Resistant glucan (RG) and hydrogenated resistant glucan (HRG) are newly developed non-digestible carbohydrate materials that decrease lifestyle-related diseases. The bioavailability of RG and HRG was investigated by in vitro experiments using human and rat small intestinal enzymes and by in vivo experiments using rats in the present study. Oligosaccharides, which are minor components of RG and ...

In recent, the home network has become a preferred environment for many endusers to receive IP based multimedia services such as Internet Protocol TV (IPTV). In order that end-users in home networks can get opportunities for useful services beyond legacy IPTV services, this technical report suggests a service platform that resides on the residential gateway (RG) for interworking between home ne...

Red ginseng (RG, the extract of Panax ginseng Meyer) has various biological and psychological activities and may also alleviate fatigue-related disorders. The present study was undertaken to evaluate what kind of fatigue red ginseng alleviate. Animals were orally administered with 50, 100, 200, 400 mg/kg of RG for 7 days. Before experiments were performed. Physiological stress (swimming, rotaro...

The cell-wall pectic domain rhamnogalacturonan-II (RG-II) is cross-linked via borate diester bridges, which influence the expansion, thickness and porosity of the wall. Previously, little was known about the mechanism or subcellular site of this cross-linking. Using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) to separate monomeric from dimeric (boron-bridged) RG-II, we confirmed that Pb(2+) promo...

Retinal glia (RG) and retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE) have been previously identified in intravitreal cellular membranes of patients with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). This study was undertaken to determine if the co-presence of both cell types might lead to increased membrane growth due to some heterotypic cell interactions that enhance cell proliferation. Cell proliferation in...

Let G be a compact Lie group, let RG be a commutative algebra over the sphere G-spectrum SG, and let R be its underlying nonequivariant algebra over the sphere spectrum S. When RG is split as an algebra, as holds for example for RG = MUG, we show how to “extend scalars” to construct a split RG-module MG = RG ∧R M from an R-module M . We also show how to compute the coefficients MG ∗ in terms of...
