Alkaline water is mineral-rich and riding the wellness wave. Check out to know if it's a major hydration upgrade for you or just another hyped wellness trend.

The activity of immobilized pepsin at different values of pH and temperature was studied with special attention devoted to extension of pH profiles that would allow specific digestion of proteins ...

The Miss Universe Philippines 2025 pageant finished with Chelsea Manalo crowning another Manalo, pageant veteran Ahtisa Manalo from Quezon Province, as her successor.

It should be noted that, because pepsin is determined after complete activation of pepsinogen and at a buffered pH of 4.9, the values obtained are independent of gastric acidity.

GORD has been defined by international consensus based on symptoms of heartburn and regurgitation.1 While this definition is useful for patients with the typical reflux syndrome, these symptoms may ...

Pepsin exhibits its highest activity at a pH of 2.0 and becomes inactive at a pH of 6.5, though it remains stable at a pH of 8.0. As a result, it can be reactivated when the pH drops again (12).

Gastric juice is a liquid produced by the stomach which is essential for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients. It is ...

Despite the health claims surrounding alkaline water, scientific evidence suggests its purported benefits may be overhyped.

Comparison of a salivary/sputum pepsin assay with 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring for detection of gastric reflux into the proximal esophagus, oropharynx, and lung.

The average blood pepsin level is plotted against the highest concentration of gastric pepsin "washed out" (but, of course, not stimulated) by histamine.
