Endurance athletes commonly consume carbohydrate-electrolyte sports beverages during prolonged events. The benefits of this strategy are numerous--sports-beverage consumption during exercise can delay dehydration, maintain blood glucose levels, and potentially attenuate muscle glycogen depletion and central fatigue. Thus, it is generally agreed that carbohydrate-electrolyte beverages can improv...

Carbohydrate intolerance has been shown to be common during and immediately following an episode of diarrhea, particularly in infancy and childhood. When these infants and children are maintained on diets with high concentrations of a specific carbohydrate or class of carbohydrates, the symptoms will continue and often increase in severity. On removal of the carbohydrate(s) from their diet for ...

The concept of a more liberal attitude towards carbohydrate consumption in diabetics is almost as old as the discovery of insulin. Indeed, some of the most elegant studies in this respect were performed by Himsworth (1933). Since then, Kempner has fed rice diets to insulin-requiring diabetics with a large measure of success (Kempner et al. 1958), and these contained over 90% of all energy in ca...

OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to test the association between high and low carbohydrate diets and obesity, and second, to test the link between total carbohydrate intake (as a percentage of total energy intake) and obesity. SETTING, PARTICIPANTS AND OUTCOME MEASURES We sought MEDLINE, PubMed and Google Scholar for observation studies published between January 1990 and December 2016 asses...

Com mo Carbohydrate recognition is particularly interesting because of its important role in biological systems. Carbohydrate recognition is known to mediate cell-cell recognition, including infection of cells by pathogens, the distribution and reactivity of proteins within cells, and many aspects of the immune response. However, carbohydrate recognition by natural systems is still poorly under...

Introduction Increasing attention is being directed to the relationship between carbohydrate consumption and cardiovascular disease. However, the principle focus is largely upon obvious disturbances in carbohydrate me­ tabolism (e.g. diabetes mellitus) and clas­ sical evidence of cardiovascular pathosis (i.e. ischemic heart disease). Because of their chronicity, this report is designed to relat...

Multivalent carbohydrate–lectin interactions are essential for a multitude of biological recognition events. Much effort has been spent in the synthesis of potent multivalent scaffolds in order to mimic or inhibit biological carbohydrate–protein interactions. However, the defined spatial presentation of carbohydrates remained a challenging task. Peptide nucleic acid (PNA)and DNA-based double he...

background: stroke is a leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in the united states. numerous studies have shown that dietary carbohydrates play an important role in stroke incident. therefore, this study aimed to assess the association between dietary intake of carbohydrate and its types and stroke incidence among iranian adults. methods: a case‑control study was performed among ...

about a decade ago, carbohydrate mouth rinsing was shown to enhance endurance exercise performance. this improvement was more pronounced in a fasted compared to a fed state, suggesting that the ergogenic effect of carbohydrate mouth rinse is dependent on endogenous carbohydrate storage. hence, indirectly highlights the potential use of carbohydrate mouth rinse as a potential strategy to mitigat...
