Salt intake and regulation in two passerine nectar drinkers: white-bellied sunbirds and New Holland honeyeaters [PDF]
Avian nectarivores face the dilemma of having to conserve salts while consuming large volumes of a dilute, electrolyte-deficient diet. This study evaluates the responses to salt solutions and the regulation of salt intake in white-bellied sunbirds ...

The Induction of Oxidative/Nitrosative Stress, Inflammation, and Apoptosis by a Ferric Carboxymaltose Copy Compared to Iron Sucrose in a Non-Clinical Model [PDF]
Introduction: Ferric carboxymaltose is a next-generation polynuclear iron(III)-hydroxide carbohydrate complex for intravenous iron therapy belonging to the class of so-called non-biological complex drugs.

The Use of an Anthrone Reagent to Detect Sugar Meals and Their Persistence in the Mosquito \u3ci\u3eAedes Triseriatus\u3c/i\u3e (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]
Adults of Aedes triseriatus were fed water, blood, and 10% pure and mixed solutions of glucose, fructose and sucrose. Adults were tested for fructose by the cold-anthrone test 0, 1, 4, 12, and 24 h after feeding. Water-fed males and females and blood-fed

A single meal has the potential to alter brain oxylipin content. [PDF]
Our objective was to determine whether consumption of a single meal has the potential to alter brain oxylipin content. We examined the cerebrum of mice fed a single high-fat/high-sucrose Western meal or a low-fat/low-sucrose control meal, as well as ...

Opiate Drug Seeking and Addiction: The Influence of Sucrose Consumption on the Acquisition and Expression of Morphine-induced Conditioned Place Preferences (CPP) [PDF]
Sucrose intake may lead to changes in brain and behavior similar to the effects of abused drugs. For example, sucrose may agonize endogenous opiate systems and modulate opiate-seeking behavior.

Gene regulatory networks elucidating huanglongbing disease mechanisms. [PDF]
Next-generation sequencing was exploited to gain deeper insight into the response to infection by Candidatus liberibacter asiaticus (CaLas), especially the immune disregulation and metabolic dysfunction caused by source-sink disruption.

Metabolism of soluble sugars in 4 varieties of banana, and activity of associated enzymes [PDF]
Changes in amounts of sucrose, hexoses (glucose and fructose), and in activities of Sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS), Sucrose synthase (SuSy) (sucrose hydrolytic way), Neutral Invertase (NIV) and Acid Invertase (AIV) were studied during development and ...

Effects of pre-exercise carbohydrate consumption on metabolism during exercise [PDF]
It is well documented that consuming carbohydrates (CHO) prior to exercise has been shown to alter metabolism. There are many ways that CHO ingestion affects substrate utilization and blood glucose dynamics at the start of exercise.
