The Feedback Control of Sugar Nucleotide Biosynthesis in Liver.

Comparison of Physical Activity and Fiber and Sugar Intake in Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease with Healthy Individuals

Introduction: Nutrition as a modifiable risk factor that plays an important role in prevent or delay the onset of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Thus, the aim of the current study was to assess and compare physical activity, dietary fiber and sugar intake between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and healthy individuals.Methods: The present case-con...

Lipophilic sugar nucleotide synthesis by structure-based design of nucleotidylyltransferase substrates.

Structure-based design of alkyl sugar-1-phosphates provides an efficient nucleotidylyltransferase-catalyzed synthesis of a series of new lipophilic sugar nucleotides possessing long or branched alkyl chains, thereby demonstrating the utility of nucleotidylyltransferases to catalyze the synthesis of sugar nucleotides with potential applications in lipopolysaccharide and lipoglycopeptide biosynth...

Increased glycosylation capacity in regenerating rat liver is paralleled by decreased activities of CMP-N-acetylneuraminate hydrolase and UDP-galactose pyrophosphatase.

In regenerating rat liver the activities of CMP-N-acetylneuraminate hydrolase and UDP-galactose pyrophosphatase were decreased to 40-50% of control values within 35 h after partial hepatectomy. In the same time period the activities of sialyltransferase and galactosyltransferase were increased, and the initial sharp decrease in the carbohydrate content of liver and serum glycoproteins was large...

Effects of Anatoxin B1 on Liver Nuclear DNA Biosynthesis in Growing and Day-old Chickens

The effect of sugar cane molasses on the immune and male reproductive systems using in vitro and in vivo methods

Objective(s): Sugar cane molasses is a commonly used ingredient in several food products. Contrasting reports suggest that molasses may have potential adverse or beneficial effects on human health. However, little evidence exists that examines the effects of molasses on the different physiological systems. This study investigated the effects of sugar cane molasses on various physiological syste...

Investigation of Anti–diabetic and Liver protective Effects of Kombucha syrup on Streptozotocin induced male wistar mice

Aim and Background: Diabetes is one of the most serious health problems in todaychr('39')s society. Also, therapeutic theories are problematic for general liver diseases such as cirrhosis, fatty liver and chronic hepatitis. Low effect of drugs in many patients has made it inevitable to examine and find other treatments. Current study, examines the anti-diabetic and liver protective effects of K...
