alpha glucose/zea mays

An improved composite bulk-modified bioelectrode setup based on a solid binding matrix (SBM) has been used to develop a glucose/hydrogen peroxide biofuel cell. Fuel is combined through a catalytically promoted reaction with oxygen into and oxidized species and electricity. The present work explores

We evaluated the in vitro and in vivo digestibility and clinical tolerance of three corn syrup sugars (DE10, 15, 24) and one infant formula containing corn syrup sugar as the sole carbohydrate source (DE24). In vitro studies were conducted using human duodenal fluid and jejunal mucosa with normal

We utilized maize (Zea mays L.) lines expressing the salmon silk (sm) phenotype, quantitative trait locus analysis, and analytical chemistry of flavone compounds to establish the order of undefined steps in the synthesis of the flavone maysin in maize silks. In addition to the previously described

OBJECTIVE Shade or inadequate water can inhibit photosynthesis and limit the development of maize (Zea mays) ovaries around the time of pollination, potentially reducing the number of kernels at harvest. This study investigated whether the decreased photosynthesis diminished only the sugar supply or

This paper was written to pay honor to Professor Gerard P. Smith because of his strong influence on me to study the ingestion of sweet and fat mixtures. Three experiments are reported here, in which the laboratory rat was given an emulsion of a glucose+saccharin mixture with corn oil. In the first

In adult rats, the rate of gastric emptying is modulated by properties of the diet, including its caloric content and osmotic properties. In developing pups, there is little known about the modulation of gastric emptying, despite evidence that volume of gastric contents may play a significant role

The activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in the adipose tissue and skeletal muscle of rats fed glucose- or fructose-based diets containing fish oil, corn oil or tallow was examined. In addition, heart LPL activity was measured in rats fed a glucose-based diet containing either corn oil or fish oil.

The relationship between changes in H(+) flux and sugar transport in maize Zea mays L. DEA root tips have been investigated using two methods for controlling the cellular nucleotide level: (a) incubation in the presence of a glucose analog, the 2-deoxyglucose, which decreased the ATP level to less

Twenty-two Hampshire-Yorkshire X Large White sows of second and third parity were allotted randomly to one of three dietary treatments. Five sows were fed 6.0 kg/day of a corn-soybean meal lactation diet (control diet). Twelve sows were fed the control diet in which 24% of the composition was

The incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing, and new experimental models are required to investigate the diverse aspects of these polygenic diseases, which are intimately linked in terms of aetiology. Feline T2DM has been shown to closely resemble human T2DM in terms

The effects of dietary consumption of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and dextrose during a 28-d lactation on sow and litter performance and sow plasma constituents were examined in 45 multiparous and 36 primiparous crossbred sows. Isocaloric and isonitrogenous corn-soybean meal diets were

Conditions for obtaining reproducible light-induced reduction of a b-type cytochrome in membrane fractions from coleoptiles of dark-grown Zea mays L. include a glucose-glucose oxidase system that lowers O(2) tension and generates H(2)O(2), substrate amounts of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid which,

Free-feeding normal and streptozotocin-diabetic rats were allowed to drink 10 ml of 35% glucose solution or an equicaloric 15% corn oil emulsion during the 1st hr of the dark period. While the drinks were available, the rats ate food that contained distinctive flavors such that a particular flavor

ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase from developing endosperm tissue of starchy maize (Zea mays) was purified 88-fold to a specific activity of 34 micromoles alpha-glucose-1-P produced per minute per milligram protein. Rabbit antiserum to purified spinach leaf ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase was able to

OBJECTIVE Around the time of anthesis, young ovary development in maize (Zea mays) is vulnerable to 2 or 3 d of water deficits that inhibit photosynthesis. Abortion can result, and fewer kernels are produced. A breakdown of stored ovary starch is associated with the abortion and was investigated in
