Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a hormone synthesized and secreted by the pineal gland mainly during the night, since light exposure suppresses its production.Initially, an implication of this indoleamine in malignant disease was described in endocrine-responsive Swimwear breast cancer.Data from several clinical trials and multiple expe
Machine learning modeling practices to support the principles of AI and ethics in nutrition research
Abstract Background Nutrition research is relying more on artificial intelligence and machine learning models to understand, diagnose, predict, and explain data.While artificial intelligence and machine learning models provide powerful modeling tools, failure to use careful and well-thought-out modeling processes can lead to misleading conclusions
Using Partial Budgeting Analyses to Analyze Profitability of Commercial Pumpkin Production, Standardize Bin Size Categories, and Understand Bin Sorting Accuracy
Pumpkins (Cucurbita sp.) are currently sold in retail commercial bins categorized based on fruit size.There are no standards for these fruit sizes, thus creating discrepancies across the industry.Furthermore, there is not a published partial budget analysis for pumpkin fruit yield based on plant area.An observational study was conducted to quantify
Discrimination of Botanical Origins for Chinese Honey According to Amino Acids Content with Chemometric Approaches
In this study, 17 amino acids were analyzed by amino acid analyzer in 110 honey samples from three different monofloral honeys, i.e.acacia honey, linden honey and rape honey in China, and the honey variety discrimination was performed based on amino acid content combined with chemometrics.The results showed that the content of hydrolyzed amino acid
