Long-Evans rats downshifted from 32% to 4% sucrose solution exhibit lower consummatory behavior during downshift trials than rats exposed only to 4% sucrose. In Experiment 1, this effect, called consummatory successive negative contrast (cSNC), was attenuated by administration of the benzodiazepine anxiolytic chlordiazepoxide (CDP, 5mg/kg, ip) before the second downshift trial (Trial 12), but w...

Trehalose is the non-reducing alpha-alpha-1, 1-linked glucose disaccharide. The biosynthesisprecursor of trehalose, trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P), is essential for plant development, growth,carbon utilization and alters photosynthetic capacity but its mode of action is not understood. In thecurrent research, 6 days old seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana (Columbia ecotype) were grown inliquid cultu...

Thermal resistance in heat-sensitive, dipicolinic acid (DPA)-less spores of Bacillus cereus Ht-8 heated in sucrose solutions increased at and above a concentration of 2 M sucrose. The decimal reduction times at 75 degrees C for spores heated in 0.0, 1.8, 2.2, and 2.6 M sucrose were 2.0, 2.8, 4.5, and 12 min, respectively. Maltose, fructose, and glucose increased heat resistance above that obser...

High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is commonly found in soft drinks and juice beverages, as well as in many pre-packaged foods such as breakfast cereals, baked goods and dairy desserts. Historically, sucrose (table sugar) was primarily added to processed foods and beverages as the sweetening agent. In recent years, the use of HFCS has significantly increased in popularity due to its sweetness, abi...

background: cries of the newborn could be due to pain, thirst, hungry and fear from new environment. in our study we evaluated the effect of the sucrose drops on pacifying the children prior to a painful intervention or procedure with regards to the fasting condition of the children. methods: this triple blind clinical trial was conducted on 60 otherwise healthy children aged less than 1 year w...

I. Techniques were devised for the operation of a new small-scale gnotobiotic rat unit. 2. The unit was then used to compare the cariogenicity of sucrose and glucose under carefully controlled conditions in the presence of a single strain of a streptococcus, as gnotobiotic experiments by other workers had given conflicting results. 3. Streptococcus IB-1600 was implanted into thirty-four rats, w...

present experiment was carried out to check the effect of different concentrations of sucrose (2, 4, 6%), ga 3 (25, 50, 75 ppm) and combination of sucrose and cuso4 (2% + 200, 4% + 300, 6% + 400 ppm), sucrose and ga 3 (2% + 25 ppm), (4%+50 ppm), (6%+75 ppm) on keeping quality and vase life of carnation cv. ‘eskimo’. some postharvest characteristics such as vase life, total soluble solids (tss),...

the tuberose cut flower is much less longevity in postharvest. the less vase life due to stress of deficit carbohydrate and quick respiration on inflorescence. in this study, effectiveness factors, sucrose, cacl2, al2so4 and re-cut the stems. in current research two separate experiments were arranged as a factorial based on compeletly randomized design. the first experiment were added to all ex...
