information on different rangeland plants’ nutritive values during variousphonological stages is of importance for the rangelands management. this information helpsrangeland managers to choose proper grazing times to achieve higher animal performancewith no detrimental effects on the rangeland vegetations. effects of various plant parts’phenological stages and vegetation types on reserve carboh...

This study was initiated to examine the accuracy of conventional food composition table-based estimation of intakes of energy, protein, lipid and carbohydrate, in comparison with chemical analysis. For this purpose, 66 women (at the ages of 29 to 54 years) in three locations in Jeju Island, Republic of Korea, volunteered to offer 24-hour food duplicate samples. A half of them were house-wives, ...

BACKGROUND Respiratory muscle contractile performance is impaired by diabetes, mechanisms of which included altered carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, oxidative stress and changes in membrane electrophysiology. The present study examined to what extent these cellular perturbations involve changes in gene expression. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Diaphragm muscle from streptozotocin-diabetic ...

The CD3ε and ζ cytoplasmic domains of the T cell receptor bind to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane (PM), and a previous nuclear magnetic resonance structure showed that both tyrosines of the CD3ε immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif partition into the bilayer. Electrostatic interactions between acidic phospholipids and clusters of basic CD3ε residues were previously shown to b...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the genes influencing dietary energy and nutrient intakes, despite evidence that these intakes are influenced by genetic factors. OBJECTIVE We aimed to identify, by using a genome-wide linkage analysis, chromosomal regions harboring genes that affect energy and macronutrient intakes. DESIGN Energy, carbohydrate, lipid, and protein intakes were assessed in 83...

BACKGROUND Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) have not been shown to have major effects on lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in normal-weight women. However, we have limited information about the effects on women at high risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes due to being overweight and obese. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of second and third generation contraceptive pills on lipi...

The types of fuel burned by juvenile rainbow trout (17 g) during a 58-h period of aerobic sustained exercise were studied by respirometry. Attempts to measure fuel usage by depletion (the compositional approach) in these same fish were unsuccessful due to tack of detectable changes in proximate body composition. 02 consumption, CO2 excretion, and nitrogenous waste excretion (ammonia-N plus urea...

Atypical protein kinase C (aPKC) isoforms mediate insulin effects on glucose transport in muscle and adipose tissues and lipid synthesis in liver and support other metabolic processes, expression of enzymes needed for islet insulin secretion and hepatic glucose production/release, CNS appetite suppression, and inflammatory responses. In muscle, selective aPKC deficiency impairs glucose uptake a...

Milk is considered a wholesome food and largely consumed globally. The bovine caprine are the foremost source of milk, which also played noteworthy role in social-economic development both developed under-developed countries. composition milk significantly depends upon environmental conditions, genetics, type breed, other internal external factors. protein, carbohydrate, lipid vitamin mineral c...
