~ntose sugar and histones have been shown to deplete from DNA and nucleohi stone (DNH) on gamma irradiation in a dose-dependent and biphasic manner in EDTA buffer while depletion of inorganic phosphorus (Pi) is a linear function of dose. In DNA, the depletion of sugar is more compared to that of Pi for 100 Gy. In DNH for 100 Gy the order of depletion is hitone > sugar> Pi . With 0.9% sodium chl...

The 2014 draft WHO sugars intake guidelines reiterate the 2003 recommendations of the Joint WHO/FAO Expert Consultation on Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of Chronic Diseases, which recommended that sugar intake should be limited to less than 10% of dietary energy intake. These new WHO draft guidelines present a stronger evidence base on the health benefits of limiting sugar intake to 10% of...

All energy scenarios show a shift toward an increased percentage of renewable energy sources, including biomass. This study gives an overview of water footprints (WFs) of bioenergy from 12 crops that currently contribute the most to global agricultural production: barley, cassava, maize, potato, rapeseed, rice, rye, sorghum, soybean, sugar beet, sugar cane, and wheat. In addition, this study in...

OBJECTIVE Evaluate the impact of stress on sugar cane cutters and the prevalence of physical and psychological symptoms before and after harvest. METHODS We studied 114 sugarcane cutters and 109 urban workers in the pre-harvest and 102 sugar cane cutters and 81 urban workers in the post-harvest period in the city of Mendonça, SP, Southeastern Brazil, in 2009. Data analysis was based on the fr...

ions at the nucleobases. The percent •OH attack probabilities to the various sugar hydrogens are shown in Figure 3.11 for model calculations in which sugar only or sugar plus base reactions are considered. In both cases, the total numbers of sugar attacks are normalized to 100%. Also plotted in Figure 3.11 are %SASA values (Rprobe = 1.2 Å and normalized only to the sugar hydrogens) and the expe...

A repeated 4×4 Latin square design was conducted with eight ileal cannulated castrates to examine the effect of source of starch and fiber on nutrient balance and energy metabolism. Pigs were fed on one of the four experimental diets: Control diet (C) mainly based on cooked rice; and diets P, S and W with the inclusion of either raw potato starch, sugar beet pulp or wheat bran supplementation, ...
