This systematic review addresses the question: In the modern age of extensive fluoride exposure, do individuals with a high level of sugar intake experience greater caries severity relative to those with a lower level of intake? The MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched for English-language papers published between 1980 and 2000 using a search expression developed in conjunction with an ex...

The Escherichia coli lactose carrier is an energy-transducing H+/galactoside cotransport protein which strictly couples sugar and proton transport in 1:1 stoichiometry. Here we describe five lactose carrier mutants which catalyze "uncoupled" sugar-independent H+ transport. Symptoms similar to uncoupling by a proton ionophore have been observed in cells expressing these mutant carriers. The muta...

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects nearly 10% of children in the United States, and the prevalence of this disorder has increased steadily over the past decades. The cause of ADHD is unknown, although recent studies suggest that it may be associated with a disruption in dopamine signaling whereby dopamine D2 receptors are reduced in reward-related brain regions. This same p...

The addition of sucrose to insecticides targeting spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), enhanced lethality in laboratory, semifield, and field tests. In the laboratory, 0.1% sucrose added to a spray solution enhanced spotted wing drosophila feeding. Flies died 120 min earlier when exposed to spinosad residues at label rates enhanced with sucrose. Added sucrose reduced the LC5...

analogues is true as exemplified by the studies focused upon the use of sugar conjugation: glycosylated compounds can greatly enhance drug solubility (upto >2 folds) and enhance uptake in vitro [7]. As the motive in various modifications of flavonoids is to increase the stability and biological activity, and most of the glycosylated products showed only the increase in solubility and lack of pr...

Sugar is an important commodity in the African context, and there are numerous challenges and opportunities that exist in Africa for that industry. Africa is quite a big place and it encompasses a large number of different countries, cultures, weather patterns and soil variety. I will restrict my presentation to the area which is know as the Southern African Development Community (SADC), which ...

The Western diet characterized by high fat and sugar is considered a risk factor for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) such as colitis. However, the precise role of in colitis pathogenesis poorly understood. We, therefore, investigated glucose, simple sugar, using IBD susceptible Il10-/- mice. We fed healthy 14-week old mice with 10% glucose drinking water 5 week monitored body weight changes. S...

This study was carried out on fruit of local orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) grown at private orchard Diyala governorate / Iraq, to the effect dipped fruits for 10 min in (0, 1, 2, 3% citric acid, 5 and 10% ginger) quality during 65- 105-days cold storage 5+1 with 85- 90% RH. Dipping acid solution reduced fruit's weight loss decay. Ginger extract significantly reserved acidity, total sugar s...
