it is believed that the inhibition of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes including α-amylase and α-glucosidase is one of the therapeutic approaches to decrease the postprandial glucose level after a meal, especially in the people with type 2 diabetes. medicinal plants and their extracts are one of the main sources to find new inhibitors to the enzymes. in our study four flavonoids, namely luteoli...

Abstract Fructan-type polysaccharidescomes from natural sources and occur in a large variety of plants, where they play important biological roles as reserve carbohydrate. One the most commonly distributed compound this group – inulin has been part human daily diet for hundreds years, it is found many fruits vegetables, among others, bananas, onions wheat. The inulin-type fructans: fructooligos...

about a decade ago, carbohydrate mouth rinsing was shown to enhance endurance exercise performance. this improvement was more pronounced in a fasted compared to a fed state, suggesting that the ergogenic effect of carbohydrate mouth rinse is dependent on endogenous carbohydrate storage. hence, indirectly highlights the potential use of carbohydrate mouth rinse as a potential strategy to mitigat...

The management of postprandial hyperglycemia is an important strategy in the control of diabetes mellitus and complications associated with the disease, especially in the diabetes type 2. Therefore, inhibitors of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes can be useful in the treatment of diabetes and medicinal plants can offer an attractive strategy for the purpose. Vaccinium arctostaphylos leaves are c...

background: cercariae (larva of helminth parasites) are covered by a thick glycocalyx coat, which serves as an osmotic pro­tection during their free existence, and contain carbohydrates conjugated as glycoproteins, glycolipids and mu­co­polysaccharides. although, limited studies have been made on life cycle of cercariae from fresh water snails, however, car­bo­hydrate studies on cercariae have ...

background: fascioliasis is a chronic hepatic disease and may be resulted from mechani­cal/molecular parasite adhesion to host liver tissue. the aim of this study was to detect surface car­bohydrate and lectin, carbohydrate-binding protein isolation that might be responsible of this molecular binding. methods: the present experimental work was conducted in the department of medical parasitol­og...

The Active Low-Carber Forums (ALCF) is an on-line support group started in 2000 which currently has more than 86,000 members. Data collected from posts to the forum and from an on-line survey were used to determine the behavior and attitudes of people on low carbohydrate diets. Members were asked to complete a voluntary 27-item questionnaire over the internet. Our major findings are as follows:...
