Long-term intake of potential zinc-chelating drugs may cause zinc deficiency. We postulated that zinc deficiency in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients was related to the intake of drugs such as levodopa. We investigated the relationship between zinc l...
The announcement of the coronavirus pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), ongoing restrictions and isolation led to a break with the daily routine, and suspension of social contacts, but also imposed new challenges on the population relate...
Background: Recent metabolomics studies have found circulatory metabolism alterations in patients with asthma, indicating that altered metabolites played a significant role in asthma. However, the regulatory mechanisms in asthma, especially in young...
Bodybuilders tend to overeat their daily protein needs. The purpose of a high-protein diet is to support post-workout recovery and skeletal muscle growth; however, its exact impact on gut microbiota still remains under investigation. The aim of this...
