Potential Medical Applications of Chitooligosaccharides by Sukumaran Anil (14158935)

“…COS can be produced through enzymatic conversions using chitinases, physical and chemical applications, or a combination of these strategies. COS is of significant interest for pharmacological and medical applications due to its increased water solubility and non-toxicity, with a wide range of bioactivities, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, neuroprotective, anticancer, and antioxidant effects. …”

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations are inversely associated with body adiposity measurements but the association with bone mass is non-linear in postmenopausal women by Vijay, Ganji

“…Multivariate adjusted regression was applied to determine the association between serum 25(OH)D and body adiposity markers and bone mass. Serum 25(OH)D was significantly, inversely associated with body mass index (p < 0.0005), waist circumference (0.044), fat mass (p < 0.003), gynoid fat (p < 0.001), and android fat (p < 0.009). …”
