The effect of high (HMP) and low (LMP) methoxylated pectins (2%w/w) on the rate and extent of the mass transfer of monosaccharides, amino acids, and a corn oil-in-water emulsion across a cellulose membrane was evaluated. A sigmoidal response kinetic analysis was used to calculate both the diffusion
The use of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has increased over the past several decades in the United States while overweight and obesity rates have risen dramatically. Some scientists hypothesize that HFCS consumption has uniquely contributed to the increasing mean body mass index (BMI) of the U.S.
Shortly after Zea mays L. plants were exposed to (14)CO(2), most of the radioactivity in the kernel occurred in the free monosaccharides, glucose and fructose. Later the proportion of (14)C in sucrose increased and that in the monosaccharides declined. These data have been interpreted as showing
According to the acid-growth hypothesis, auxin-induced secretion of hydrogen ions activate "wall loosening" enzymes that change the rheological properties of the cell wall. The wall loosening process may yield monosaccharides by the enzymic cleavage of load-bearing polysaccharides. Our study was
BACKGROUND
Intake of added sugar has been shown to correlate with many human metabolic diseases, and rodent models have characterized numerous aspects of the resulting disease phenotypes. However, there is a controversy about whether differential health effects occur because of the consumption of
The metabolism of myo-inositol-2-(14)C, d-glucuronate-1-(14)C, d-glucuronate-6-(14)C, and l-methionine-methyl-(14)C to cell wall polysaccharides was investigated in excised root-tips of 3 day old Zea mays seedlings. From myo-inositol, about one-half of incorporated label was recovered in ethanol
Graminaceous monocots generally contain low levels of hydroxyproline-rich Glycoproteins (HRGPs). As HRGPs are often at the cell surface, we used the intact cell elution technique (100 millimolar AlCl(3)) to isolate soluble surface proteins from Zea mays cell suspension cultures. Further
Carbon-14, photosynthetically fixed in leaves of Zea mays L. and translocated to developing kernels, passed through specialized basal endosperm cells prior to movement into the starchy endosperm and embryo. Radioactivity migrated in the endosperm at a maximum rate of 2.7 millimeters per hour, and
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
Secreted slime isolated from the incubation medium of Zea mays roots maintained axenically contains fucose, arabinose, xylose, galactose, and glucose as the major monosaccharides. The slime preparation contains low levels (3% weight/weight [w/w]) of uronic acids. Methylation analysis reveals an
The involvement of cell-wall polymer synthesis in auxin-mediated elongation of coleoptile segments from Zea mays L. was investigated with particular regard to the growth-limiting outer epidermis. There was no effect of indole acetic acid (IAA) on the incorporation of labeled glucose into the major
The proteins dissociated from isolated Zea seedling cell wall using high-ionic-strength salt solutions have been found to include a number of enzymes which appear to participate in autolytic reactions of the cell wall. These enzymes caused extensive degradation of enzymatically inactive cell wall,
Human fecal fermentation profiles of maize, rice, and wheat bran and their dietary fiber fractions released by alkaline-hydrogen peroxide treatment (principally arabinoxylan) were obtained with the aim of identifying and characterizing fractions associated with high production of short chain fatty
The nonpathogenic (FB-2) and pathogenic (FB-D12) strains of Ustilago maydis were grown in medium supplemented with different carbon sources including monosaccharides, polysaccharides, and plant tissues. Both strains were able to grow on all substrates, with doubling times varying from 2 to 25 h
Absorbed glucose and fructose differ in that glucose largely escapes first-pass removal by the liver, whereas fructose does not, resulting in different metabolic effects of these 2 monosaccharides. In short-term controlled feeding studies, dietary fructose significantly increases postprandial
