OBJECTIVE To estimate the intake of refined sugar in Australian children and adolescents, aged 2-18 years. DESIGN Foods contributing to total sugar intake were identified using data from the National Nutrition Survey 1995 (NNS95), the most recent national dietary survey of the Australian population. The top 100 foods represented means of 85% (range 79-91%) and 82% (range 78-85%) of total suga...

Sugars play a variety of roles in plants, and their accumulation in seeds and/or surrounding pericarp tissues is distinctly different between grasses and eudicots. However, little is known about the evolutionary pattern of genes involved in sugar accumulation in these two major groups of flowering plants. Here, we compared evolutionary rates, gene duplication, and selective patterns of genes in...

Energy-generating sugar efJlux during the steady state The net uptake of a non-metabolized glucose analogue is linear for a few minutes and then slowly starts to level off to a plateau value because the influx of sugar is balanced by sugar efflux which is mainly catalysed by the sugar transport system. The rate of sugar exchange is very high and can be twice that of the net uptake rate. Despite...
