Over half the insulin we produce after a meal depends on the release of incretin hormones from the gut. Most notable among these are glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Indeed, the action of GLP-1 on pancreatic islet cells is responsible for the underlying success of GLP-1 mimetics and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors for the treatment of typ...

Background & Aim:   Changes in lifestyle, decrease in physical exercise along with incidence of obesity, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases indicate a need for low calorie formulations. The sweetness of Stevia, a natural sweetener, is estimated to be 300 times as much as that of sugar. Extraction of stevia leaves is considered a promoter of calorie balance and a beneficial part of a healt...

Chinese mitten crabs ( Eriocheir sinensis ) are traditionally fed iced trash fish, but the industry is facing problems such as low breeding safety. Black soldier fly Hermetia illucens an alternative protein source in animal diets, including diets for aquatic animals, due to its high nutritional value. However, studies on effects of black flavor characteristics animals still limited. In present ...

The demand for non-calorigenic protein-based sweeteners with favorable taste properties is high. The optimal design of such sweeteners requires knowledge about structure–function relationships and the identification of chemical entities that trigger the sweetness response. Among the known, naturally occurring, sweet-tasting proteins, brazzein has properties that make it particularly attractive ...

Commercial cultivation of blueberry has rapidly expanded in China recent years. However, suboptimal fertilization results poor growth and management practices orchards. The present study studied southern highbush southwest China. We evaluated the effects inorganic nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium fertilizers at different doses. Plant vegetative growth, leaf photosynthesis parameters, fruit quali...

We appreciate the insightful comments by Grotz and Jokinen (1) regarding our study (2) that found that ingesting sucralose affects the metabolic response to subsequent glucose ingestion. Grotz and Jokinen imply that the greater increase in peak plasma glucose concentration during the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) after sucralose than water ingestion was not clinically important because the...
