Oral administration of Embelia ribes berries (50% EtoH) reduced blood sugar level significantly. In intact rats, blood sugar levels were decreased by 13.1% and 20.3% after 3 hrs. and 5 hrs. of treatment respectively. While in alloxan induced diabetic rats blood glucose levels were decreased after 3 hours and 5hours by 28.1% and 34.5% respectively. Hypoglycaemic action of Embelia ribes berries m...

It has been reported "that nifedipline raises the blood sugar level in human volunteers (\). The effect of nifedipine on blodd sugar is not dose dependent (2). Experiments have therefore been performed to investigate long term effect of nifedipine in large dose on the histology of the heart, liver, kidney and pancreas as well as to ascertain whether morphological changes of the beta cells of th...

In an increasingly competitive business environment characterized by more globalization, deregulation and technological advances, companies have been looking for ways of differentiating their products and services and also rethinking their business model through leaner operations and reduced costs. In this context, a new practice that has recently gained a lot of attention is the offshore outso...

This experiment used the attraction effect to test the hypothesis that ingestion of sugar can reduce reliance on intuitive, heuristic-based decision making. In the attraction effect, a difficult choice between two options is swayed by the presence of a seemingly irrelevant "decoy" option. We replicated this effect and the finding that the effect increases when people have depleted their mental ...

Four different soluble fibres were evaluated as sugar replacers in short dough biscuits: two resistant dextrins (Nutriose® FM06 and Promitor® SGF 70R) inulin-derived (Orafti® HSI Fibruline™ Instant). The degree of polymerisation the was analysed, viscoelastic properties assessed. Weight loss during baking, dimensions, textural properties, surface colour sensory profile evaluated. Higher (e.g. F...

The options and prospects for the direct production of white sugar in a cane sugar mill are reviewed. Plantation white sugar has been made for many years in some countries but cannot meet the requirements for refined sugars. These low colour sugars are now a popular quality raw sugar for the increasing number of destination refineries. Attainment of refined sugar standards needs the application...

BACKGROUND Substituting sugar-free for sugar-sweetened beverages reduces weight gain. This effect may be more pronounced in children with a high body mass index (BMI) because their sensing of kilocalories might be compromised. We investigated the impact of sugar-free versus sugary drinks separately in children with a higher and a lower initial BMI z score, and predicted caloric intakes and degr...

Diabetes mellitus often referred to simply as diabetes is a syndrome of disordered metabolism, usually due combination hereditary and environmental causes, resulting in abnormally high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). The purpose the present study find out effect yogic practices with without diet modifications on FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar) among Aged Diabetic women. conducted 120 women, rando...
