Metabolic Factors Influencing Ultimate pH

Ultimate pH (pHu) of pork is a major quality determinant. Higher pHu is associated with darker color (Kauffman et al., 1993). A lower pHu is associated with higher drip loss (Kauffman et al., 1993). Pale, soft, exudative (PSE) and red, soft, exudative (RSE) pork is undesirable because it has a low water-holding capacity. At pHu above 5.7, PSE and RSE pork quality problems do not occur (Fernande...

The effect of physical activity on metabolic and anthropometric factors in pre and postmenopausal women

Background and Aims: The beneficial effect of physical activity on some risk factors improves and promotes the metabolic and physiological factors in individuals. Women who have gone through menopause are at a greater risk. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of physical activity on metabolic and anthropometric factors in pre and postmenopausal women. Materials and Met...

Central and Metabolic Effects of High Fructose Consumption: Evidence from Animal and Human Studies

Fructose consumption has increased dramatically in the last 40 years, and its role in the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome has been implicated by many studies. It is most often encountered in the diet as sucrose (glucose and fructose) or high-fructose corn syrup (55% fructose). At high levels, dietary exposure to fructose triggers a series of metabolic changes originating in the liver, le...

Protective effect of curcumin in fructose-induced metabolic syndrome and in streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pre-treatment with curcumin on metabolic changes induced by two different pathophysiological mechanisms in rats (fructose diet and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes mellitus). Materials and Methods: Five groups with 10 rats per group were investigated: control group (healthy rats), fructose diet groups without any pre-treatme...
