Fluorescence spectra, H NMR, thermoanalysis and molecular modeling were used to investigate the host-guest inclusion system of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) with capsaicin. Job's plot was employed to confirm a 1:2 host-guest stoichiometry. Phase solubility study indicated that the apparent stability constant was 3.76 × 10 M. With the enhancing fluorescence of capsaicin complexation with HPβCD, a spectrofluorimetric method approach to determine the capsaicin in bulk aqueous solution was developed. Linearity was achieved wide ranges (0.05-60 μg/mL), with low detection limit of 0.04 μg/mL, and the relative standard deviation was 1.30%. Application to the analysis of chili powder samples obtained a satisfactory recovery of 99.5-105.6%.

Metabolic (Dysfunction) Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) is a complex metabolic condition, the progression of which toward steatohepatitis can be explained by the 'two-hit' hypothesis: the first hit involves lipid accumulation, and the second hit involves inflammation and oxidative stress. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the protective effects of a combination of hydroxycitric acid and capsaicin (CHC) against high-fat diet (HFD)-induced MASLD in rats, specifically by targeting the mechanisms associated with both hits. To establish the experimental model, rats were fed a HFD for 16 weeks, followed by treatment with CHC for 6 weeks starting on day one of the 16th week of HFD feeding.

The bioremediation of penoxsulam, a commonly encountered aquatic herbicide, was investigated using a single-chamber air microbial fuel cell (MFC) system. This study focused on how the modulation of electron transfer through exogenous electron shuttles (riboflavin (RF), anthraquinone-2-sulfonate (AQS)) and respiratory inhibitors (rotenone, capsaicin) affects electrogenesis and the degradation of penoxsulam. The addition of electron shuttles significantly improved both MFC power generation and pollutant removal efficiency in a dose-dependent manner, with optimal concentrations identified for maximum performance.

Adipose tissue browning, the conversion of white adipose tissue (WAT) into brown or beige adipose tissue, offers potential for combating obesity and metabolic disorders. This review delves in to the transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of WAT browning and how it impacts metabolic health and its significance in various disease conditions. Further the review explains how various external factors such as diet and exercise play an influential role in the regulation of WAT browning.

Aim: Orofacial pain, characterized by discomfort originating from areas such as the tooth pulp, trigeminal nerve and temporomandibular joint, poses substantial challenges in dentistry. Notably, pulpal and periapical pain profoundly impact the quality of life for affected individuals. Recent studies have highlighted a concerning association between pulpal pain and cognitive dysfunction, highlighting the intricate interplay between sensory distress and cognitive processes.

Autophagy-lysosomal pathway deficits contribute to the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ), Tau, and lipid droplets in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Capsaicin, a specific agonist of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), can improve cognitive function in AD patients, but the detailed mechanism is still unclear. Here, it is revealed that capsaicin ameliorated AD-related pathology by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARA/PPARα, a key regulator of lipid metabolism) to promote lipid metabolism and reverse autophagy-lysosomal deficits.
