• Effect of processing and storage time on the vitamin C and lycopene contents of nectar of pink guava (Psidium guajava L.)

  Archivos Latinoamericanos de Nutrición · 2025 · Q4 · FWCI 3.97 · 54 citations

  Processing pink guava into nectar reduced vitamin C by 63% (from 168.9 to 62.3 mg/100g) and lycopene by 63% (from 3.55 to 1.35 mg/100g). After 120 days of storage at 10°C, vitamin C further dropped by 89% to 6.67 mg/100g, retaining only 46% of its initial processed content, while lycopene remained stable.

• Biological sex differences in pharmacokinetics and adverse drug reactions

  Naunyn-Schmiedeberg s Archives of Pharmacology · 2025 · Q2 · FWCI 22.21 · 28 citations · Open access

  Biological sex significantly impacts drug pharmacokinetics (PK) and adverse drug reactions (ADRs), with females exhibiting slower gastric emptying, higher body fat, and altered CYP enzyme activity (e.g., higher CYP3A4, lower CYP1A2/2D6/2E1) compared to males. Hormonal fluctuations, pregnancy, and within-woman variations further influence drug half-life and systemic exposure.
