The present review considers the background to terminology that relates foods, glycaemia and health, including 'available carbohydrate', 'glycaemic index' (GI), 'glycaemic glucose equivalent', 'glycaemic response index' and 'net carbohydrate', and concludes that central to each of these terms is 'glycaemic load' (GL). GL represents the acute increase in exposure of tissue to glucose determined ...

Two related results are proven in the modular invariant theory of GLn(Fq ). The first is a finite field analogue of a result of Springer on coinvariants of the symmetric group Sn acting on C[x1, . . . , xn]. It asserts that the following two Fqn [GLn(Fq )×F × q ]modules have the same composition factors: • the coinvariant algebra for GLn(Fq ) acting on Fqn [x1, . . . , xn], in which GLn(Fq ) ac...

Background: Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin disease and a cosmetic problem with considerable emotional and psychological side effects and symptoms, such as pain and pruritus. Some controversies exist concerning the involvement of dietary factors, including glycemic load (GL), in the pathogenesis of acne. Accordingly, we aimed to determine the role of GL and anthropometric m...

BACKGROUND The quality and quantity of dietary carbohydrate intake, measured as dietary glycemic load (GL), are associated with a number of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and, in healthy young women, are related to increased high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) concentrations. Our objective was to determine if GL is related to hsCRP and other measures of CVD risk in a populati...

Kartenansichten auf mobilen Displays werden heute oftmals aus verschiedenen Rasterkacheln (sog. Rastertiles) zusammengesetzt, die als vorgerenderte, kleine Rasterbilder auf einem Server liegen. Entscheidende Nachteile dabei sind, dass einerseits große Datenmengen transportiert werden und andererseits, dass das Kartenbild auf verschiedenen Displays unterschiedlich dargestellt wird. Am Beispiel e...

A complex of five human cytomegalovirus virus (HCMV) proteins, gH, gL, UL128, UL130, and UL131 (gH/gL/UL128-131), is essential for virus entry into epithelial cells. We previously showed that gH/gL/UL128-131 expressed in epithelial cells interferes with subsequent HCMV entry into cells. There was no interference with only gH/gL or gB. We concluded that the expression of gH/gL/UL128-131 causes a...
