Background: Postexercise muscle glycogen synthesis is an important factor in determining the time needed to recover from prolonged exercise. Objective: This study investigated whether an increase in carbohydrate intake, ingestion of a mixture of protein hydrolysate and amino acids in combination with carbohydrate, or both results in higher postexercise muscle glycogen synthesis rates than does ...

Indirect Determination of Ascorbic Acid by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

A new and simple method followed by atomic absorption spectrometry has been developedfor indirect determination of ascorbic acid (AA). The proposed method was based on the oxidationof AA to dehydroascorbic acid with Cu2+cation(200mgL-1)in an ammonium thiocyanatesolution atpH2.4. AA reduces Cu2+to Cu+followed by the precipitation of Cu+ with SCN-. Then, the excess ofCu2+in the solution was measu...

Forensics Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

Atomic absorption spectroscopy Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) was developed in the early 1950’s by Alan Walsh. It works on the principle that certain elements absorb certain wavelengths, and this level of absorption is characteristic of each element. Also, electrons in atoms can only exist in particular energy levels, and when an electron moves to a higher energy level, electromagnetic ra...
