The objective of this work was to evaluate the nutritional parameters of young bulls supplemented with different ratios of protein: carbohydrate on tropical pastures from 4 until 18 months old. Fifty-five non-castrated beef calves (138.3±3.4 kg, 90 to 150 d of age) were used. The calves (young bulls) were subjected to a 430-d experimental period encompassing 4 seasons. The treatments were as fo...

Background. Oropharyngeal receptors signal presence of carbohydrate to the brain. Mouth rinses with a carbohydrate solution facilitate corticomotor output and improve time-trial performance in well-trained subjects in a fasted state. We tested for this effect in nonathletic subjects in fasted and nonfasted state. Methods. 13 healthy non-athletic males performed 5 tests on a cycle ergometer. Aft...

Premise Many perennial herbaceous plants develop underground storage organs (USOs) that store carbohydrates, water, and minerals. The resprouting ability of is influenced by the availability these materials type organ number viable buds. In this study, we illustrate diversity longleaf pine savanna species their nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) pools concentrations. We also determined whether NS...

The picture is one of a true diabetes mellitus, first attracting attention after miscarriage. Although the G : N ratio sank from 3 : 1 on 10 gm. of nitrogen to 1.7 : 1 after 3 days' fasting, the disease progressed steadily in spite of a long continued carbohydrate-free diet. Together with the usual complications of diabetes, a malignant tumor of the thymus developed, so that after 5 months' obs...

1. New preparations of reduced carboxymethylated /3-ovomucin (S-carboxymethylf,-ovomucin) were homogeneous by sedimentation analysis, analytical sedimentation to equilibrium in CsCI gradients, and disc electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate. 2. Degradation of S-carboxymethyl-f/-ovomucin with either CNBr or trypsin indicated the presence of a subunit (approx. mol.wt. 112300). 3. Electron mic...

calcifying fibrous tumor (cft) is a rare mesenchymal tumor, affecting children and young adults with a predilection for the soft tissue and the abdominal cavity. cft of the tubular gastrointestinal tract is very rare with less than 20 cases of gastric cfts reported in english literature. this benign hypocellular fibrosclerotic calcifying lesion can resemble other spindle cell tumors particularl...

fibrous dysplasia (fd) is an osseous growth dis-order, producing immature bone and characte-rized by the replacement of normal bone with fibro-osseous connective tissue. it is a bone dys-plasia that has the potential to cause significant cosmetic and functional disturbances, particularly in the craniofacial skeleton. cra-niofacial fibrous dysplasia is one of the three types of polyostotic fibro...
