Enteric pathogens cause considerable public health concerns worldwide including tropical regions. Here, we review the roles of carbohydrates in the infection strategies of various enteric pathogens including viruses, bacteria and protozoa, which infect the epithelial lining of the human and animal intestine. At host cell entry, enteric viruses, including norovirus, recognize mainly histo-blood ...

The aim of this review was to evaluate whether eating vegetables before carbohydrates could reduce the postprandial glucose, insulin, and improve long-term glycemic control in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. We studied the effect of eating vegetables before carbohydrates on postprandial plasma glucose, insulin, and glycemic control for 2.5 y in patients with type 2 diabetes. The postpra...

Effect of temperature on the retention of amino acids and carbohydrates in high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC) was investigated. Amino acids retention exhibited both exothermic and endothermic behavior. Significant selectivity variations of some weakly retained amino acids were achieved through changing temperature. However, temperature was almost ineffective at changing the ...
