BACKGROUND "Sleep-low" consists of a sequential periodization of carbohydrate (CHO) availability-low glycogen recovery after "train high" glycogen-depleting interval training, followed by an overnight-fast and light intensity training ("train low") the following day. This strategy leads to an upregulation of several exercise-responsive signaling proteins, but the chronic effect on performance h...

The Cho-Faddeev-Niemi-Shabanov decomposition of the SU~2! Yang-Mills field is employed for the calculation of the corresponding Wilsonian effective action to one-loop order with covariant gauge fixing. The generation of a mass scale is observed, and the flow of the marginal couplings is studied. Our results indicate that higher-derivative terms of the color-unit-vector n field are necessary for...

FMRFamide and FMRFamide-related neuropeptides are extremely widespread and abundant in invertebrates and have numerous important functions. Here, we have cloned a Drosophila orphan receptor, and stably expressed it in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Screening of a peptide library revealed that the receptor reacted with high affinity to FMRFamide (EC50, 6 x 10(-9) M). The intrinsic Drosophila FMRFa...

Reduced host cell reactivation (HCR) of a reporter gene containing 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) lesions in Cockayne syndrome (CS) fibroblasts has previously been attributed to increased 8-oxoG-mediated inhibition of transcription resulting from a deficiency in repair. This interpretation has been challenged by a report suggesting reduced expression from an 8-oxoG containing reporter gene occurs in all...

Non-decoupling effects of heavy particles present in beyond-the-standard models are studied for the triple gauge boson vertices γWW and ZWW. We show from a general argument that the non-decoupling effects are described by four independent parameters, in comparison with the three parameters S, T and U in the oblique corrections. These four parameters of the effective triple gauge boson vertices ...

We have developed a method for permeabilizing CHO cells to nucleotides under conditions which allow most cells to remain viable. Permeabilized cells can carry out ATP-dependent, semiconservative synthesis of DNA. The data are consistent with the continuation of DNA synthesis in those cells in S phase at the time of treatment, possibly limited to completion of replicon synthesis without new init...

The aim of the study was to investigate the pre- and during-race nutritional intake of cyclists competing in a 210-km 1-day ultraendurance cycle race. Forty-five endurance-trained male cyclists participated in this dietary survey and completed a 3-day dietary record. Mean reported carbohydrate (CHO) intake over the 3 days before the race (5.6 +/- 1.7 g/kg) was below the recommended guidelines o...

Four commercial samples of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) were sieved. All sieved fractions except for the pan fraction, constituting about 90% of original mass, were then winnowed with an air blast seed cleaner. Sieving was effective in producing fractions with varying composition. As the particle size decreased, protein and ash contents increased, and total carbohydrate (CHO) de...

A heat-conditioning treatment of 10 mm at 45°followed by 370 incubation resulted in maximal thermotolerance 8 hr later. The D@of the heat survival curve increased from 4.5 mm (control) to 19.8 mm at 45°.Two heat-conditioning treatments (10 mm at 45°+ 4 hr at 37°+ 15 mm at 45°)resulted in a higher thermotolerance maximum (D@= 26.7 mm) 8 hr after the second • conditioning treatment. In com...
