In this article, ZnO nanostructures were synthesized via the hydrothermal method which used ZnCl2 and HMTAmixed solution as the precursor. A multistep growth was adopted to improve the growth restriction of a closed system, not only the length but also the aspect ratio were increased with steps of growth, and the shape of nanorods maintained integrity. Furthermore, photoluminescence spectra whi...

In the long-term, with progression of the illness, Parkinson’s disease dementia affects up to 90% of patients with Parkinson’s disease. With increasing life expectancy in western countries, Parkinson’s disease dementia is set to become even more prevalent in the future. However, current treatments only give modest symptomatic benefit at best. New treatments are slow in development because unlik...

Canagliflozin (CNF) and dapagliflozin (DPF) are the first sodiumglucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors to be approved for clinical use. Although available evidence excludes clinically significant inhibition of cytochromes P450, the effects of CNF and DPF on human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes are unknown. Here, we report the inhibition of human recombinant UGTs by CNF and DPF, along wit...

Background: Short sleep duration is correlated with an increased risk of developing obesity and cardiovascular disease, but the mechanisms behind this relation are largely unknown. Objective: We aimed to test the hypothesis that acute sleep loss decreases physical activity while increasing food intake, thereby shifting 2 crucial behavioral components of energy homeostasis
