Transient waterlogging occurs frequently in the Yangtze River and adversely affects cotton fiber quality. However, the carbohydrate metabolic mechanism that affects fiber quality after waterlogging remains undescribed. Here, the effects of five waterlogging levels (0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 days) were assessed during flowering and boll formation to characterize the carbohydrates, enzymes and genes tha...

BACKGROUND The relation between carbohydrate intake and risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) has not been fully explored in Asian populations known to have high-carbohydrate diets. OBJECTIVE We assessed whether intakes of total carbohydrates, different types of carbohydrates, and their food sources were associated with IHD mortality in a Chinese population. DESIGN We prospectively examined ...

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of four nitrogen treatments (50, 100, 150 and 200 Kg urea / ha) on biomass, crude protein, soluble carbohydrates and crude fiber contents in three fodders (corn, sweet sorghum and sweet sorghum bagasse) at the filed experimental station. The results showed the effects of nitrogen treatments and fodders on the above measurements were significant...

BACKGROUND Insulin resistance (IR) and liver steatosis (LS) are interlinked metabolic derangements whose prevalence is rapidly increasing, but the effect of dietary carbohydrate quality on LS is unknown. OBJECTIVE The objective was to describe the relation of IR and LS to total carbohydrate, total dietary fiber, and the glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load of the diet. DESIGN The study was...

BACKGROUND Carbohydrate quality may be an important determinant of type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, relations between various carbohydrate quality metrics and T2D risk have not been systematically investigated. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to prospectively examine the association between carbohydrates, starch, fibers, and different combinations of these nutrients and risk of T2D in ...

The Nutrition Labeling Education Act of 1990 (NLEA) mandates significant reform of food labels and requires extensive chemical testing and analytical method development to implement. Many minerals and nutrient metals are targeted for labeling. Part of the analytical challenge to be met results from the large numbers of samples to be tested and widely divergent levels of the elements of interest...

We aimed to prospectively examine the association between the glycemic index and glycemic load of foods consumed and the dietary intakes of carbohydrates, sugars, fiber, and principal carbohydrate-containing food groups (eg, breads, cereals, and sugary drinks) with changes in blood pressure during adolescence. A total of 858 students aged 12 years at baseline (422 girls and 436 boys) were exami...

Corn (Zea mays L.) fiber, which is the seed coat and residual endosperm left after grain processing, is a low-value residue that contains carbohydrates and aromatic compounds that could provide value-added coproducts. Treatment of corn fiber with NaOH and assessment by gas chromatography indicated a prevalence of ferulic acid, with about 90% ester-linked in the cell walls. p-coumaric acid was m...

information on different rangeland plants’ nutritive values during variousphonological stages is of importance for the rangelands management. this information helpsrangeland managers to choose proper grazing times to achieve higher animal performancewith no detrimental effects on the rangeland vegetations. effects of various plant parts’phenological stages and vegetation types on reserve carboh...

Diets used to induce metabolic disease are generally high in fat and refined carbohydrates and importantly, are usually made with refined, purified ingredients. However, researchers will often use a low fat grain-based (GB) diet containing unrefined ingredients as the control diet. Such a comparison between two completely different diet types makes it impossible to draw conclusions regarding th...
