Utilization and Addition Sugars to Ruminants Rations

Responses to sugars in dry or liquid formvary from study to study. When fed in proper amounts, sugars should not depress ruminalpH, and there is some evidence that they actuallyhelp toprevent a drop in pH after consuming largemeals of concentrate by maintaining a highernumberoflactate-fermenting bacteria. Adding sugars doesprioritize the need for rumen degraded protein (RDP).we all know, sugars...

Kinetic Studies on Caramelisation of Reducing Sugars

Urinary Sugars—A Biomarker of Total Sugars Intake

Measurement error in self-reported sugars intake may explain the lack of consistency in the epidemiologic evidence on the association between sugars and disease risk. This review describes the development and applications of a biomarker of sugars intake, informs its future use and recommends directions for future research. Recently, 24 h urinary sucrose and fructose were suggested as a predicti...

Sugars: Natural versus added

I have a family history of diabetes, so I try and control my sugar intake. I am having a lot of trouble figuring out how much sugar is the maximum amount of sugar to allow in my diet. I have read that "added sugar" intake should be limited to no more than ten percent of your daily calories, but I have no idea how to determine what amount of sugar in food is natural versus added. I assume that a...

Identification of amino sugars.

1. The acute hepatotoxic action of dimethylnitrosamine was investigated with homogenates and mitochondrial preparations from the livers of rats injected with 100 mg./kg. body weight at various times between 8 and 24 hr. before killing. 2. Aerobic oxidation of pyruvate, octanoate, L-malate, citrate, L-glutamate, a-oxoglutarate and ,-hydroxybutyrate progressively decreased after the twelfth hour ...
