From April 2021 to December 2021, 50 pregnant women who received intro fertilization (IVF) will be recuited. Among them, 25 of them would like to take Chinese medicine from the 2nd week after embryo transfer (intervention group), while the remaining 25 will not intake Chinese medicine (control group). Blood and feces samples will be collected in the early morning of the 4th and 6th week after embryo transfer to detect 16S DNA sequences in feces, plasma metabolites, and whole blood transcriptomics.

ATP is generated mainly through anaerobic metabolism during strenuous exercise, which is then followed by the generation of lactic acid. However, this process can only be maintained for a short time, approximately one minute, because the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles may affect muscle performance. The efficiency of lactic acid metabolism is one of the most important reasons for endurance improvement. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impacts of the daily ingestion of a commercially available Vespa amino acid mixture (VAAM®) beverage on blood parameters that are related to fatigue, muscle damage and immunity in healthy, young athletes during middle-distance running exercises. VAAM® contains 17 types of amino acids at a certain ratio, and evaluations were completed during 10 weeks of consecutive required speed and strength running tests.

Investigators performed a randomized double-blind trial to determine the effects of long-term NnEx ingestion in patients with overweight or obesity. Ninety-five participants (23
