Kombucha is a popular fermented tea that has attracted considerable attention due, in part, to its suggested health benefits. Previous results from animal models led us hypothesize kombucha may reduce blood sugar levels humans with diabetes. The objective of this pilot clinical study was evaluate for anti-hyperglycemic activities adults diabetes mellitus type II.The organized as prospective randomized double-blinded crossover at single-center urban hospital system. Participants (n = 12) were...

Abstract Rising cases of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in India, especially metropolitan cities is an increasing concern. The individuals that were most affected are young professionals working the corporate sector. However, sector has remained least explored for T2D risk predisposition. Considering employees’ lifestyles and role gene-environment interaction susceptibility, study aims to find genetic variants associated with In this first kind study, 680 (284 cases, 396 controls) diagnosed screened...

Abstract Human mitochondrial DNA haplogroup U is among the initial maternal founders in Southwest Asia and Europe one that best indicates matrilineal genetic continuity between late Pleistocene hunter-gatherer groups present-day populations of Europe. While most subclades are older than 30 thousand years, comparatively recent coalescence time extant variation U7 (~16–19 years ago) suggests its current distribution consequence more dispersal events, despite wide geographical range across...

Abstract Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), the Northern most State of India, has been under-represented or altogether absent in phylogenetic studies carried out literature, despite its strategic location Himalayan region. Nonetheless, this region may have acted as a corridor to various migrations from mainland Eurasia northeast Asia. The belief goes that post-late-Pleistocene were mainly male dominated, primarily associated with population invasions, where female migration thus limited. To...

Adverse effects of antileishmanial drugs can affect patients' quality life and adherence to therapy for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) post-kala-azar dermal (PKDL). In Bangladesh, there are 26 treatment centers that manage cases coming from 100 endemic upazilas (subdistricts) districts (these include VL, PKDL, failure, relapse VL cutaneous cases). This study aimed investigate the feasibility using focused pharmacovigilance (VLPV) in Bangladesh's National Kala-azar Elimination Programme early...

Abstract Buckwheat ( Fagopyrum spp.) is an important nutritional and nutraceutical‐rich pseudo‐cereal crop. Despite its obvious potential as a functional food, buckwheat has not been fully harnessed due to low yield, self‐incompatibility, increased seed cracking, limited set, lodging, frost susceptibility. The inadequate availability of genomics resources in one the major reasons for this. In present study, genome‐wide association mapping (GWAS) was conducted identify loci associated with...
