Monosodium glutamate delivered in a protein-rich soup improves subsequent energy compensation [PDF]
Previous research suggests that monosodium glutamate (MSG) may have a biphasic effect on appetite, increasing appetite within a meal with its flavour-enhancing effect, but enhancing subsequent satiety due to its proposed role as a predictor of protein ...

SUMMARY The phosphoenolpyruvate(PEP):carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS) is found only in bacteria, where it catalyzes the transport and phosphorylation of numerous monosaccharides, disaccharides, amino sugars, polyols, and other sugar ...

Electronic Single Molecule Identification of Carbohydrate Isomers by Recognition Tunneling [PDF]
Glycans play a central role as mediators in most biological processes, but their structures are complicated by isomerism. Epimers and anomers, regioisomers, and branched sequences contribute to a structural variability that dwarfs those of nucleic acids and proteins, challenging even the most sophisticated analytical tools, such as NMR and mass ...

Using first-principles calculations, we show that the formation of carbohydrate directly from carbon and water is energetically favored when graphene membrane is subjected to aqueous environment with difference in chemical potential across the two sides. The resultant carbohydrate is two-dimensional, where the hydrogen atoms are exclusively attached on

A low-carbohydrate as compared with a low-fat diet in severe obesity.
BACKGROUND The effects of a carbohydrate-restricted diet on weight loss and risk factors for atherosclerosis have been incompletely assessed. METHODS We randomly assigned 132 severely obese subjects (including 77 blacks and 23 women) with a mean body ...

Characterisation of Optimal Responses to Pulse Inputs in the Bergman Minimal Model [PDF]
The Bergman minimal model is a dynamic model of plasma glucose concentration. It has two input variables -- insulin delivery and carbohydrate intake. We investigate the behaviour of plasma glucose concentration predicted by the model given carbohydrate (CHO) inputs and commensurate insulin inputs.

Consumer Willingness to Pay for Breads Marketed as "Low-Carbohydrate" [PDF]
Bread producers are taking advantage of healthy feeding habits by developing new "low carbohydrate" products to entice customers. These low carbohydrate breads are generally more expensive than conventional types.

Absorption of food in the black-jaw tilapia, Sarotherodon melanotheron (Ruppell) from a small tropical man-made lake in Ibadan, Nigeria [PDF]
The carbohydrate, protein and lipid contents of the food ingested and their absorption in the intestine of Sarotherodon melanotheron inhabiting Awba lake in Ibadan, Nigeria, were investigated. Total carbohydrates of the ingested food ranged from 39.33 to

BackgroundMicroalgae are highly efficient cellular factories that capture CO2 and are also alternative feedstock for biofuel production. Carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids are major biochemical components in microalgae.

The Meat of the Matter: A thumb rule for scavenging dogs? [PDF]
Animals that scavenge in and around human localities need to utilize a broad range of resources. Preference for any one kind of food, under such circumstances, might be inefficient. Indian free-ranging dogs, Canis lupus familiaris are scavengers that are heavily dependent on humans for sustaining their omnivorous diet.
