This study aimed to examine the dietary glycaemic index (GI) and glycaemic load (GL) of Australian children and adolescents, as well as the major food groups contributing to GL, in the recent 2011-2012 Australian Health Survey. Plausible food intake data from 1876 children and adolescents (51 % boys), collected using a multiple-pass 24-h recall, were analysed. The GI of foods was assigned based...

BACKGROUND Glycyrrhizin has various pharmacological effects including hepato-protection. This study aimed to investigate the potential mechanism underlying the protective effects of 18α-glycyrrhizin (18α-GL) in rats with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced liver fibrosis. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into control group, fibrosis group, 25 mg/kg 18α-GL group and ...

Let $G = {rm Res}_{F/mathbb{Q}}(GL_n)$ where $F$ is a number field‎. ‎Let $S^G_{K_f}$ denote an ad`elic locally symmetric space for some level structure $K_f.$ Let ${mathcal M}_{mu,{mathbb C}}$ be an algebraic irreducible representation of $G({mathbb R})$ and we let $widetilde{mathcal{M}}_{mu,{mathbb C}}$ denote the associated sheaf on $S^G_{K_f}.$ The aim of this paper is to classify the data ...

Our starting point is a very simple one, namely that of a set L4 of four mutually skew lines in PG(7, 2). Under the natural action of the stabilizer group G(L4) < GL(8, 2) the 255 points of PG(7, 2) fall into four orbits ω1, ω2, ω3, ω4, of respective lengths 12, 54, 108, 81. We show that the 135 points ∈ ω2 ∪ ω4 are the internal points of a hyperbolic quadric H7 determined by L4, and that the 8...

The herpes simplex virus (HSV) gH-gL complex is essential for virus infectivity and is a major antigen for the host immune system. The association of gH with gL is required for correct folding, cell surface trafficking, and membrane presentation of the complex. Previously, a mammalian cell line was constructed which produces a secreted form of gHt-gL complex lacking the transmembrane and cytopl...

Membrane fusion induced by herpes simplex virus (HSV) requires the action of four viral membrane glycoproteins (gB, gD, gH, and gL) and the binding of gD to one of its receptors, such as the herpesvirus entry mediator or nectin-1. The related animal herpesvirus, pseudorabies virus (PRV), encodes a homologous set of glycoproteins and its gD can also use nectin-1 as an entry receptor. We show her...

With the known group relations for the elements (a, b, c, d) of a quantum matrix T as input a general solution of the RT T relations is sought without imposing the Yang-Baxter constraint for R or the braid equation forˆR = P R. For three biparametric de-formatios, GL (p,q) (2), GL (g,h) (2) and GL (q,h) (1/1), the standard,the nonstandard and the hybrid one respectively, R orˆR is found to depe...
