Reducing the concentration of polyamines (spermine, spermidine, and putrescine) in the body pool may slow the cancer process. Because dietary spermine, spermidine, and putrescine contribute to the body pool of polyamines, quantifying them in the diet is important. Limited information about polyamine content of food is available, especially for diets in the United States. This brief report descr...

Immature (8-mm), medium mature (11-mm), and mature green (16- and 17-mm) bean seeds (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Kentucky Wonder and Bountiful) were incubated in gibberellin A(1) solutions for 24 hours at 20 degrees . Extracts from the seeds were separated into nonacidic, acidic ethyl acetate, and acidic butanol fractions. These were chromatographed. The eluates of the chromatograms were tested o...

This two-year study compared the status of targeted nutrients in selected fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables. In addition, a novel third category was examined—a “fresh-stored” categorization intended to mimic typical consumer storage patterns of produce following purchase (five days of refrigeration). Broccoli, cauliflower, corn, green beans, green peas, spinach, blueberries, and strawberri...

Eosinophilic oesophagitis has been described in patients from all ethnic backgrounds in studies originating in all continents apart from Africa. A cohort of 8 patients (3 boys, 5 girls) identified at Red Cross Hospital during 2009-2010 is described. Average age 7 years (1yr 11 months to 15 years 10 months). Ethnicity 2 caucasian, 5 mixed, 1 Black African. Age of onset: mean 3 years, median 1 ye...

Largely due to the demand for grains for the bio-fuel industry, the cost of feed energy will increase worldwide. Therefore, alternative energy supplying pig feed ingredients should be explored, including distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), field peas, wheat shorts and liquid co-products from the bio-fuel and food industry. The inclusion of DDGS in diets is limited by the fiber concent...

Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenases (EC 1.2.1.12 and 1.2.1.13) have been purified from the seed, root, etiolated, and green shoot of peas (Pisum sativum). These enzymes are tetramers of 140,000 daltons, with subunits of 35,000 daltons. The enzymes differ in isoelectric point. The seed enzyme has a pI of 5.1, and the root enzyme has a pI of 4.5. The cytoplasmic enzyme from etiolated shoots...

Abstract Green Pea and Blueberry galaxies are well known for their compact size, low mass, strong emission lines, analogs to high- z Ly ? -emitting galaxies. In this study, 1547 [O iii ] ? 5007 emission-line with 1694 spectra selected from LAMOST DR9 at the redshift range 0.0 0.59. According distribution, these samples can be separated into three groups: Blueberries, Peas, Purple Grapes. Optica...
