If the reader would integrate the intermediary metabolism of lipids with that of carbohydrates let him read, albeit in reverse direction, Dr. Peters' chapters on lipids and carbohydrate in Grollman's text,' the article on "The interrelations of foodstuffs in metabolism" in the 1951 Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine,' the chapter on lipids in the 1946 edition of Quantitative clinical chemistr...

An investigation of the glycoproteins of gastric mucus from biopsies of patients with gastric cancer has shown a change in certain carbohydrate components. There is a significant increase (P less than 0-001) in mannose and a significant decrease in N-acetylgalactosamine in both secretors and non-secretors from cancer-free and cancer-bearing regions of the stomach as compared with normal stomach...

introduction: the correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions (rvef and lvef, respectively) has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in rvef and lvef. the aim of the present study was to compare lvef and rvef in patients with ischemic heart disease. rvef and lvef were measured by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (cmr) imaging. materials a...

S TUDIES of the chemical nature of prothrombin have indicated a glycoprotein structure.2 Data obtained on purified bovine prothrombin have shown the reducing sugar content to be approximately 5 per cent, based on a reference standard of galactose and mannose.35 Laki et al.5 reported a value of 6.5 per cent in terms of glucose, and 1.6 to 1.7 per cent hexosamine. Alexander6 and colleagues observ...

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to determine molecular structures related to carbohydrates and lipid in alfalfa hay cut at early bud, late bud and early flower and in the afternoon and next morning using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT/IR) and to determine their relationship with alfalfa hay nutrient profile and availability in ruminants. METHODS Chemical composition analysis, ...

The data presented in this paper clearly indicate that the isolated carbohydrate and nucleoprotein constituents of Pneumococcus differ both serologically and antigenically one from the other. Moreover, each of these fractions of the cell separately exhibits immunological properties distinct from those manifested by the whole organism of which they form a part. The carbohydrate is a protein-free...

The presence of biologically active compounds in the neuronal tissues of the mango leaf webber, O. exvinacea that can influence lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolism were investigated. The activity of the brainretrocerebral complex extract tested in vivo in the polyphagous plant bug, Iphita limbata (heterologous bioassay) revealed that the extract and also the synthetic peptide, Locmi-AKH-...

Bryothamnion seaforthii, a red alga common to the Northeastern coast of Brazil, was used to prepare the protein fraction F0/60 by ammonium sulfate precipitation. The chromatography of F0/60 on DEAE-Sephadel column resulted in two lectin fractions, PI and PII, which have antinociceptive properties in rodents. We determined the antinociceptive activity of the PII fraction and of a carbohydrate-co...
