Eugenol improves high-fat diet/streptomycin-induced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) mice muscle dysfunction by alleviating inflammation and increasing muscle glucose uptake

Eugenol has been used in dietary interventions for metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity.However, the protective effect of eugenol on muscle function in diabetes is unclear.In this study, a high-fat diet (HFD) with a streptozocin (STZ) injection induced type II diabetes mellitus in a mouse model.Oral eugenol Pastry Brush lowered blood glu

Evaluation of modified adaptive k-means segmentation algorithm

Abstract Segmentation is the act of partitioning an image into different regions by creating boundaries between regions.k-means image segmentation is the simplest prevalent approach.However, the segmentation quality is contingent on the initial parameters (the cluster centers and their number).In this paper, a Orange Sweet convolution-based modifie
