ty.i・2) The retardation of membrane-bound AGH reaction3} andlor inhibition of passive glucose transport`) would successfully flatten the postprandial blood glucose excursions or reduce hyperglycemia. In our studies on AGH inhibition by food components,5,6) acylated anthocyanins were found to cause the benefit of suppression of glucose production from dietary carbohydrates. To date, many studies...

We report here the isolation of alpha-glucosidase (AGH) inhibitory peptides derived from sardine muscle hydrolyzate, which was prepared by digestion with Bacillus licheniformis alkaline protease. As a result of reversed-phase HPLC purification, two AGH inhibitory peptides were isolated from a DEAE-Sephadex A-25 column eluate. The peptides were identified as follows: Val-Trp (IC50 = 22.6 mM) and...

Plants have evolved complex biochemical mechanisms to counter threats from insect herbivory. Recent research has revealed an important role of roots in plant responses to above ground herbivory (AGH). The involvement of roots is integral to plant resistance and tolerance mechanisms. Roots not only play an active role in plant defenses by acting as sites for biosynthesis of various toxins and bu...

OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the clinical phenotype of adolescent/adult patients with cystic fibrosis, according to heterozygosity or homozygosity for cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) deltaF508 mutation, and to analyze their characteristics according to glucose tolerance status. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 76 cystic fibrosis patients with CFTR deltaF508 mutation (...
