ovulatory, mid-luteal, late luteal (

AimTo develop a method for measuring protein carbonylation in human plasma and serum samples, which was previously implied numerous age-related phenotypes.MethodsProtein expression were analyzed samples obtained from 12 healthy individuals by using novel that combines affinity-based albumin immunoglobulin G removal, aminooxy dyeing one- or two-dimensional gels. In addition, carbonylome profile of compared. Coefficients variation intra-class correlation coefficients used statistical...
To facilitate the development of a COVID-19 predictive model in Croatia by analyzing three different methodological approaches.We used historical data to explore fit extended SEIRD compartmental model, Heidler function, an exponential approximation electromagnetic phenomena related lightning strikes, and Holt-Winters smoothing (HWS) for short-term epidemic predictions. We also compared various methods estimation R0.The R0 estimates varied from 2.09 (95% CI 1.77-2.40) obtained using empirical...
