OBJECTIVES There is no consensus on the most effective pain management for neonatal circumcision. We sought to compare different modalities. METHODS This is a double-blinded randomized controlled trial comparing 3 combination analgesics used during circumcision (EMLA + sucrose; EMLA + sucrose + dorsal penile nerve block [DPNB]; EMLA + sucrose + ring block [RB]) with the traditional topical an...

Iodine biofortification of vegetables can become an alternative (to iodized salt) method of introducing this element into human diet. Development of agronomic rules concerning its application requires detailed evaluation of iodine influence on plant physiological and biological processes including mineral nutrition and quality of yield. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of iodine...

gerbera one of 10 important cut flowers in the world and iran. one of the most problems is low-life after harvest and neck bending. producers want to increase longevity of these flowers with using chemical solutions. with the aim of achieving the best chemical treatments to increase flower vase life gerbera goodtimming, nano silver (5 mg l-1), humic acid (50 mg l-1), gibberellic acid (2.5 mg l-...

BACKGROUND The study of NAFLD in humans has several limitations. Using murine models helps to understand disease pathogenesis. AIM Evaluate the impact of 4 different diets in the production of NAFLD with emphasis on a combined high-fat plus sustained high sucrose consumption. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eight week-old male Wistar rats were divided in four groups and fed for 90 days with the follow...

In this study, we propagated two old Galician plum varieties in liquid medium using a temporary immersion system with RITA© bioreactors. Environmental variables including culture system, light intensity, CO2 enrichment, frequency and sucrose supplementation were evaluated relation to vitro proliferation, physiological status ex performance. Bioreactors superior jars for culturing shoots photomi...

Rat hepatic cytosolic proteins which sediment at 4-5 S on sucrose gradients exhibit high-affinity saturable binding for the carcinogen 3-methylcholanthrene. A rat liver protein of Stokes' radius 3 nm, Mr by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of 39,000 and with specific 3-methylcholanthrene-binding activity sedimenting at 4.5 S, has been purified 315-fold to apparent homo...

Sucrose concentration of sugarbeets (Beta vulgaris L.) grown in the U.S. varies over a wide range of 10 to 20 percent. Within a climatic zone such as tration varies over a narrower 20 percent. This variation in southern Idaho, sucrose concenbut still wide range of 14 to sucrose concentration is due to many factors that include variety (19, 24, 26), nitrogen (N) level (18, 23), growth patterns o...

Consumers' awareness about the nutritional profile of their diets has made the industry to respond their needs seriously. In this study, response surface methodology was used to analyze the effect of three fat replacers and two sweeteners on sensory attributes and viscosity of low- calorie pistachio butter. Balangu seed extract (BSG) (0.01-0.04), Reihan seed gum (RSG) (0.01-0.023), xanthan (0.0...

1. A method is given whereby the course of hydrolysis of sucrose by live yeast cells may be followed with precision equal to that found when invertase solutions prepared from autolyzed yeast are used to cause inversion. 2. The practical value of the equation of Nelson and Hitchcock as a means of following the course of enzymic hydrolysis of sucrose is hereby extended. 3. The inversion of sucros...

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) has been shown to decrease consummatory responsiveness of rats to high sucrose concentrations, and genetic deletion of glucagon-like-1-peptide-receptors (GLP-1R) has been shown to decrease consummatory responsiveness of mice to low sucrose concentrations. Here we assessed the effects of RYGB and pharmacological GLP-1R modulation on sucrose licking by chow...
