objective: many agronomic practices may need to be adjusted to maximize yield and quality of sugar beet. thus agronomic package must be always modified. this sutdy was laid out for evaluation of changes in carbohydrates and sugar yield in sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) under different biofertilizers and irrigation closed time at dorud region of iran, during 2013. methods: the experimental design...

an investigation was carried out to reveal the changes in the concentration of soluble carbohydrates under tuber dormancy in food yam (dioscorea esculenta) tubers and in an economically important spice cum medicinal plant turmeric (curcuma longa) rhizomes under storage. harvested, fully matured tubers of yam and rhizomes of turmeric were stored in wooden boxes under the conditions of 28 ? 2?c t...

one of the most effective ways to propagate lilium is by using tissue culture techniques, preferably through bulblet production. in addition to the surviving percentage of lilium bulbs after transplantation, the small size of in vitro bulblets compared to commercial bulbs and bulblets‟ dormancy are the most important constraints to commercializing lilium micropropagation. different concentratio...

Maintenance of carbohydrate balance via changes in CO2 output volume was investigated in locusts using a flow-through respirometer. The effect of an imbalance in the dietary protein to digestible carbohydrate ratio on expired CO2 levels was measured in locusts fed one of two synthetic diets [7% protein, 21% digestible carbohydrate (7:21) and 21% protein, 7% digestible carbohydrate (21:7)]. Addi...

Carbohydrates in biological systems are often associated with specific recognition and signaling processes leading to important biological functions and diseases. Considerable efforts have been directed toward understanding and mimicking the recognition processes and developing effective agents to control the processes. The pace of discovery research in glycobiology and development of carbohydr...

Self-control is critical for achievement and well-being. However, people's capacity for self-control is limited and becomes depleted through use. One prominent explanation for this depletion posits that self-control consumes energy through carbohydrate metabolization, which further suggests that ingesting carbohydrates improves self-control. Some evidence has supported this energy model, but be...

Background: Postexercise muscle glycogen synthesis is an important factor in determining the time needed to recover from prolonged exercise. Objective: This study investigated whether an increase in carbohydrate intake, ingestion of a mixture of protein hydrolysate and amino acids in combination with carbohydrate, or both results in higher postexercise muscle glycogen synthesis rates than does ...

Low-carbohydrate diets for weight loss are receiving a lot of attention of late. Reasons for this interest include a plethora of low-carbohydrate diet books, the over-sensationalism of these diets in the media and by celebrities, and the promotion of these diets in fitness centres and health clubs. The re-emergence of low-carbohydrate diets into the spotlight has lead many people in the general...
