The effect of different dietary carbohydrates (sucrose, cornstarch and high amylose cornstarch) on intestinal carcinogenesis was studied in male Sprague-Dawley rats treated subcutaneously with azoxymethane (AOM) at a weekly dose of 8 mg/kg body wt for 8 wk. The diets, high in fat and low in calcium

We have undertaken a characterization of the CM2 protein of influenza C virus. The CM2 coding region of RNA segment 6 (nucleotides 731-1147) was cloned from two strains of influenza C virus and expressed using the vaccinia virus-bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase (vac-T7) system. An antiserum raised to

BACKGROUND Several wheat flour allergens relevant to baker's asthma have been identified in the last 25 years. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of sensitization to these allergens in German bakers. METHODS Using recombinant DNA technology, the following wheat flour allergens were

An increase in the activity of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, transketolase, ribose-5-phosphatase and intensive conversion of glucose in pentosophosphate pathway in erythrocytes were observed in experimental rat contact dermatitis. Ultrasonic therapy was used (0.2 w/cm2 at impulse regimen of

Plants gums are complex mixtures of different polysaccharides with a variety of biological activities and pharmaceutical applications. Few studies have focused on physicochemical and biological properties of gums obtained from different plants. This study was designed to determine potential

Effects of structural and non-structural carbohydrates on the development of rumen fermentation and ruminal mucosa in calves were examined during the weaning period. Barley/soybean meal (SBM) group was fed a concentrate starting from 2 weeks of age, whereas alfalfa group received a mixture of

Rice starch is a main source of energy in many lesser developed countries. We studied different chain-lengths of rice glucose polymers (GP) to evaluate their possible use in feeding infants in developing countries. The initial GP of rice (G1 = 4.6, G2 = 4.5, G3 = 15.4, G4 = 7.3, G5 = 17.4, G6-G9 =

Antibody-targeted photolysis is a technique for damaging or killing cells using light and an antibody-bound photosensitizer. In the present study, immunoconjugates were constructed to selectively kill Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria using tin (IV) chlorin e6 which was linked to dextran and then

Marine paint mixed with 2-methoxy-2',4'-dichloro chalcone is able to considerably reduce the formation of biofilm by Vibrio natriegens, a marine bacterium, on polycarbonate (PC), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP). These polymers have been selected for the study,

Smooth muscle cell (SMC) hyperplasia in the arterial wall is an important component of both atherogenesis and post-vascular surgical restenosis. One naturally-occurring group of molecules which can suppress SMC proliferation in animal models and in cell culture systems are the complex carbohydrates

Adhesion between platelets and neutrophils is mediated through the interaction of P-selectin on activated platelets with a carbohydrate-containing structure on neutrophils, and occurs under both static and shear conditions. Recent studies using flow chambers have shown that neutrophils become

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to explore new strategies for enhancing specific cell type attachment to biomaterials using immobilized lectins for cell surface glycoconjugates. The lectin Ulex europaeus I (UEA I) has a high affinity for human vascular endothelial cell surface

UNASSIGNED It has been posited that the consumption of extra protein (> 0.8 g/kg/d) may be deleterious to bone mineral content. However, there is no direct evidence to show that consuming a high-protein diet results in a demineralization of the skeleton. Thus, the primary endpoint of this randomized

Examination of 307 patients with trophic and sluggish wounds showed that the use of a focussed carbohydrate laser beam with an energy density of 800-1000 J/cm2 makes it possible to remove pyonecrotic masses and microbial flora from the wound surface in one-stage, rapidly, without bleeding and

Using a clearance technique, diffusion coefficients, D, were measured in plaque samples in which metabolic activity was eliminated by fixation with glutaraldehyde. Diffusion coefficients for sucrose, sodium acetate and sodium lactate at 37 degrees C were 3.0, 5.0 and 4.8 x 10(-6) cm2 s-1,
