Summary Background & aims Breastfeeding is the gold standard infant feeding. Data on macronutrients in relation to longitudinal body composition and appetite are very scarce. The aim of this study was investigate human milk at 1 3 months association with during early life healthy, term-born infants. We hypothesized that infants receiving higher caloric would have more fat mass satiate earlier. ...

It was widely believed that the most diet" with carbohydrate comprising 60 important principle of the diabetic diet percent of the total energy (Table 1). was to restrict carbohydrate intake. This When our patients subsisted on this principle was also followed in India diet for periods up to 10 years, we found through the 1950s. The typical diabetic that, contrary to existing beliefs, the cardi...

Despite decades of research on plant drought tolerance, the physiological mechanisms by which trees succumb to drought are still under debate. We report results from an experiment designed to separate and test the current leading hypotheses of tree mortality. We show that piñon pine (Pinus edulis) trees can die of both hydraulic failure and carbon starvation, and that during drought, the loss o...

Three zygotic developmental stages and two somatic Araucaria angustifolia cell lines with contrasting embryogenic potential were analyzed to identify the carbohydrate-mediated responses associated with embryo formation. Using a comparison between zygotic and somatic embryogenesis systems, the non-structural carbohydrate content, cell wall sugar composition and expression of genes involved in su...
