A total of 1752 strains of osrnophilic yeasts were isolated from honey and po]]ens. Fody-three strains Gf esmophilic yeasts produced po]yols, among whieh 6 strains produced erythritol in good yields. On the other hand, 52 osmophilic yeasts converted sucrose te fin]etooligosaccharides, among which 8 strains produced both extra and intracel]ular P-fructofuranosidase, which conyerted sucrose to fr...

In rat mammary carcinoma, 2 types of cytoplasmic estradiol-binding sites, A and B, are present. The A sites are excluded on Sephadex G-100 chromatography, sediment at 8 S and 4 S in a low-ionic-strength sucrose gradient or at 4 S alone in a high-ionic-strength sucrose gradient, and form an insoluble complex with protamine sulfate. They have a very high affinity for estradiol (Kd ~ 1.2 X IO"10 M...

This study investigated the effect of carbohydrate (CHO) ingestion on postexercise glycogen resynthesis, measured simultaneously in liver and muscle (n = 6) by (13)C magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and subsequent exercise capacity (n = 10). Subjects cycled at 70% maximal oxygen uptake for 83 +/- 8 min on six separate occasions. At the end of exercise, subjects ingested 1 g/kg body mass (BM) gl...

OBJECTIVE Iron therapy may reinforce intestinal inflammation by catalysing production of reactive oxygen species. The effects of oral ferrous fumarate and intravenous iron sucrose on clinical disease activity and plasma redox status were investigated in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). MATERIAL AND METHODS Nineteen patients with iron deficiency anaemia and Crohn's disease (11) ...

tuberose (polianthes tuberosa l.) is an important commercial cut flower that has a short vase life. an experiment was carried out by using five different levels of humic acid (ha) (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg l-1) and seven different levels of silver nano-particles (snp) (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mg l-1) mixed with 1.5% sucrose on cut tuberosa cv. single flower. the loss of fresh weight on third ...

We have examined the mechanism of the carbohydrate induction of rat hepatic mRNA-S14 to the intragastric administration of sucrose and its constituent hexoses, fructose and glucose. A maximal sucrose response (26-fold) was obtained with 2 ml of 60% sucrose/100 g of body weight, yet equimolar concentrations of fructose and glucose were not able to reproduce the response. Fructose yielded less th...

Two experiments compared the potency of continuous infusions of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) for reducing sucrose intake when administered into abdominal arteries or the jugular vein. Adult, male Sprague-Dawley rats received 22-min infusions of saline or several doses of CCK-8. Sucrose was available for 20 min, beginning 2 min after onset of infusions. In the first experiment, intracelia...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES In Egypt, Phlebotomus papatasi is the main vector of cutaneous leishmaniasis. In nature, P. papatasi feeds on blood from different hosts and sucrose (other sugars) mainly from fig fruits. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of three food regimes on the life table parameters of females mainly the life expectancy as a factor determining the fly's capability fo...

We have developed a program to connect students, as well as the general public, with glass science in the modern world through a series of hands-on activities and learning experiences using sucrose based glass (a.k.a. hard candy). The scientific content of these experiments progresses systematically, providing an environment to develop an understanding of glassy materials within a framework of ...
