  • Publication number: 20240139262
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a complex probiotic composition and a method for improving exercise performance of a subject with low intrinsic aerobic exercise capacity. The complex probiotic composition, which includes Lactobacillus rhamnosus GKLC1, Bifidobacterium lactis GKK24 and Clostridium butyricum GKB7, administered to the subject with the low intrinsic aerobic exercise capacity in a continuation period, can effectively reduce serum lactic acid and serum urea nitrogen after aerobic exercise, reduce proportion of offal fat and/or increase liver and muscle glycogen contents, thereby being as an effective ingredient for preparation of various compositions.

  • Patent number: 10964280
    Abstract: A source driver including a first output buffer, a second output buffer and a plurality of switches is provided. The first output buffer is connected to an output line. The second output buffer is connected to another output line. During a charge-sharing period, the first switch and the fourth switch are not conducted, and the second switch, the third switch, the fifth switch and the sixth switch are conducted. A first node, a second node and the output lines are connected together to perform a charge-sharing operation during the charge-sharing period. Based on the circuit structure of the source driver, the efficiency of the charge-sharing operation is improved and the chip area of the source driver is reduced.
