The Pisum arvense lectin (PAL), a legume protein belonging to the Vicieae tribe, is capable of specific recognition of mannose, glucose and its derivatives without altering its structure. In this work, the three-dimensional structure of PAL was determined by X-ray crystallography and studied in

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to undertake an independent investigation into the effects of ingesting a carbohydrate-protein-electrolyte (CPE) beverage on repeated submaximal and time-trial cycling performance. METHODS Sixteen recreationally trained males (height: 1.76 ± 0.07 m; weight:

No information is available about the effects of Japanese radish sprout (JRS) on diabetes. To clarify the effects, the influence of JRS on carbohydrate and lipid metabolisms was investigated in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The rats were fed a diet containing 0%, 2.5% or 5% of JRS

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of combined creatine and fenugreek extract supplementation on strength and body composition. Forty- seven resistance trained men were matched according to body weight to ingest either 70 g of a dextrose placebo (PL), 5 g creatine/70 g of dextrose

Rice plants (Oryza sativa) accumulate excess photoassimilates in the form of non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) in their stems prior to heading that can later be mobilized to supplement photosynthate production during grain-filling. Despite longstanding interest in stem NSC for rice improvement,

The objective of this study was to search for potential alterations in innate immunity reactants and carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in the blood of transition dairy cows before, during, and after clinical occurrence of milk fever (MF) and identify potential predictive biomarkers of disease. One

The ultrasound contrast agents Echovist(®) and Levovist(®) (Bayer AG, Schering AG, Germany) are based on the release of gas bubbles from milled α-d-galactose. In diagnostic ultrasound, for this class of contrast agents, there is a need for prolonged contrast duration. To investigate if new

Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim. is one of the original plants for traditional Chinese medicines Trichosanthis Fructus, Trichosanthis Semen, Trichosanthis Pericarpium and Trichosanthis Radix. Amino acids, nucleosides and carbohydrates are usually considered to have nutritional value and

Carbohydrate biotemplates of glucose (C6H12O6) and starch (C6H12O6)n in to Zinc oxide (ZnO) nano thin films (NTFs) prepared for enhanced antibacterial activity by Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption Reaction (SILAR). X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns revealed that the crystalline size values were

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the effect of preexercise carbohydrate of different glycemic indices on subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue (SCAAT) metabolism and running performance. METHODS Ten trained male runners completed three experimental trials consisting of 30 min at 60% maximal

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical stability of carbohydrate-anchored liposomes. In the present study, carbohydrate (galactose, fucose, and mannose) was palmitoylated and anchored on the surface of positively charged liposomes (PL). The stabilities of plain neutral

This investigation was undertaken to determine whether consuming several small feedings of preexercise carbohydrate (CHO), rather than a single bolus, would affect blood glucose and insulin responses during rest and exercise. Eight trained cyclists ingested 22.5, 45, or 75 total g maltodextrin and

Patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury experience atrophy and weakening of the extensor as well as the hamstrings muscles at the injured leg. Especially, the weakness of the quadriceps muscle has been ascribed to hamper daily physical tasks. The purpose of the present study was

The consumption of excess calories as carbohydrates (CHO)-rich, protein-poor snacks characterizes the overeating of obese CHO cravers, premenstrual women, patients with Seasonal Affective Disorder, and former smokers. This specific appetite for CHOs may involve brain serotonin, as the synthesis and

The carbohydrate-binding specificity of the cell-free hemagglutinin (HA) of Vibrio cholerae (K.K. Banerjee, A.N. Ghose, K. Datta-Roy, S.C. Pal, and A.C. Ghose, Infect. Immun.58:3698-3705, 1990) was studied by using glycoconjugates with defined sugar sequences. The HA was not inhibited by simple
