Information on quality characteristics of forage species help the range managers to select a suitable grazing program that minimizes the damages to vegetation. Water Soluble Carbohydrates (WSC) -the main photosynthetic products- are stored in various plant parts and are more likely to be consumed when plants require them. In order to investigate the changes of WSC in distinguishable organs in t...

This model is built by considering the utilization rate of nitrogen as the first step in calculating the rate of growth of the various organs of a grass crop. The amount of carbohydrate determines whether there are sufficient carbon skeletons and sufficient energy available to support synthesis of new material. Growth of roots, tillers}stems and leaves is simulated with leaf divided into photos...

Digestion of preparations of insoluble collagen of guinea fraction, “soluble collagen,” decreased with the age of the animal (2) have led to a considerable interest in the chemical basis of this “aging” phenomenon. The concept of the progressive formation, extracellularly, of covalent cross-links in collagen fibrils has recently received direct support from the reports of Bornstein, Kang, and P...

The effect of feeding damages induced by the leaf folder, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Guenee) at various damage levels on biochemical parameters rice leaves was investigated along with estimation roll rate. rate shown to be higher as pest population increased. Biochemical profile damaged a folder studied for quantitative and qualitative variations in soluble carbohydrate, starch ratio chlorophyll...

It is widely held that herbivore growth and production is limited by dietary nitrogen (N) that in turn constrains ecosystem elemental cycling. Yet, emerging evidence suggests that this conception of limitation may be incomplete, because chronic predation risk heightens herbivore metabolic rate and shifts demand from N-rich proteins to soluble carbohydrate-carbon (C). Because soluble C can be li...

In a randomized, balanced, crossover study each of six fit, adult horses ran on a treadmill at 50% of maximal rate of oxygen consumption for 60 min after being denied access to food for 18 h and then 1) fed corn (51.4 kJ/kg digestible energy), or 2) fed an isocaloric amount of alfalfa 2-3 h before exercise, or 3) not fed before exercise. Feeding corn, compared with fasting, resulted in higher p...

Stem cell factor (SCF) is a recently described factor active in the early stages of hematopoiesis. It can exist in membrane-bound form and in proteolytically released soluble form. The levels and nature of SCF in human serum are described. As determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay performed for 257 samples, SCF level in serum averaged 3.3 +/- 1.1 ng/mL. The serum SCF was partially p...

Traditionally, filamentous fungi and actinomycetes are well-known cellulolytic microorganisms that have been utilized in the commercial production of cellulase enzyme cocktails for industrial-scale degradation plant biomass. Noticeably, Ktedonobacteria lineage (phylum Chloroflexi) with actinomycetes-like morphology was identified exhibited diverse carbohydrate utilization or abilities. In this ...

S TUDIES of the chemical nature of prothrombin have indicated a glycoprotein structure.2 Data obtained on purified bovine prothrombin have shown the reducing sugar content to be approximately 5 per cent, based on a reference standard of galactose and mannose.35 Laki et al.5 reported a value of 6.5 per cent in terms of glucose, and 1.6 to 1.7 per cent hexosamine. Alexander6 and colleagues observ...

In this review, a comprehensive overview of advances in the supramolecular complexes of carbohydrates and poorly soluble drugs is presented. Through the complexation process, poorly soluble drugs could be efficiently delivered to their desired destinations. Carbohydrates, the most abundant biomolecules, have diverse physicochemical properties owing to their inherent three-dimensional structures...
