Toxoplasma gondii Requires Glycogen Phosphorylase for Balancing Amylopectin Storage and for Efficient Production of Brain Cysts [PDF]

mBio, 2017
In immunocompromised hosts, latent infection with Toxoplasma gondii can reactivate from tissue cysts, leading to encephalitis. A characteristic of T. gondii bradyzoites in tissue cysts is the presence of amylopectin granules.

Relationship between intrinsic viscosity, thermal and retrogradation properties of amylose and amylopectin [PDF]

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2014
The relationships between intrinsic viscosity and some properties of amylose and amylopectin were investigated. The intrinsic viscosities determined by Ubbelohde viscometer for rice, maize, wrinkled pea and potato amyloses were 46.28 ± 0.30, 123.94 ± 0 ...

Effects of Binding between Ca in Hard Water and Phosphorus in Amylopectin on the Qualities of Boiled Rice and Rice Noodle Prepared by Soaking and Boiling in Hard Water [PDF]

Foods
Recently, global warming has led to an increase in chalky rice grains. This has consequently resulted in the deterioration in quality of rice products. Although we previously reported that hard water, rich in Ca, is useful for the quality improvement of ...

Amylopectin content rather than amylose or protein content is critical to determining the starch digestion rate in high-amylose rice

Food Chemistry Advances
The starch digestion properties of cooked rice are associated with the chemical compositions of the rice grain. However, limited information is available on the chemical composition governing starch digestion properties in high-amylose rice.

Amylopectin Partially Substituted by Cellulose in the Hindgut Was Beneficial to Short-Chain Fatty Acid Production and Probiotic Colonization

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Undigested amylopectin fermentation in the hindguts of humans and pigs with low digestive capacity has been proven to be a low-efficiency method of energy supply.

Starch Branching Enzyme 1 Is Important for Amylopectin Synthesis and Cyst Reactivation in Toxoplasma gondii

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) bradyzoites facilitate chronic infections that evade host immune response. Furthermore, reactivation in immunocompromised individuals causes severe toxoplasmosis.

Role of amylopectin synthesis in Toxoplasma gondii and its implication in vaccine development against toxoplasmosis

Open Biology, 2021
Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous pathogen infecting one-third of the global population. A significant fraction of toxoplasmosis cases is caused by reactivation of existing chronic infections.
