Ad libitum consumption of protein- or peptide-sucrose solutions stimulates egg formation by prolonging the vitellogenic phase of oogenesis in anautogenous mosquitoes

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Anautogenous mosquitoes commonly consume nectars and other solutions containing sugar but are thought to only produce eggs in discrete gonadotrophic cycles after blood-feeding on a vertebrate host.

Exploiting mosquito sugar feeding to detect mosquito-borne pathogens [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010
Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) represent a global public health problem, with dengue viruses causing millions of infections annually, while emerging arboviruses, such as West Nile, Japanese encephalitis, and chikungunya viruses have dramatically expanded their geographical ranges.

Self‐Feeding of Engineered Tissues via Controlled Glucose Release Facilitates Survival and Vascularization of Living Implants

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Engineering living matter has great clinical potential to deliver functional replacement organs. However, clinical translation remains hampered by the current inability to maintain viability of clinically relevant‐sized constructs. During the pre‐vascular phase, implants rely on nutrient diffusion for survival, which is insufficient at ...

A Free-Choice High-Fat High-Sugar Diet Alters Day–Night Per2 Gene Expression in Reward-Related Brain Areas in Rats

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Under normal light–dark conditions, nocturnal rodents consume most of their food during the dark period. Diets high in fat and sugar, however, may affect the day–night feeding rhythm resulting in a higher light phase intake.

Strategies for Loading and Releasing Peptide Therapeutics in Biodegradable Carriers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A biodegradable carrier‐based peptide delivery system is a powerful treatment platform for diverse diseases, owing to its superior therapeutic efficacy and low toxicity. This review examines the conventional peptide‐loaded carrier fabrication process and its current limitations.

The Effect of Feeding Strategy on Butanol Production by Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 using Glucose and Xylose

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2018
We performed fed-batch fermentations of glucose and xylose mixtures producing butanol. Our aim was to develop a feeding strategy for coping with carbon catabolite repression (CCR) and sequential utilization problems as well as understanding the effect of

Feeding Sugar to Tumors: With a Supplement of miR? [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association, 2012
Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is a 450-kDa adhesive glycoprotein that was initially discovered in platelets and subsequently in a variety of cell types. TSP-1 is one of the first physiological inhibitors of angiogenesis to be identified and remains one of the most potent and best described.[1][1] TSP ...

Targeting Post‐Irradiation Thyroid Dysfunction: Electrospun Scaffolds As A Dual‐Action Approach for Antioxidant and Immune Modulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Radiation‐induced hypothyroidism follows head and neck radiotherapy due to oxidative stress and inflammation. Electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds containing adenosine have potential to modulate thyroid repair. Scaffolds enhance thyrocyte proliferation, antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and catalase, reduce senescence and apoptosis markers ...

Sugar and blood: the nutritional priorities of the dengue vector, Aedes aegypti

Parasites & Vectors
Background Sugar-feeding behaviour is essential for mosquito survival and reproduction, and has been exploited to develop new control strategies, such as the attractive targeted sugar baits (ATSB).

Audit on parental awareness of minimising added sugar intake during complementary feeding

Clinical Medicine
Objectives: The NHS recommends that children aged 4 years and below avoid any food and beverages with added sugar.1 We audited against this with a survey. This study aimed to evaluate parental awareness on added sugar intake during complementary feeding.
